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.
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.
This type of flow sensor is designed to measure the volume of liquid traveling past a given point a great way to keep tabs on how much water your drip irrigation system is using or any other project were the flow of liquid needs to be tracked.
In this tutorial we will be hooking up a flow sensor to an arduino uno to measure liquid flow.
If the output valve of the pipe is terminated the output of the water flow sensor is zero that means no pulses.
The water flow sensor is combined with a magnetic hall effect sensor which produces an electric pulse with every strike.
Use this arduino flow rate sensor with a solenoid valve to monitor and control the water used.
This is why for today s tutorial i thought it will be cool to look at this nice water flow sensor.
Yfs201 water flow sensor.
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.
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.
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.
The yf s201 and its use in an arduino based project.
Code for arduino based water flow meter.
We will interface the water flow sensor with arduino and lcd and program it to display the volume of water which has passed through the valve.
