Additional Details

The GP2W0130YPOF sensor utilizes the principle of light scattering to detect dust. The IRED emits infrared light, and the photodiode measures the amount of light scattered by dust particles in the air. The output signal is an analog voltage proportional to the dust concentration. The sensor's sensitivity and detection range can be adjusted by varying the IRED current and the amplification of the photodiode signal. Detailed specifications and application notes can be found in the Sharp Microelectronics datasheet.
