KY-008 Laser Sensor Module
The KY-008 Laser Sensor Module is a compact and powerful component designed for makers, students, and professionals engaged in Arduino-based electronics, robotics, and IoT projects. This module features a 5V red laser diode that emits a 650nm wavelength laser beam, which can be easily detected by photodiodes, LDR sensors, or phototransistors for laser communication or object detection setups.
With low power consumption (~30mA) and a compact PCB layout, the KY-008 module is widely used in projects like:
-
Tripwire and security alarms
-
Laser-based data transmission
-
DIY laser pointers
-
Object detection systems
-
Laser grid systems in automation
It connects directly to microcontrollers like Arduino UNO, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and others through a digital output pin. Whether you’re building a laser maze for fun or experimenting with advanced sensing techniques, this module brings flexibility and simplicity to your toolkit.
