DUST SENSOR with SERVO MOTOR

Hi,

I am trying to develop a project in which if the DUST SENSOR detects the DUST density to be more than
40 ug/m3 then it would flick the Servo motor to flick the Switch ON and vice-versa.

This is the code for it.

I have attached a schematic of the DUST SENSOR with the ARDUINO UNO R3 only. Else the Servo Motor Schematic could be easily understood. I tried it connecting it with my laptop but I think there is a voltage division problem. I am new to Arduino. Please help soon.

Why don't you just use a relay module connected to a digital pin?

Can you please show me how to do it.

Buy a suitable relay module, for the voltage and current you need to switch. Connect the module to the arduino and the device you want to control to the output terminals of the relay. it's simple. Google 'Arduino relay" and you'll find loads of how to articles.

Just be careful if you're using mains AC voltage connections...

I have a two-way relay module with me.

But is there any other way?

Please help!

There's always another way, but using a relay module would seem to be the easiest here.

Why do you want to use a servo?
What are you trying to switch on and off?
What's its voltage and power rating?
How will you power the Arduino?
What's the spec of the relay module you have?
Does it include an opt-isolator?

  1. to flick a switch
  2. a switch connected to two fans and a strip led
  3. the servo is a 9G SG90
  4. first with my laptop for testing then 9v alkaline battery
  5. IDK
  6. IDK

I meant the voltage and power of the fans and strippings LED, not the servo.

Ignoring the relay/servo question for now, is the dust sensor bit of your code working? What sort of dust density do you see in the serial monitor output?
