Because there is a semiconductor/chip inside the sensor, it must be powered with 5V to function. Contrast this to photocells and FSRs where they act like resistors and thus can be simply tested with a multimeter. | Because there is a semiconductor/chip inside the sensor, it must be powered with 5V to function.
