This is why for today s tutorial i thought it will be cool to look at this nice water flow sensor.
Arduino measure water flow.
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.
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.
The water flow sensor has 3 different wires red yellow and black as shown in the figure below.
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.
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.
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.
Code for arduino based water flow meter.
Use this arduino flow rate sensor with a solenoid valve to monitor and control the water used.
Water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino code along with.
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.
The yf s201 water flow sensor consists of a pinwheel sensor that measures the quantity of liquid passing through it.
In this tutorial we will be hooking up a flow sensor to an arduino uno to measure liquid flow.
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.
The yf s201 and its use in an arduino based project.
Flow sensor helps you to calculate the flow rate and volume of liquid that has passed through the pipe.
