A: A small precision flathead screwdriver is required to turn the blue potentiometer.

Q: Is this module compatible with 3.3V logic systems?

A: The module operates best at 5V to 12V. While output might be readable at 3.3V, we recommend 5V for stability.

Q: What is the maximum current the output pin can handle?

A: The output is a signal level only. Please do not connect high current loads directly to the output pin.

Q: Does this provide an analog output signal?
