@almostengr: just because it accepts 5v doesn't Mean it will output 5v. each sensor is different and it is best that you check what the specifications are before connecting the sensors to the Raspberry Pi #raspberrypi #electronics #arduino @learn.to.code.with.ali @Sadam Hu
Yes to specification sheet, but assuming you dont have access to one, could you use a multimeter to test?

Sadam Hu :
thank you Kenny. I'm wanting to drive led lights and other sensors with a raspberry pi eventually. haha I'm worried about blowing it up since they are expensive in New Zealand

I optoisolate my 5v to 3v because I just don't want to think about it.
