The KY-008 Laser Transmitter Module 5V is a compact laser diode module that emits a focused 650nm red dot when connected directly to a 5V supply. Built around a copper-jacketed laser diode head mounted on a small breakout PCB, it is a popular choice for laser trip-wire, alignment, and pointing projects with Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Key features:
- 650nm Red Laser: Emits a clearly visible red dot beam suitable for pointing, alignment, and line-of-sight projects.
- Direct 5V Operation: Runs straight from a 5V digital output pin with no external driver circuit required.
- Compact Size: The small PCB and pre-focused copper head fit easily into breadboards and tight enclosures.
- Simple 3-Pin Interface: Breaks out signal, power, and ground for quick wiring to any microcontroller.
- Low Power Draw: Draws only a few milliamps, making it safe to switch directly from a digital I/O pin.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for laser tripwire alarms, target pointers, and distance-measurement experiments.
Mount the module on a breadboard or a small bracket and switch it from any digital pin to add a laser indicator to your next project.
