: In simulation, calculations involving decimals (floats) can sometimes lag the CPU. If your simulation runs slow, consider using integer math (multiplying by 100) to keep the processing light [3]. Visualizing Results Virtual Terminal
To build a functional flow rate monitor, pair the simulated YF-S201 model with an Arduino Uno microcontroller and an external 16x2 LCD display. Schematic Wiring Map Connect the sensor pin to the Arduino 5V rail. Connect the sensor GND pin to the Arduino GND rail.

The Arduino cannot tell the difference between pulses from a real YF-S201 wheel and pulses generated by a Proteus digital clock generator. Step 2: Circuit Schematic Design in Proteus
For example: 150 Hz → 150 / 7.5 = 20 L/min Schematic Wiring Map Connect the sensor pin to
| Benefit | Explanation | |---------|-------------| | | No need to buy physical sensors for initial testing | | Rapid prototyping | Test code changes in seconds | | Debugging | View pulse trains, count interrupts virtually | | Education | Safe environment for students learning flow sensors | | Hardware independence | Simulate even when sensor is out of stock |
lcd.setCursor(0, 1); lcd.print("Flow: "); lcd.print(liters_per_minute); lcd.print(" L/min "); lcd.print(" L/min ")
What are you pairing with the sensor (Arduino, PIC, ESP32)? Do you need assistance creating the LCD display circuitry ?
