TSD-10 Thermometrics Turbidity Sensor Features
The TSD-10 turbidity sensor measures the turbidity using optics and light passing through the liquid. This sensor has an analog output and requires an ADC converter. It is used in washing machines to measure the density of water turbidity. By using an optical transistor and optical diodes, it measures the amount of light coming from the source of the light to the light receiver, in order to calculate water turbidity. This sensor has a waterproof body.
Note
You need 4.7K Ohm and 470 Ohm resistors in order to set up this module.

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
// read the input on analog pin 0:
int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
// print out the value you read:
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(20);
}
After uploading the code, you will see this image.
