GP2Y1010AU0F Compact Optical Dust/Smoke Sensor (HCSENS0024)

The GP2Y1010AU/GP2Y1014AU (HCSENS0024) from Sharp is an optical air quality sensor, designed to sense dust particles. An infrared emitting diode (IRED) and a phototransistor are diagonally arranged into this device, which allows it to detect the reflected light of dust in air. It is very effective in detecting very fine particles like the cigarette smoke.

The sensor has a very low consumption current of only 20mA (MAX) (11mA Typical) whilst the sensor is taking a measurement. The output of the sensor is an analogue voltage proportional to the measured dust density, with a sensitivity of 0.5V/0.1mg/m3.

This sensor comes complete with a connection cable (connector already attached), a 150 Ohm current limiting resistor for use with the IR LED, and a 220uF 16V capacitor. Please see diagram for how to use these components.

Overall Dimensions: 46mm x 33mm x 18mm
Product code: HCSENS0024


Please note: This sensor has been calibrated by the factory. Adjusting the sensitivity potentiometer situated on the back of the module will cause the module to give inaccurate readings.

A suitable capacitor and resistor are supplied with this kit. Do not omit these components as it will cause damage and/or inaccurate reading from the sensor

Pin 2 (GRN).......GND
Pin 3 (WHT).......IR LED control (HIGH = IR LED off, LOW = IR LED on)

Example sketch:

Code: Select all

/* FILE:    GP2Y1010AU0F_Dust_Sensor_Example
   DATE:    24/08/17
   VERSION: 0.2
   AUTHOR:  Andrew Davies

   15/08/16: V0.1 initial version.
   24/10/17: V0.2 reduce ADC sampling delay from 320us to 280us

This example Arduino sketch will read the analogue voltage from the dust senors output
pin and convert it into a mg/m^3 value. To keep the sketch simple the result is based 
on an approximation of the linear part of the output v dust density graph in the 
datasheet.

You will need to connect the sensor to your Arduino as follows:

GP2Y1010AU............Arduino
Pin 1 (WHT).......5V via 150 Ohm resistor
Pin 2 (GRN).......GND
Pin 3 (WHT).......D2
Pin 4 (YEL).......GND
Pin 5 (BLK).......A0
Pin 6 (RED).......5V

GP2Y1014AU............Arduino
Pin 1 (BLU).......5V via 150 Ohm resistor
Pin 2 (GRN).......GND
Pin 3 (WHT).......D2
Pin 4 (YEL).......GND
Pin 5 (BLK).......A0
Pin 6 (RED).......5V

Additionally a 220uF capacitor should be connected across the sensors Pin 5 and GND

Hi

The wire colours on my detector I've just received are in a different order to the ones shown here.

I have a connector wired as follows

Red (5V)
Black (Output)
Yellow (GND)
White (LED Control - Green on your diagram)
Green (GND - Blue on your diagram)
Blue (LED Anode - White on your diagram)

Can I assume the positions of the wires are correct on the picture and go by them and ignore the colours?
Thanks

Yest that's correct. The manufacturer has discontinued the GP2Y1010AU and replace it with the GP2Y1014AU which is functionally identical. However it seems the colour coding on the supplied cable has changed but the pinout on the module is the same. I've updated the information in the first post and also added an additional diagram to clear this up. Sorry for the confusion.

Just found a few errors in the Arduino example sketch code and wiring colours for the GP2Y1014AU only.
Should be:

GP2Y1014AU............Arduino
Pin 1 (BLU).......5V via 150 Ohm resistor, positive capacitor
Pin 2 (GRN).......GND. negative capacitor
Pin 3 (WHT).......D2
Pin 4 (YEL).......GND
Pin 5 (BLK).......A0
Pin 6 (RED).......5V

Additionally the 220uF capacitor should be connected across the sensor Pin 1 and Pin 2

The initial mention of 320 uS should be the actual maximum time the LED is activated, not a delay.

The A/D conversion takes about 100 microseconds (0.0001 s) to read an analog input according to the Arduino website, and the read point should be at 280 uS. Close? This is not croquet but computing, dammit!

My scope shows a waveform bump and 280 uS appears to be over the crest.
Sharp should get with the 10's and put the external resistor and capacitor and an 8 pin STM8S001 microcontroller (or even better a 6 pin Microchip PIC10F320 - 2 to 4 uS for A/D conversion) inside and allow I2C or serial access to a block of digital readings. The external trigger should be a single pulse or command and all of the timing and A/D conversion should be in Sharps domain. My last analog computer kit was a Christmas present in 1961 - GE Project Analog Computer. Analog is dead! and for good reason as demonstrated here.

So it may be best to turn on the LED (low logic 0) and delay about 80 uS and then read the analog. Analog to Digital conversion can take a longer time depending on the design of an ancient Arduino ATmega chip.
Further testing of the analog function timing should be tested before a device is put into service.
The final delay should be tuned to turn off the LED at 320 uS +- 20 uS, according to the specs.

Ah yes, I've just updated the sketch to include the new colour coding. Looks like I made a cut and paste error. I've corrected it now thanks.

Additionally the 220uF capacitor should be connected across the sensor Pin 1 and Pin 2
I don't see anything wrong here. Where do you see the problem?

The initial mention of 320 uS should be the actual maximum time the LED is activated, not a delay.
Looking at datasheet I agree, I think the time should be reduced to 280us. 320us (+/- 20us) is the 'recommended' on time. Note that no maximum on time is specified. I'll reduce the delay in the sketch a little.

The A/D conversion takes about 100 microseconds (0.0001 s) to read an analog input according to the Arduino website, and the read point should be at 280 uS. Close? This is not croquet but computing, dammit!

This is my interpretation so is open to debate but remember that the ADC is a sample and hold circuit so it's not the ACD conversion time that matters but rather the sampling time. Assuming the output impedance of the sensor is < 10K the sampling time for the ADC (according to the datasheet) is not significant. Therefore the sampling should start at 280us.

There's no problem as that was my suggested correction :lol: see next as it still appears.

should be:
Additionally a 220uF capacitor should be connected across the sensors Pin 2 LED-GND and Pin 1 V-LED + capacitor
/* Turn the sensors IR LED on for 320us */
/* Turn the sensors IR LED on for 280us */

The 320uS LED pulse width is a spec in the datasheet, however ridiculous it sounds. I am going to get this working with an STM8S, 11 clock cycles at 16 MHz for AD conversion.

One last thing, missing Ts in OUPUT in graphics.

Many thanks, my passion and enthusiasm often gets mistaken for criticism, but I seriously put a little humour in it to make it interesting.
