Introduction
The DFRobot Grayscale Sensor is an analog sensor. It is a special sensor with arduino expansion boards. The Gray-scale sensor interface uses PH 2.0 socket. The power supply needs the same controller, typically for 3.3V or 5V.
Specification
- Analog Sensor
- PH 2.0 socket
- Special sensor with Arduino expansion boards
- Pins Description: 1--Output; 2--Ground; 3--Power supply
- Input Voltage: 3.3V/5V

Sample Code
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); // open serial port, set the baud rate to 9600 bps
}
void loop()
{
int val;
val=analogRead(0); //connect grayscale sensor to Analog 0
Serial.println(val,DEC);//print the value to serial
delay(100);
}
