3. Setup
To begin using the sensor modules, you will need a compatible main controller board (e.g., Arduino Uno, Mega 2560, or Raspberry Pi). Each module features 3-4 pins for easy connection.
3.1 Connecting Modules
- Identify Pins: Each sensor module has clearly labeled pins, typically for Power (VCC), Ground (GND), and Signal (SIG). Refer to the individual module's documentation for specific pinouts.
- Power Supply: Connect the VCC pin of the module to the 5V or 3.3V output of your controller board, and the GND pin to the Ground pin of the controller board. Ensure correct voltage to avoid damage.
- Signal Connection: Connect the SIG pin of the module to an appropriate digital or analog input/output pin on your controller board. The specific pin will depend on the module and your project requirements.
- Breadboard Usage: For prototyping, use a solderless breadboard to make connections between the modules and the controller board. Dupont wires are recommended for this purpose.

5. Maintenance
Proper care of your sensor modules will ensure their longevity and reliable performance:
- Storage: Store modules in a dry, anti-static environment, preferably in their original packaging or a dedicated component box, to prevent damage from static discharge or moisture.
- Handling: Handle modules by their edges to avoid touching sensitive components. Static electricity can damage electronic parts.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean modules with a soft, dry brush or a lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
- Power: Always ensure correct voltage and polarity when connecting modules to a power source. Incorrect connections can lead to permanent damage.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while using the sensor kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Check Connections: Verify that all wires are securely connected to the correct pins on both the module and the controller board. Loose or incorrect connections are a common cause of problems.
- Power Supply: Ensure your controller board and modules are receiving adequate power. Check power indicators on the board if available.
- Code Verification: Double-check your code against the provided tutorial examples. Small typos or logical errors can prevent proper operation.
- Module Functionality: If a specific module is not working, try testing it with a known working example from the tutorials to isolate whether the issue is with the module itself or your custom setup.
- Controller Board: Confirm that your Arduino or Raspberry Pi board is functioning correctly by running a simple test sketch (e.g., blinking an onboard LED).
