This is how I did mine. The 3 wires on each flow meter are power, ground and pulse (instructions from Adafruit label the wires). I cut off the female adapter from each flow meter and separated the wires. I purchased some bead board jumper wires and used them to create new wires by soldering...
Thanks, I am in the US but glad to have a starting point to modify. Teen kids in the house, as in the quote you posted, is also my motivation for the time stamp.
Adapters for the adafruit flow meters arrived today, but unfortunately didn't fit. I edited my previous post to remove the link so...
@kaljade will you please share how you display "Standard drinks"?
Also, I was thinking of trying to display the date and time of the last pour. Has anyone done that before?
2.4.2 is correct. You don't need to assign a static IP ...I am using a dynamic IP assigned by DHCP. However, be mindful if you are accessing the PI from other computers and the dynamic IP gets reassigned, you'll have to determine and use the new IP.
If you follow the without flow meters instructions, it looks like you just need to adjust Step 6 to use the new path /var/www/html/ in place of /var/www/
Also, you can confirm that you are using the correct ip address by running an ifconfig command on the Pi
You can find where to change the Apache directory in this post (reference to Step 7 in bold text):

Thanks day_tripper.
I found and ordered these, which look like they should work for connecting the adafruit flow meters to the beer lines:
Edit: Link removed ...these arrived and didn't fit the flow meters :(
I’m still not exactly sure about wiring up the flow meters to the Uno. I ordered...
Pi and Rpints setup went well and everything seems to be running great. Anyone have advice on the best way to wire the 3 flow sensors to the uno? Do I need a bead board or just create a 3 to 1 wire for power? Will USB from the Pi to the Uno be good to power the sensors?
Hello,
I just finished building a keezer with my brother and today I am working on getting rasberrypints setup. First, thanks to all the contributors here that have kept this project alive. I’ve read through this thread and its great. I’m going to use a Pi3 with Jesse, along with an Uno and...
