Fluid Level Controller Project Overview

The fluid level controller project regulates fluid flow using an Arduino Uno microprocessor, a YF-S201 flow sensor, and a pump controlled via PWM. The system continuously compares actual flow rates to a desired setpoint, adjusting the pump speed accordingly while providing real-time feedback through an LCD display. Applications include industrial process control, medical infusion pumps, and irrigation systems.

ABOUT OUR
PROJECT

The fluid controller is a system used to regulate the


flow rate of a fluid to a desired value.
It operates by continuously comparing the actual flow
with a reference setpoint.
Based on the error between desired and measured
flow, a controller generates a control action.
This control action adjusts the actuator, pump.
COMPONENT Arduino Uno
S
1 Our main microprocessor. The Arduino
Uno acts as the central control unit of the
project.
It reads the water flow feedback from
the YF-S201 sensor after signal
conditioning.
The Arduino computes the error
between the desired and measured flow
rate.
Using a PID control algorithm, it
generates a PWM control signal. The
Arduino varies the PWM duty cycle to
change the average voltage applied to
the pump through the motor driver.
This PWM signal is sent to the motor
driver to regulate the pump speed and
control the fluid flow.
COMPONENT YF-S201 Flow
S Sensor
2 The YF-S201 flow sensor operates on the
Hall-effect principle and produces a pulse
train whose frequency is proportional to
the volumetric flow rate. The sensor
output is an open-collector type digital
signal, which is susceptible to noise and
slow edge transitions, especially in
electrically noisy environments involving
motors and pumps.
COMPONENT Pump & Moter
S Driver
3
PWM is used to control the pump speed.
Flow regulation was achieved by
controlling the speed of a 12V DC pump
using an L298N motor driver module.
Only one channel of the H-bridge was
utilized
COMPONENT LCD Display
S
4 20x4 LCD Display for Monitoring Flow
The LCD display used to provide real-
time visual feedback of the system
operation.
It displays important parameters such as
the measured flow rate and system PWM.
This allows the user to easily monitor and
verify the performance of the controller.
The LCD also helps in debugging and
calibration during testing.
Overall, it improves user interaction and
observability of the water flow control
system.
SIGNAL
Schmitt trigger
CONDITIONING
4 A Schmitt trigger is a comparator circuit
with hysteresis. It compares an input
voltage with two different threshold
levels, an upper threshold, a lower
threshold
The output changes state only when the
input crosses these thresholds. The
Schmitt trigger is used for signal
conditioning. The YF-S201 sensor
produces noisy, irregular pulses.
The Schmitt trigger converts these into
clean, sharp square pulses.
This ensures accurate pulse counting by
the Arduino and prevents false triggering
due to noise.
