Water Flow Sensor Arduino 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.
Water flow sensor arduino lcd. The water flow sensor consists of a plastic valve body a water rotor and a hall effect sensor. In this tutorial we will be hooking up a flow sensor to an arduino uno to measure liquid flow. The hall effect sensor outputs the corresponding pulse signal. Use this arduino flow rate sensor with a solenoid valve to monitor and control the water used.
For this purpose using interrupts is a best choice. Water flow sensor measure on 16x2 lcd display arduino project hub water flow sensor measure on 16x2 lcd display gpl3 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 5v is red coloured wire the black one is gnd and yellow one is output. And then connect lcd pins 4 6 11 12 13 14 to arduino digital pins d7 d6 d5 d4 d3 d2.
When the water flows through the rotor rotor rolls and the speed of it changes with a different rate of flow. 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. In the above circuit i attached the pulse output pin of flow sensor to arduino digital pin 3. The yf s201 sensor can measure from 1 litre minute to 30 litre minute.
Arduino flow rate sensor. Lets begin and make circuit i will explain the code and circuit later. Checking the flow rate of water complete video wi. Arduino have to count the number of pulses outputted by the water flow sensor.
The water pressure should be less than or equal to 1 75 mpa. 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. Since it s an analog sensor so connect its analog pin to a0 of arduino as shown in the figure above. Have fun with your new arduino flow rate sensor.
The sensor gives out frequency directly proportional to water flow. Yfs201 water flow sensor. Connect yfs201 hall effect water flow sensor vcc pins to 5v power supply gnd to gnd. The sensor has 3 wires red yellow and black as shown in the figure below.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use one water flow sensor with an arduino board.
