Good starter sensor

Easy to wire but instructions could be clearer. Works well once you understand the digital output.

5 FAQ

Q: Is this analog or digital output?

A: This module provides a digital switch output (TTL). It goes high or low based on the light threshold set by the potentiometer.

Q: Can I connect this directly to 5V?

A: Yes, the operating voltage range is 3.3V to 5V DC, so 5V logic systems are fully supported.

Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi GPIO?

A: Yes, it is compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins. Ensure you connect the VCC to 3.3V or 5V accordingly.

Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?

A: Use the blue potentiometer on the board. Turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the light intensity threshold.

Q: Is this waterproof for outdoor use?

A: No, this is an indoor electronic component. It should be housed in a waterproof enclosure if used outdoors.
