Y-010 Broken Light Blocking Sensor 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 de emitter an detector to check if the path between both is being blocked by an opaque object.

What is the operating voltage of the KY-010 sensor?
The KY-010 operates at 5V DC and is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi GPIO levels.
How do I connect the KY-010 to an Arduino?
Connect GND to ground, +5V to 5V pin, and signal (S) to digital pin 3. Use digitalRead() to detect beam interruptions.
Can the KY-010 detect transparent objects?
No, it only detects opaque objects that block the infrared beam between the emitter and detector.
Is this sensor suitable for industrial applications?
Yes, it's used in automation, object counting, and safety systems due to its reliable non-contact detection.
