PRODUCT ReviewThis product is easily one of my favourites to add to a project due to these reasons:
1. It's small and compact, so it can fit into small enclosures. 2. It's really accurate and can be used for a variety of projects like backlights in mobile phones. 3. It has pre-soldered pins, for convenience. 4. The software interface of this product is simple, therefore, the code used is very basic. 5. The hardware is simple, making it not so complex since it only has three pins (Signal, VCC & GND). Pinout5v = VCC (+)
OUT = Signal GND = GND (-) |
