KY-010 Broken Light Blocking Sensor

Description

1. Broken Light Detection: The module is designed to detect when light is blocked or interrupted. It typically consists of an infrared (IR) emitter (LED) and a phototransistor or photodetector.
2. Analog Output: Many versions of the KY-010 sensor provide an analog output signal that varies depending on the amount of light received by the phototransistor. When light is blocked, the output voltage typically decreases, and when light is allowed to pass, the output voltage increases.
3. Digital Output (Optional): Some versions of the sensor may have a digital output, which changes from HIGH to LOW or vice versa when light is blocked or unblocked, based on a specified threshold.
4. Adjustable Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the sensor can often be adjusted using a potentiometer, allowing you to set the threshold for detection.
5. Compact Size: These modules are small and easy to integrate into various electronic projects.
6. Low Power Consumption: The sensor is designed to be energy-efficient and can be used in battery-powered applications.
