I think I could get around ~40 pulse per each call of flowMeter. getFrequencySync() in a Thread.sleep(100) loop.
Is it still unsafe to just use the getFrequencySync() method for that amount of pulse? Or maybe I can just lower the sleep time to maybe Thread.sleep(50) for better accuracy? Thanks for the hint, I'll try to look into that.
