We can use it in our gardening system or interface it with an lcd display for other applications that require to measure water flow rate and quantity.
Arduino measure water flow.
This is why for today s tutorial i thought it will be cool to look at this nice water flow sensor.
The water flow sensor has 3 different wires red yellow and black as shown in the figure below.
The yf s201 water flow sensor consists of a pinwheel sensor that measures the quantity of liquid passing through it.
Yfs201 water flow sensor.
Water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino code along with.
The yf s201 and its use in an arduino based project.
Use this arduino flow rate sensor with a solenoid valve to monitor and control the water used.
In this project we will interface yfs201 hall effect water flow sensor with arduino for measuring flow rate and volume of water or any other liquid this is a very wonderful project that can be used in industry or at home or at water flow measurement application in water tap tunnel river etc.
It is very simple to measure the water or liquid flow by using water flow sensor yf s201 with arduino this article describes about the water flow sensor and how the water flow sensor works then how to interface water flow sensor with arduino to take control on volume we need to measure water is essential to every thing here this article helps you to built water flow meter to measure the.
If the output valve of the pipe is terminated the output of the water flow sensor is zero that means no pulses.
In this project we attached the water flow sensor to a pipe.
In this project use the yf s201 1 2 inch water flow sensor to measure the water flow rate l min and display it on an lcd.
For this particular project we are going to use the yf s201 water flow sensor which uses a hall effect to sense the flow rate of the liquid.
Flow sensor helps you to calculate the flow rate and volume of liquid that has passed through the pipe.
The water flow sensor is combined with a magnetic hall effect sensor which produces an electric pulse with every strike.
In this tutorial we will be hooking up a flow sensor to an arduino uno to measure liquid flow.
