Description of ๐Ÿ’ง KEYESTUDIO Turbidity Sensor Module V1 for Arduino - Water Quality Tester, Liquid Particle & Turbidity Level Monitoring

The turbidity sensor for arduino can detect the water quality by measuring the level of turbidity. The principle is to convert the current signal into the voltage output through the circuit. The lower the output voltage is, the higher the turbidity value. Its detection range is 0%-3.5% (0-4550NTU) , with an error range of ยฑ05%F*S. Do not completely immerse the sensor in water. Just measure the small round head of the split parts into the water and measure it. The top of probe is not waterproof.

Works fairly well in Computers & Accessories

Works fairly well for Arduino projects. I don't think it's lab quality. However, it is a fun tool for assessing water quality.

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Negative Impressions

seems to notice quite small differences in water purity

This sensor detects additive differences in liquids. I tested this sensor with tap water and coffee and found that the sensor actually returns different values. I've also found that a mixture of coffee and water gives readings between pure water and coffee, so this sensor is definitely changing based on the purity of the water. I found that the purer the water, the higher the reading, and the less pure it was, the lower the reading. I've also found that I get different readings when I slightlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Its detection range is 0%-3.5% (0-4550NTU) with an error range of ยฑ05%F*S.
Cons
  • Expensive

Very cool little sensor

I saw before buying that I can't submerge it in water so I'm not taking off a star for that. I think it can be hot glued, but I assume the sensor is generating enough heat that condensation could form. The sensor itself is awesome and tells you how "clean" the water is. I used the sample code posted by D. Porry (thanks D!) and it worked quickly. I bought it along with a TDS sensor to measure water contamination in the laser cutter cooling system. The two together seem like a great combinationโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The turbidity sensor for Arduino can detect the water quality by measuring the turbidity level
Cons
  • So far so good

Good sensor for general measurements

I tested this on an Arduino Uno with port A0. Connect the black wire to ground, the red wire to 5V and the yellow wire to A0. Here is a very simple program. void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { float value = AnalogRead(A0); Serial.println(value *(5.0/1024.0)); delay(1500);} The code is easy enough to write. Just read the port and multiply the value by 0.0049 (or 5.0/1024.0 for a 10-bit analog converter) to get the voltage. There is a switch to toggle between analog and digitalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Do not fully immerse the sensor in water. Just measure the small round head of the separated parts in the water and measure it. The top of the probe is not waterproof.
Cons
  • weak
