No disrespect intended for my second post here. Defending myself here.
IMHO; The problem with the Innovatek is:
1) You can't get it ANYWHERE in the USA reliably.
Yes. HighspeedPC sells them; but when I started my project; they had been out of stock for 3mths. They got them instock after my first prototype was already complete.
2) $55 for a flow meter isn't exactly cheap when you can't get them when you need/want them.
3) It can't be easily customized. OR at least it isn't obvious how easy it is to mod it.
My design can be customized any way you like. If you like the bling:bling mod capability; then you'll enjoy the fact that my design will have your choice LED colors - whatever you want to buy.
4) All the documentation of Innovetek is in German.
I didn't see them providing
calibration curves for the device either.
5) Can you really argue with a device that is the size of a US Quarter?
If you don't like my design; that's fine.
I just wanted you to understand WHY I did it.
