Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller and a KY-008 Laser Emitter. The Arduino UNO serves as the main control unit, while the KY-008 Laser Emitter is used to emit a laser signal. The components are interconnected to allow the Arduino to control the laser emitter through a digital signal.


Component List

Arduino UNO

  • Description: A popular microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It is used for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world.
  • Purpose in Circuit: Acts as the main control unit to manage the operation of the KY-008 Laser Emitter.

KY-008 Laser Emitter

  • Description: A small laser emitter module that can be controlled by a microcontroller to emit a laser beam.
  • Purpose in Circuit: Emits a laser signal when activated by the Arduino UNO.
