KY-008 Laser Transmitter Module

Laser Transmitter module KY-008 for Arduino, emits a dot shaped, red laser beam.

The KY-008 Laser transmitter module consists of a 650nm red laser diode head and a resistor. Handle with caution, do not look directly into the laser head.

Connect signal (S) to pin 13 on the Arduino and ground (-) to GND. Middle pin is not used.

This Arduino sketch will repeatedly turn on and off the laser head every second.

int laserPin = 13;

void setup() {                
	pinMode(laserPin, OUTPUT);  // Define the digital output interface pin 13 
}

void loop() {
	digitalWrite(laserPin, HIGH); // Open the laser head
	delay(1000); // Delay one second
	digitalWrite(laserPin, LOW); // Close the laser head
	delay(1000); 
}
