Wiring Diagram Example
AXE007M2 Arduino UNO -------------------------- VCC ----> 5V GND ----> GND OUT ----> D2 (Digital Input)
To adjust detection sensitivity, use the onboard potentiometer and verify output logic with the following code snippet (Arduino example):
void setup() {
pinMode(2, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int val = digitalRead(2);
Serial.println(val);
delay(100);
}
Troubleshooting & Local Environment Tips
- If false triggers occur, check for strong sunlight or reflective nearby surfaces.
- For long cable runs, use shielded wire and keep sensor wiring separate from power lines.
- Test detection range after installation, especially in dusty or variable-light areas common in SA workshops.
South African institutions can request VAT invoices and custom quotes. Many schools and universities use AXE007M2 modules for competitions and learning-check lead times before bulk ordering for scheduled projects.
