Solid build quality
PCB looks clean and soldering is good. Potentiometer feels a bit tight but works.
5 FAQ
Q: Does it provide analog output?
A: This specific module provides a digital switching output. For analog, check our LDR sensor without comparator.
Q: Are the Dupont wires male-to-female?
A: Yes, the included wires are female-to-female jumper wires suitable for breadboards.
Q: What is the maximum current draw?
A: The module draws approximately 10mA when the output LED is active.
Q: Is this compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers?
A: Yes, the module operates comfortably between 3.3V and 5V DC.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?
A: Use the blue potentiometer on the board. Turn clockwise to increase sensitivity.
