Product Review

Honestly, I think that I am impressed with this component because this product has a lot of positive remarks to go with it including:

• A powerful range, reaching up to 60ft and more.
• It has good quality, not having any manufacturing faults or problems.
• I used this with an Arduino Uno, and I'm able to easily program this module with ease, blinking the laser or using it as a strobe.
• The software is very easy and short in terms of lines of code.
• Since this module has very small dimensions, it can be mounted to almost any project and can be fitted in to any project box.
• The hardware is very easy to connect to a micro-controller or programmer as it has only three pins (Signal, VCC and GND).

Sample code

    int laserPin = 10;
    void setup ()
    {
       pinMode (laserPin, OUTPUT);
    }
    void loop () {
       digitalWrite (laserPin, HIGH);
       delay (1000);
       digitalWrite (laserPin, LOW);
       delay (500);
    }
