hi
good morning
would you please suggest me , if i can use
Optical Dust Sensor - GP2Y1010AU0F
with
SparkFun DataLogger IoT
In stock DEV-22462
i am trying work out if i cam make my dust count data logger

No Hardware Hookup - SparkFun DataLogger IoT Hookup Guide. See the list of supported sensors here SparkFun DataLogger IoT - DEV-22462 - SparkFun Electronics
You could follow the wiring here https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/gp2y1010au_e.pdf with this logger SparkFun OpenLog Artemis (without IMU) - DEV-19426 - SparkFun Electronics and log to its analog input
Hi @Salim ,
The GP2Y1010AU0F is a little bit tricky. The LED inside needs to be pulsed at the correct rate, and you need to sample the analog voltage at the correct point in the LED pulse. I wrote some code to do that - 9 years ago.
I do not know if the GP2Y1010AU0F will work correctly at 3.3V? The datasheet recommends 5V.
It would be much easier to make a dust sensor data logger using a sensor which has an I2C interface.
The DataLogger IoT supports the SEN54, but it is out of stock at the moment. It needs a separate Qwiic Boost to generate 5V for the sensor.
We also have this combo sensor, which has the boost circuit onboard, but it too is out of stock at the moment:
I hope this helps,
Paul
