YF-S201 Water Flow Sensor Hall Effect 1-30L/min

YF-S201 G1/2 Hall Effect Water Flow Meter Sensor 5-18V DC

YF-S201 Water Flow Sensor is a highly efficient Hall effect-based flowmeter designed to accurately measure water flow in real-time. This sensor works by detecting the rotation of an internal rotor fitted with a magnet, generating pulse signals proportional to the flow rate. These pulses can be easily read by microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, or other embedded systems.

In Bangladesh and BD-based DIY or industrial projects, this sensor is widely used due to its affordability and reliability. Whether you are building a smart water monitoring system, automated water dispenser, or industrial flow control unit, the YF-S201 provides stable and consistent performance. At Biggan Project, this sensor is popular among students, engineers, and hobbyists for water-related automation systems.
