The GY-8511 UV Sensor Module (GY-ML8511) is a sensor module designed for measuring ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels. It provides an analog output that corresponds to the intensity of UV light detected.
UV Detection: The sensor module is equipped with a photodiode sensitive to UV light. When exposed to UV radiation, it generates an electrical signal proportional to the intensity of the UV light.
Analog Output: The module provides an analog voltage output that varies with the intensity of UV light. This analog voltage can be read by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) on a microcontroller.
Operating Voltage: The module is designed to work within a specified voltage range, typically compatible with common microcontroller platforms like Arduino.
Sensitivity Range: The sensor is designed to measure UV-A and UV-B radiation, which are the ranges most relevant to human health and sun exposure.
Compact and Easy to Use: The GY-8511 module is compact and can be easily integrated into various electronic projects. It can be connected to microcontrollers using standard jumper wires.
Weather Stations: UV sensors are often integrated into weather monitoring systems to provide UV index data as part of weather reports.
Skin Care Products: In the cosmetics and skincare industry, UV sensors can be used to monitor the effectiveness of sunscreen products and provide recommendations for application.
Environmental Monitoring: UV sensors can be used in research and environmental monitoring systems to measure UV radiation levels in various settings.
