The YF-S201 utilizes a magnetic pinwheel and a Hall-effect integrated circuit to measure fluid displacement. When liquid passes through the valve, it spins the rotor, causing the Hall-effect sensor to output a series of digital high/low pulses. Pin Configuration VCC (5V to 18V DC power) Black Wire: GND (Ground connection) Yellow Wire: Pulse Output (PWM/Digital signal) Technical Specifications Flow Rate Range: 1 to 30 Liters per Minute (L/min) Working Voltage: 4.5V to 18V DC Output Frequency Formula: is frequency in Hz, and is flow rate in L/min) Downloading and Installing the YF-S201 Proteus Library

The "Deep Story" of the YFS201 in Proteus is that You must be clever: replace the sensor with a Frequency Generator (Clock) and write code that translates that frequency into "Liters per Minute." Pin Configuration VCC (5V to 18V DC power)

This code counts pulses for one second, computes the flow rate using the calibration factor (7.5), integrates to obtain total volume, and prints the result to the serial monitor. integrates to obtain total volume
Alternative Method: Manual Simulation Without a Custom Library
You must manually download and install a third-party library.
