Accurate flow measurement is crucial from both qualitative and economic perspectives. Flow meters have proven to be excellent devices for measuring water flow, and with the well-known YF-S201 water flow sensor, creating a water management system has become straightforward. For instance, you can build a robotic cocktail dispensing machine that uses this sensor to measure components like soda and water with precision.
The YF-S201 1/2 inch water flow sensor is designed to be installed inline with the water pipe and features a pinwheel sensor that tracks the amount of water flowing through it. It includes an integrated magnetic Hall-effect sensor that generates an electrical pulse with each revolution. The YF-S201 sensor has just three wires, making it easy to connect to any microcontroller or Arduino board. It operates on +5V Vcc and provides pulse output, requiring a secure fit within the water pipeline.
