Good sensitivity, needs calibration
The module detects dust very well. Just remember that you need to write your own calibration code based on your specific environment to get accurate PM2.5 values.

Standard industry choice
This is the go-to optical dust sensor for many commercial air purifiers. Easy to interface with microcontrollers via the provided connector pinout.

Works well but documentation is sparse
The hardware is solid, but I had to search online forums for example code to get the voltage conversion right. Once set up, it responds quickly to smoke and dust.

Reliable component
Bought two of these for a home automation project. Both arrived in perfect condition and have been running 24/7 for a month without issues.

Consistent readings
I compared this against a professional grade meter and the correlation is surprisingly good for the price point. Highly recommended for prototyping.

Perfect for my DIY air monitor
This sensor works exactly as described. I integrated it with an Arduino and the analog readings are stable and consistent. Great value for hobbyist projects.
Q: What is the warm-up time required before taking readings?
A: For optimal stability, we recommend allowing the sensor to warm up for at least 1 to 3 minutes after powering on before recording data.
Q: Can this detect cigarette smoke?
A: Yes, the optical scattering principle used by this sensor is effective at detecting smoke particles within the specified size range.
Q: Is the 6-pin connector included with the module?
A: Yes, the module comes with the 6-pin JST connector pre-soldered and a matching cable is typically included in the package.
Q: Does this module output digital data directly?
A: No, the GP2Y1014AUVF outputs an analog voltage proportional to the dust density. You will need an ADC (like on an Arduino or ESP32) to read the value.
Q: What is the maximum current consumption?
A: The sensor typically draws around 110mA to 150mA during operation when the internal LED is pulsing. Ensure your power supply can handle this peak load.
