A brief note on water flow sensor.
Water flow sensor arduino working.
There will be no interrupt signal seen at the pin 2 of the arduino and the count of the flow frequency will be zero.
In our project we connected the water flow sensor to a pipe.
In this project i will talk a little bit water flow sensors how a water flow sensor works and how to interface a simple water flow sensor with arduino.
In our project we connected the water flow sensor to a pipe.
In water flow meter a small fan wings like rotor is placed in way of fluid.
Shaft of this structure has magnetic link with hall s effect sensor.
Connecting the water flow sensor to arduino requires minimal interconnection.
Arduino water flow sensor working.
The water flow sensor for flow rate volume measurement using arduino works on the principle of the hall effect.
How to use water flow sensor arduino tutorial.
Circuit diagram of water flow meter working of water flow meter using arduino and yf s201.
The sensor s output pin is connected with arduino board pin 2.
There will be no interrupt signal seen at the pin 2 of the arduino and the count of the flow frequency will be zero.
Hall sensor has 3 pins two pins are for power and one pin is for output.
Working of yfs201 hall effect water flow sensor.
These sensors are available in different diameters with different flow rate ranges.
Connect the vcc red and gnd black wires of the water flow sensor to the 5v and gnd of arduino and link pulse output yellow wire of the water flow sensor to arduino s digital pin 2.
It requires only 5v vcc and gives pulse output the sensor needs to be tightly fitted between water pipeline.
Water flow sensing in water metering systems.
Specifications of 1 2 inch water flow sensor yf s201 model.
The water flow sensor used in this project is shown in the image below.
Arduino water flow sensor working.
Water flow sensor as the name suggests is a device to measure the flow of water.
The water flow sensor can be used with hot waters cold waters warm waters clean water and dirty water also.
Flow meter working principle.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use one water flow sensor with an arduino board the water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body a water rotor and a hall effect sensor.
When the water flows through the rotor rotor rolls and the speed.
Just as shown in the schematic diagram the flow sensor is connected with arduino board using jumper wires.
If the output valve of the pipe is closed the output of the water flow sensor is zero no pulses.
Yf s201 1 2 inch water flow sensor has only three wires and it can be easily interfaced between any microcontroller and arduino board.
