Wiring & usage notes
Many modules in this style expose both analog and digital pins. Use the analog pin for raw readings and the digital pin for threshold-based switching, if available. Water-quality sensors usually need calibration solutions and regular probe care. Probe condition and temperature can affect the reading.
