Dust Sensor GP2Y1010AU0F for Arduino

The Dust Sensor GP2Y1010AU0F by Sharp is an air quality sensor designed to detect fine dust particles in the air. Inside the sensor is an infrared LED and a phototransistor positioned diagonally to detect light reflected by dust particles. When dust passes through the sensor, the light is scattered and detected, then converted into an analog voltage that represents the amount of dust in the air. With a typical sensitivity of 0.5V per 0.1mg/m³, it can detect even small changes in air quality. Its low power consumption (max. 20mA) also makes it perfect for portable or battery-powered devices.

This sensor is ideal for use in air purifiers, HVAC systems, smart home projects, and DIY Arduino air monitoring setups. It comes with everything you need to get started—wires, capacitor, and resistor—making integration easy and beginner-friendly. Whether you're building a home air quality meter or developing a custom dust detection system, the GP2Y1010AU0F offers a great balance of accuracy, efficiency, and convenience. It’s a reliable choice for anyone serious about monitoring the air they breathe.
