# Dust Sensor Adapter

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** DFR0280 · **Brand:** [DFRobot](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/dfrobot-australia)

Sharp GP2Y1010AU Dust Sensor requires some wiring on the breadboard and a list of components to make it Arduino compatible. This has turned down several people due to the thin wires of the sharp sensor making it yet another addition to the drawer. We've listened your requests and created this adapter so you can get started right away on your project.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $6.65 (inc GST) — $6.05 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $5.75 (exc GST) · 12+ $5.50 (exc GST)

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR0280:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR0280:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)
