Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit integrates an Arduino UNO microcontroller with a GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor, a resistor, and an electrolytic capacitor. The Arduino UNO is used to control and read the output from the dust sensor. The resistor and capacitor are used to support the operation of the dust sensor, with the resistor acting as a current-limiting component for the sensor's LED and the capacitor stabilizing the LED power supply.
