Yf-s201 Proteus Library

const int sensorPin = 2; // YF-S201 Signal connected to Digital Pin 2 (Interrupt 0) volatile uint32_t pulseCount = 0; float flowRate = 0.0; float totalVolume = 0.0; unsigned long previousMillis = 0; const unsigned long interval = 1000; // Update once per second

The most critical characteristic for simulation is the relationship between the water flow rate and the frequency of the output pulses. The sensor's frequency-to-flow rate equation is: Flow Rate (Q) = Pulse Frequency (F) / 7.5 This formula, where the frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), is the key to using the simulation methods described later in this guide.

void loop() static unsigned long lastTime = 0; static float flowRate = 0;

Example Arduino code for reading the YF-S201 sensor using interrupts to get flow rate and total volume. const int sensorPin = 2; // YF-S201 Signal

If you are using a Virtual Terminal, a black text window will pop up showing the serial data stream.

Before jumping into Proteus, it is essential to understand how the hardware works. The YF-S201 consists of a plastic valve body and a water rotor. Inside the rotor, a Hall Effect sensor sits opposite a magnet.

Double-click the Arduino Uno component in Proteus and upload the Hex file to its program property path.

// Reset for next reading pulseCount = 0; previousMillis = currentMillis; attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(sensorPin), countPulse, RISING); // Re-enable interrupt

As you click the logic state repeatedly to simulate the turning of the flow sensor rotor, you should see the Flow Rate (L/min) and Total Volume (Liters) update on your simulated LCD screen. Troubleshooting Common Simulation Errors With the right Proteus simulation setup, you can
