Very great tutorial. I'm going to use this project to measure the amount of waste water on my reverse osmosis system, and then check if installing a permeate pump lowers the waste ratio. Thank you!
I am using this very same sensor like yours. I used 12v pump as well to maintain constant pressure however I am getting inaccurate readings. Should the sensor be above the pump? And is there any recommended distance from the pump to the sensor for a more accurate readings? Please advise me if you can 😊
So this only works if you use a water pump because the sensor only gives accurate readings if there is a uniform water flow? Well, what if I wanted to measure volume based on a dynamic flow rate? Say, for example if you used a sink faucet, in which you never really know exactly what the flow rate will be since the water flow depends on how far you turn the faucet? If the flow sensor senses the flow rate, can't we use that to calculate the volume? And even if the flow rate changed while filling, is there no way to use calculus to calculate the rate of change of the flow rate to determine your volume when all is said and done? This video only works with a constant flow rate? Surely there is a way to use flow sensor data to determine the volume for a dynamic flow rate, isn't there?
Good night, it's me again, I'm about to buy the water flow sensor, I have one last question, does it work on 12v too? or I’ll have to ask 5 volts from the source to power it. My intention is to put to read the quantity of liters / hour of my watercooler. Thanks for listening.
Sir. Is it not possible to store the data while not running the program? I want it to store the data on a csv file & know the amount of the water that has flown through the sensor later sometime?
I already fix it sir....thank you...but i have another problem...how do i reset the value of the total volume once the sensor already stop?because it just add to the last data....if i use reset....this won’t help me since i am using a rtc and it would reset also the time...any thoughts sir? I would be happy to hear it...i am currently working with my school project...
Hi, great video, I have a question, can I connect this water sensor to the computer? will the motherboard read the rpm or any other reading of the yellow cable? Thank you very much
@@ElectroniClinic I was thinking of connecting directly to the CPU FAN, but in the motherboard manual, the sequence is GND, CPU FAN PWR, CPU FAN IN. I can change the sequence of the water sensor wires. Thanks
Would it make more sense to use a fourteen bit binary counter and save on interrupt calls? The core of this device is actually liters per pulse !!!. Therefore you would have automatic quantity measurement. Appropriatel timer interrupts could give flow rate measurements if required.
Hi, great job, i'm doing the same project but with air , i need to measure air flow rate and air volume using a flow sensor and arduino. does anyone have any idea what kind of sensor can be used, i have to find the right sensor. I ask for help, I would be very grateful if someone can help.
I really liked your little attachment for your soldering iron to melt holes. So many people use the irons tip which just wrecks it. Good work
For the first time i understood how the water flow sensor works.
Anyway great tutorial.
Vry good video to understand the flow sensor for a new member to this field.
Super 👍

Nice video
That's great!
Wow this is simply amazing
Great
Can i use relay to stop motor instead of solenoid valve
sir can u please make video on wireless posture monitoring system?
Ok.sure i will.make.
Thank u sir
thank u sir
Yup would be helpful.

hey there, what kind of tube is that? Thanks

it works with any flow rate , pulse based flow sensor have accuracies of +- 1 % , calibration can boost its accuracy .
Can you make custom device?
is it possible for it to dispense a fixed amount of water? like 5ml every push to the button
Wow cool!!!

Osm
sir what if i didnt want use data interrupt function, it still possible to get the result same as your project?
Sir. Is it not possible to store the data while not running the program? I want it to store the data on a csv file & know the amount of the water that has flown through the sensor later sometime?
Yes you can. You can.store this data in sd card.
Shall we use this for milk also ?
ya for all liquids
Can we use it with another flow rate sensor i.e which have 10-20L/min of working range.
I use 12v pump and the same water flow sensor as you do...but it seems it gives wrong value...how fix this?
I have explained this point in the video. Watch complete video
I already fix it sir....thank you...but i have another problem...how do i reset the value of the total volume once the sensor already stop?because it just add to the last data....if i use reset....this won’t help me since i am using a rtc and it would reset also the time...any thoughts sir?

Such a great video but Would the accuracy be greatly affected when a varying flow rate is applied? such as draining water using gravity?
you will need to perform some tests. but if somehow you can maintain a constant pressure you can achieve high accuracy.
use a water pump, as I did.
Is it possible to use other pin instead of pin 2 by some reason?
yes you can.
How to configure to Oil?
Should I want to change the value 7
7 which is mentioned in the code
Hi, can I know what are the specs of the water pump use in the video? Or at least the flow rate of the pump. Very helpful video btw 👍
Helo can you make it work for water vending machine
Witch ardino work this properly ardino nano ya ardino uno
both, if you want to reduce the cost and size then arduino nano is best
i used YF-S201 and my reading is wrong. is that any update in code for YF-S201. PLEASE LET ME KNOW .
i hope to measure correct fuel volume using msp430. can you help me

I have a question. Is it possible to make a system with:
1. moisture sensor
2. water pump
3. water volume meter
in just one arduino? or i requires 2?
Use esp8266 instead of Arduino and make it run as a web server ..
The total output is chaging for same quantity with change in flow rate.How to correct it?
Would it make more sense to use a fourteen bit binary counter and save on interrupt calls? The core of this device is actually liters per pulse !!!. Therefore you would have automatic quantity measurement. Appropriatel timer interrupts could give flow rate measurements if required.
what im going to do if im going to reset the reading every 1000ml thank you very much
if statement ! ..
if (volume == 1000) {
volume = 0;
}
Hi bro, can I please have the coding . You show it on the video but it's a bit blur. Sorry for asking again . Thank you so much. 😊
you can download the code from electroniclinic.com. I have added link in the description.
flow rate still increase even if there is no running water
How 12v power supply to motor control by aurdino?
Solenoid is externally powered by it's own 12V the arduino just sends the signal to engage the 12V power supply

Did you succeed??
Did you succeed??
this video coding send in bio bro
It's available on electroniclinic. Com
