Description of YF-S201 12mm Water Flow Sensor
Quick Overview
The YF-S201 12mm Water Flow Sensor is designed to measure the flow rate of liquids, particularly water, in a closed-loop system. With its high sensitivity and quick response time, this sensor is perfect for various real-time monitoring applications, both educational and commercial.
How It Works
The sensor comprises a hall-effect sensor and a rotor wheel. As water flows through the sensor, the rotor spins. The hall-effect sensor detects each rotation and sends a pulse output. A connected microcontroller calculates these pulses to determine the flow rate of the liquid.
