Dust Sensor GP2Y1010AU0F for Arduino

 

This Dust Sensor GP2Y1010AU0F for Arduino is based on Sharp's GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor, which consists of an infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor. Both primary components work hand in hand to detect dust particles. They are diagonally aligned to maximize the reflected light of the dust present in the air. It's low power consumption boasts a reading of 20mA max. Once the dust particles are detected by the sensor, it turns them into an analog voltage proportional to the measured dust density, which the sensitivity is 0.5V/0.1mg/m3

Specifications:
