HC-89 Interrupt Sensor

⚡ HC-89 Interrupt Sensor Module 
📌 Overview
The HC-89 Interrupt Sensor Module is a simple electronic module designed to detect external trigger signals and generate an interrupt output for microcontrollers.
👉 It is commonly used in:
🤖 Arduino/ESP projects
⏱ Event counting systems
🚨 Alarm and trigger systems
🧠 Working Principle
The module monitors an input signal (trigger pin)
When a change occurs (HIGH ↔ LOW), it generates a digital output
This output can be connected to a microcontroller interrupt pin
👉 Based on the concept of a Digital Signal (HIGH/LOW switching)
