Voltage Sensor Module 0-25V DC Overview
The Voltage Sensor Module 0-25V DC is a compact, reliable voltage measurement solution designed for hobbyists, students, and professionals. Using a precision voltage divider (5:1), the module scales input voltages up to 25V down to a 0-5V analog output that can be read by ADC inputs on development boards such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It is ideal for battery monitoring, power management, solar systems, robotics, and general voltage detection tasks.

Wiring and Integration (Arduino Example)
Connecting the module is straightforward:
- VCC -> 5V (or 3.3V if using 3.3V logic)
- GND -> Common ground with your microcontroller
- Signal -> Analog input (e.g., A0 on Arduino)
With the 5:1 divider, an input of 25V corresponds to approximately 5V on the Signal pin. Read the ADC value and scale it back to the actual voltage using the divider ratio (measured_voltage = adc_voltage * 5).
Installation Tips and Safety
- Always share a common ground between the voltage source and your microcontroller to ensure accurate readings.
- Do not exceed the 25V input rating to avoid damaging the module.
- For higher accuracy, perform a one-point or two-point calibration in software to compensate for wiring and ADC tolerances.
- Use proper isolation or filtering if measuring noisy power sources.
- Although the module includes overvoltage protection, avoid exposing it to sustained voltage spikes.
