Waveshare GP2Y1010AU0F Dust Sensor Module - Optical Air Quality Sensor
The Waveshare GP2Y1010AU0F is an optical dust sensor module designed for detecting airborne particulate matter (PM), compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It outputs an analog voltage proportional to dust density, making it suitable for air quality monitoring applications.
Features
- Optical sensing principle for detecting fine dust particles and cigarette smoke.
- Analog voltage output with a sensitivity of 0.5V per 0.1 mg/m³.
- Low operating current: 20mA max, typically 11mA.
- Wide operating voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V DC.
- Compact module design with pre-mounted LED and phototransistor.

The GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor module utilizes an infrared LED and a phototransistor arranged at an angle to detect light scattered by dust particles passing through its sensing chamber. This optical method allows for the detection of fine particulates, including those from cigarette smoke. The module includes built-in signal conditioning circuitry, providing a stable analog output voltage that increases linearly with higher dust density.
Designed for integration into portable and fixed air quality monitors, the sensor operates reliably across an industrial temperature range. Its low power consumption and simple analog interface make it a practical choice for environmental sensing projects, HVAC system monitoring, and air purifier feedback control.
