PRoduct Review

Honestly, I think that I am impressed with this component because this product has a lot of positive remarks to go with it including:
​1.
A powerful range, reaching up to 60ft and more.
 2. It has good quality, not having any manufacturing faults or problems.​
​ 3. I used this with an Arduino Uno, and I'm able to easily program this module with ease, blinking the laser or using it as a strobe.
4. The software is very easy and short in terms of lines of code. 
​5. Since this module has very small dimensions, it can be mounted to almost any project and can be fitted in to any project box.
​​6. The hardware is very easy to connect to a micro-controller or programmer as it has only three pins (Signal, VCC and GND).
