KY-001 sensor pinouts and connections
The KY-001 module features three basic pins for quick connection to a microcontroller or single-board computer. The Signal pin is responsible for communication via the 1-Wire bus, while the +V and GND pins are used to power the module. Simple configuration makes connecting the sensor to Arduino or Raspberry Pi platforms quick and easy, even for beginners. The sensor can also operate in parasite power mode , where power is drawn directly from the data lines. This solution reduces the number of wires in the project and facilitates integration into more complex measurement systems.
