KY-010 Broken Light Blocking Sensor
| Model | KY010 |
| Sensor Type | Broken Light Blocking Sensor |
| Operating Voltage | 3.3 ~ 5V |
| Dimensions | 18.5mm x 15mm |
| Weight | 5 grams |
The KY-010 Photo Interrupter module consists of an optical emitter/detector in the front and two resistors (1 k? and 33 ?) in the back. The sensor uses a beam of light between the emitter and detector to check if the path between both is being blocked by an opaque object.
Connect the power line (middle) and ground (left) to +5V and GND, respectively. Connect the signal (S) to pin 3 on the Arduino.
