Good value sensor
Solid performance for the price. Just make sure you give it time to warm up before taking readings.

Needs calibration knowledge
Hardware is fine but beginners might struggle with converting voltage to PM2.5 values without research.

Works great for air quality projects
I used this to build a home air quality monitor. The readings are stable and match my commercial unit closely.

Perfect replacement
Bought this to replace a failing GP2Y1010. It fits perfectly and the sensitivity seems improved.

Reliable and consistent
We use these in several prototype units. They have been reliable over the past 6 months of testing.
Q: Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, but you will need an ADC converter since the Pi lacks analog inputs.
Q: Can I use 3.3V power supply?
A: No, the sensor requires 5V DC to operate the internal LED and circuitry correctly.
Q: What is the warm-up time required?
A: We recommend waiting at least 3 minutes after powering on for stable readings.
Q: Does it detect cigarette smoke?
A: It detects particulate matter found in smoke, but is not certified as a fire safety device.
Q: Is the cable included?
A: Yes, the module comes with a 6-pin connector cable attached.
