Easy to integrate
As a beginner, I was worried about wiring this up, but the pinout is standard and easy to understand. The LEDs provide clear visual feedback which helps during debugging. Works great with Raspberry Pi GPIO.

Reliable non-contact detection
I've tested this with various metals including aluminum and copper, and it detects all of them consistently. The response time is fast enough for my sorting machine application. Great product.

Good value but needs calibration
The module is compact and well-built. It took a little trial and error to get the detection range right for small screws, but once tuned, it is very reliable. Just make sure you have a stable 5V power supply.

Solid performance for the price
Used four of these on a mobile robot for obstacle avoidance involving metallic objects. They are consistent and haven't failed yet. The only downside is the included wires are a bit short, but that's minor.

Exceeded expectations
Very sensitive and accurate. I was able to detect a coin through a thin layer of wood, which was surprising. The build quality feels durable. Will definitely buy more for future projects.

Perfect for my Arduino project
This sensor works exactly as described. I used it to detect metal parts on a conveyor belt prototype, and the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer made it very easy to calibrate. Highly recommended for hobbyists.
Q: Can this sensor detect non-ferrous metals like aluminum?
A: Yes, this inductive sensor is designed to detect all types of metals, including non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass, not just iron or steel.
Q: Is the detection distance adjustable?
A: Yes, there is a blue potentiometer on the board that allows you to adjust the sensitivity and effectively change the detection distance from 0mm up to approximately 20mm depending on the metal size.
Q: What is the maximum operating voltage for this module?
A: The module operates safely within a DC voltage range of 3.3V to 5V. We recommend using 5V for optimal detection range and stability.
Q: Does this come with connecting wires?
A: Yes, the package typically includes a set of pre-soldered jumper wires or a connector cable to help you get started immediately with your microcontroller.
Q: Can I use this outdoors in the rain?
A: This module is not waterproof and is intended for indoor or protected environments. If used outdoors, please ensure it is housed in a waterproof enclosure to prevent damage from moisture.
