Easy Way to Drink More Water Every Day.

Easy way to drink more water every day.

How much water do you drink a day

You will be aware of the importance of The habit of drinking water without mentioning.

We need to drink more water. So, I wanted to know how much drinking water.

When I drink water, a Client send amount of water to Host.The host can store the amount of water and Real time (using NTP) to SD card.

Whole component

WIZwiki W7500(Wiznet) ———— 2

Xbee(Digi) —————————— 2

SD card ———————————1

OLED Display(SeeedStudio) —— 1

Load Cell + HX711 —————— 1

LED ————————————— 2

Tact Switch ————————— 2

Step 1: How to Check the Amount of Water You Drink.

How to check the amount of water you drink.

1. Make a chart and tick it off each time you drink a glass.
2. Automatic sensing

• Ultrasonic sensor to check the amount of water
  
• Measure weight of the water.

Weight of water?

Pure water has its highest density of 1000 kg/m3 at temperature 4C(39.2F)

• 1g = 1ml

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

Step 2: Weight Sensor (Load Cell + HX711)

Strain gauge

The force being sensed deforms a strain gauge. The strain gauge measures the deformation (strain) as a change in electrical resistance, which is a measure of the strain and hence the applied forces.

Step 3: ​Make Cup Holder(3D Modeling)

Used 123D Design tool

Step 4: Calibration & Measurement

This 9V battery is 44g and I made sure that the measurements.

(W:43g -> Current weight, B:43g -> Temporary value for comparison)

For Calibration, You have to change the value of scale in source code.

Step 5: Hardware

Host, Client, real parts.

Step 6: Operation Method - Test Data

1. The client sends the data to Host.
   • End 134: data type(Store at SD card: 1) + amount of water(34ml)
2. Access and request to NTP server for realtime.
3. Save realtime and a amount of water in SD card.

Step 7: Operation Method - Actual Data

1. Put up a cup of water on top of the Load cell weight sensor
2. Client sensed 264ml of water.
3. When I was drinking water, W:0(Current weight:0, because of holding the hand), B:264(saved weight:264)
4. Sensed 180ml
5. Put up a cup of water again. send data type(1) + 84ml of water.

Step 8: Logged Data on SD Card

Step 9: Visualization

But, you don’t have to think about is do a few liters of water a day

You just have to set the target amount of water. Then you can see the percentage of data like below.
