Dust Sensor Module Kit - GP2Y1014AU0F with Cable
This simple dust sensor is a great way to add basic particulate sensing to your next project. It's not as fully featured as our PM2.5 I2C/UART-based sensors, with just a single analog voltage output.
Pinout
- Blue wire
Sensor LED supply lead. Adafruit product page says connect the blue wire to 5V through the included 150 ohm resistor.
Type · powerVoltage · 5V through 150 ohm resistor - Yellow wire
Ground lead. Adafruit product page says connect yellow wire to ground.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V / GND - Green wire
Ground lead. Adafruit product page says connect green wire to ground.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V / GND - White wire
LED control input. Adafruit product page says connect the white wire to a digital output to control the LED.
Type · digital - Black wire
Dust signal output. Adafruit product page says connect the black wire to an analog input, and describes the sensor as giving a single analog voltage output where higher voltage means dustier air.
Type · analogVoltage · analog output maxes out at 3.6V; dust range stated as 0 to 0.5 mg/m3 - Red wire
Sensor power lead. Adafruit product page says connect the red wire to 5V.
