Good module, unclear pins
Functionality is solid but the pinout diagram could be clearer for beginners.

Great value for money
Bought five for a school project. All of them worked perfectly out of the box.

Sensitive to ambient light
Works as intended but requires shielding from ambient light for best results.
Q: Does it come with header pins soldered?
A: No, the module is shipped without header pins to allow flexible wiring.
Q: What is the maximum detection distance?
A: Distance varies by light source intensity, typically effective within close proximity.
Q: Is the output analog or digital?
A: This module provides a digital switching output (TTL).
Q: Can I connect this directly to a Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it is compatible with 3.3V logic systems like Raspberry Pi.
Q: Is there a specific library required?
A: No library is needed. It functions like a standard digital input switch.
