Yfs201 Proteus Library Exclusive

Since the YFS201 outputs a simple digital square wave, a generic pulse generator can mimic its behavior.

Right-click the YFS201 and hit "Edit Properties" (or double-click). You will see unique fields:

This is where the "exclusive" factor shines. Because Proteus cannot simulate actual fluid mechanics visually, the model uses a mathematical abstraction.

The availability of an exclusive YFS201 library is more than just a convenience; it represents a shift in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation capabilities. yfs201 proteus library exclusive

However, here's what you can do to simulate it in Proteus: Since the YFS201 outputs a simple digital square

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(7,8,9,10,11,12);
volatile int pulseCount = 0;
float flowRate = 0.0;
unsigned long oldTime = 0;
void pulseCounter() 
pulseCount++;

void setup() 
pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), pulseCounter, RISING);
lcd.begin(16,2);
oldTime = millis();
 Right-click the YFS201 and hit "Edit Properties" (or
void loop() 
if(millis() - oldTime > 1000)  //every 1 second
detachInterrupt(0);
flowRate = (pulseCount / 7.5); // Liters per minute
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print("Flow: ");
lcd.print(flowRate);
lcd.print(" L/min   ");
pulseCount = 0;
oldTime = millis();
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), pulseCounter, RISING);

Run the simulation in Proteus. As you change the Flow_Rate_Lpm property from 0 to 25, the LCD will instantly update. This exclusive library allows you to test edge cases (e.g., what happens if flow suddenly stops?) without wetting a single component.

Solution: The library didn't install correctly. Ensure the .IDX file is in the same folder as .LIB. Reboot Windows if necessary (Proteus caches the library index).
