RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Sensor Features The RCWL-0516 microwave radar motion detection sensor is used to detect motion at a maximum distance of 9 meters. The viewing angle of this module is about 270 degrees and it has a digital output. You can install a photocell sensor on this module. Note The RCWL-0516 module does not work properly at a distance less than 20 cm. Note This module can measure a maximum distance of 7 meters by default; but you can adjust distance by placing a resistor behind the board. No...

Load Cell Sensor Features Load cells are electronic sensors that are able to measure weight and force. The body is usually made of aluminum, alloy steel, or stainless steel which makes it very sturdy but also minimally elastic. This elasticity gives rise to the term "spring element", referring to the body of the load cell. When force is exerted on the load cell, the spring element is slightly deformed, and unless overloaded, always returns to its original shape. Load cell capacity is equal to the maximum am...

NEO-6M GPS Module Features The GY-NEO-6M module is an advanced GPS module that supports UART communication protocol with active antenna. You can interface this module easily with any microcontroller. This module has a rechargeable battery and can also be connected directly to a computer using a USB to TTL converter. This module can receive information and then calculate the geographical position with very high accuracy and fast speed. In addition to supporting BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS / QZSS, the modu...

L298N DC Motor Driver Feature L298N module is used to drive DC motors with a current of less than 2 amps. This module is easy to use. It contains convenient filter circuit and have access to inputs and outputs via pin headers and terminals. The L298N is a dual full-bridge motor driver that allows two DC motors to be connected simultaneously. Note The L298N motor controller follows the H-bridge configuration, so it can be used to drive stepper motors too. This driver needs a logic voltage supply to drive t...

GP2Y1010AU0F Dust Module Features The GP2Y1010AU0F is an optical air quality sensor, designed to sense dust particles. An infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor are diagonally arranged into this device, to allow it to detect the reflected light of dust in air. It is especially effective in detecting very fine particles like cigarette smoke, and is commonly used in air purifier systems. You can download the datasheet of this module here.[wpdm_package id='18191'] ...

MQ-2 Smoke Gas Module Features MQ series sensor uses a small heater inside with an electrochemical sensor in order to measure a different kinds of gas combinations. They can be calibrated, but, in order to do that, a known concentration of measured gas or gases is necessary. Gas sensor is an indoor module and is used at room temperature. The MQ-2 sensor is suitable for the detection of butane, methane, alcoholic, LPG and smoke. It is also sensitive to ignition and combustion of gases. Note Afte...

PC817 Optocoupler Module Features An Optocoupler, is an electronic component that interconnects two separate electrical circuits by means of a light sensitive optical interface.There is a is a light emitting diode with a phototransistor inside the optocouplers, both of them are isolated from the external environment of the optocoupler; This means that the internal phototransistor can only receive light emitted by the internal light emitting diode. The phototransistor base is stimulated by light receive...

GML692 Load Cell Sensor Features Load cells are electronic sensors used to measure weight and force. The structure of a load cell is made of an alloy body and a number of tensile strengths that change value by applying force and return to their original value by removing force. The capacity of a load cell is the maximum amount of force it can withstand. Note To measure tensile strength changes, we use the HX711 module. It is a high-precision analog-to-digital converter. Note 2 If you w...

YF-S201C Water Flow Sensor Features YF-S201C is a sensor used to measure the water flow. This water flow sensor mainly consists of a plastic valve body, rotor assembly, and hall effect sensor. This module works based on the hall magnetic effect. So when water flows through the rotor assembly, the rotor will rotate and the hall effect sensor will produce an electric pulse. By counting these generated pulses, the amount of water passing through the sensor can be calculated.The measuring range of water fl...
