Page 3: Optical Sensor
Optical Sensor Detection Range ....0.08 – 0.8 in (2 – 20mm) Connect the optical sensor to the J9 pins on the PCB using two 2-pin cables. Note: On the sensors, match the red wire to the positive pin and the black wire to the negative pin. On the PCB, the red wires should face toward the center of the board. - Page 4 Microphone Microphone Sensitivity ........105 dB ............(at 7.87 in./20 cm) Connect the microphone sensor to the J11 pins on your PCB using a 3-pin cable. V to V (power source) G to G (ground) S to I (digital pin) The signal is HIGH when no sound is detected and LOW when sound over 105 dB (for example, hand claps) is detected.
