Description:
The Voltage Sensor Module DC 0-25V is a small electronic module designed to measure DC voltage in the range of 0-25V with an accuracy of ±0.5%. The module has a voltage divider circuit that consists of two resistors. The input voltage is divided by the resistors to a level that can be measured by an analog input pin of a microcontroller or an ADC. The output voltage range of the module is 0-5V, which can be used with a microcontroller or an ADC that has a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter. The module has three pins, VCC, GND, and OUT, which can be connected to a microcontroller or an ADC. The VCC pin should be connected to a DC voltage supply in the range of 3.3V to 5V, and the GND pin should be connected to the ground of the circuit. The OUT pin provides an analog output signal that is proportional to the input voltage. The module also has a power LED that indicates when the module is powered on. The Voltage Sensor Module DC 0-25V is commonly used in battery monitoring, DC motor control, and other low-voltage DC applications where accurate voltage measurement is required. The module can be easily integrated into a circuit and can be used with a wide range of microcontrollers and ADCs. The small size of the module makes it ideal for use in applications where space is limited.

Principle of Work:Â
The module has a simple circuit design consisting of two resistors connected in series to form a voltage divider. The input voltage is applied across the two resistors, and the voltage across the second resistor is used as the output voltage. The output voltage is proportional to the input voltage and is calculated using the voltage divider formula:
Output voltage = (R2 / (R1 + R2)) x Input voltage
Where R1 and R2 are the resistances of the two resistors in the voltage divider circuit.
The module provides an analog output signal that is proportional to the input voltage. The output voltage range is typically 0-5V, which is suitable for use with microcontrollers or ADCs that have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter. The module's simple circuit design and analog output make it easy to integrate with other electronics projects and systems that require DC voltage measurement.

Code:Â
code for monitoring the voltage of a 9V battery using the Voltage Sensor Module DC 0-25V and Arduino:
int sensorPin = A0;
float voltage;
float threshold = 7.5; // Threshold voltage for low battery warning
bool isLow = false; // Flag for low battery status
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// Read the sensor value
int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
// Convert the sensor value to voltage
voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0) * 5.0;
// Print the voltage value to the serial monitor
Serial.print("Voltage: ");
Serial.print(voltage);
Serial.println("V");
// Check if the voltage is below the threshold and set the low battery flag
if (voltage < threshold && !isLow) {
isLow = true;
Serial.println("Low battery warning!");
}
else if (voltage >= threshold && isLow) {
isLow = false;
Serial.println("Battery is OK now.");
}
delay(1000);
}
This code reads the analog voltage value from the module on pin A0, converts it to voltage, and prints it to the serial monitor every second. It also checks if the voltage is below a certain threshold (in this case, 7.5V), and if so, sets a flag and prints a low battery warning to the serial monitor. When the voltage is above the threshold again, it resets the flag and prints a message indicating that the battery is OK.
You can interact with the program by changing the threshold
 value to set your own low battery warning threshold, or by changing the delay
 value to adjust how frequently the voltage value is read and printed to the serial monitor. You can also add more interactive features, such as setting an LED to turn on when the battery is low or sending a notification to your phone using a Wi-Fi module.
