Perfect for robotics projects
This sensor module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The sensitivity adjustment potentiometer makes it very easy to calibrate for different distances. Great value for the price.

Excellent for learning sensors
Bought this for a university project on obstacle avoidance. It is responsive and the build quality feels durable. Highly recommend for students and makers.

Reliable and consistent
We ordered ten of these for our workshop. All units tested perfectly out of the box. The detection range is accurate within the specified limits.

Good quality, clear instructions needed
The hardware is solid and the laser is bright. It took me a moment to figure out the pinout without a detailed diagram, but once connected, it performed exactly as expected.

Works well but gets warm
Functionality is great for line following robots. I noticed it gets slightly warm after an hour of continuous use, but it doesn't affect performance. Just ensure good ventilation.
Q: Can this module be used directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
A: Yes, the module operates at 5V, but the digital output is generally compatible with 3.3V logic levels. However, for stable operation, we recommend using a 5V power supply and checking your specific microcontroller's input tolerance.
Q: Does this come with connecting wires?
A: No, the package includes only the sensor module. You will need to purchase jumper wires separately to connect it to your development board.
Q: Is the laser class safe for indoor experiments?
A: Yes, this uses a low-power Class 2 laser diode. It is safe for general electronics experimentation, but you should avoid staring directly into the beam or pointing it at eyes.
Q: What is the maximum current consumption of this sensor?
A: The typical current consumption is around 30mA when the laser and detector are active. Please ensure your power source can provide at least 50mA to be safe.
Q: How do I adjust the detection distance?
A: There is a blue potentiometer on the back of the PCB. Use a small screwdriver to rotate it clockwise to increase sensitivity (distance) or counter-clockwise to decrease it while testing with an object.
