Summary
Water flow sensor (YF-S201) that measures flow rate in liters per minute. Provides an analog output proportional to flow and supports configurable minimum frequency.
Description
The Dataq YF-S201 Flow Sensor detects the flow rate of liquids using a hall-effect sensor and turbine. It outputs an analog signal representing the flow in liters per minute. The sensor can be enabled or disabled, and the minimum frequency threshold can be configured to filter low flow signals.
