how to interface with optical dust sensor

This tutorial will teach you the basics of using optical dust sensors.
Description: Sharp\'s gp2y10au0f is an optical air quality sensor, also known as an optical dust sensor, designed to detect dust particles.
Infrared LEDs and Phototransistors are arranged diagonally in the device, enabling it to detect reflected light from dust in the air.
It is particularly effective in detecting very fine particles such as cigarette smoke and is usually used in air purifier systems.
To connect to this sensor, you need to connect to its 6-pin, 1.
Use the 5mm pitch connector for the plug-in connector.
Specifications: the schematic diagram above applies to Arduino Uno and Arduino Fio.
* For Arduino Uno, connect the pin Vo of gp2y10au0f to the pin A5 of Arduino Uno.
Also, Pin V-
The LED and pin Vcc of GP2Y1010AU0F can be connected to 5v or 3.
3v of Arduino Uno.
To get the results, download the sample source code that comes with it below and upload it to the Arduino.
* Please download the data sheet of the optical dust sensor for your own reference and better understand the coding written.
When the optical dust sensor is left in the room, the reading shown on the serial monitor.
Measurements of the obtained dust density indicate that there is only a small amount of dust in the air.
When the pen is inserted into the dust detector area, the reading shown on the serial monitor.
The measurement of the obtained dust density shows that there is a large amount of dust in the air.
This video shows how the optical dust sensor works.
