EASY plug Photocell Sensor

Introduction

A photoresistor or light-dependent resistor (LDR) or photocell is a light-controlled variable resistor. The principal is very simple. The resistance of photoresistor varies with incident light intensity. If the incident light intensity is high, the resistance decreases; if the light intensity is low, the resistance increases.
keyestudio EASY Plug photocell sensor is a semiconductor, integrated with a photoresistor, easy to use and very convenient for wiring.
It has features of high sensitivity, quick response, spectral characteristic and R-value consistence.
It can be applied in light-sensitive detector circuits, intelligent switch design and light- and dark-activated switching circuits.
This module should be used together with EASY plug control board.

Special Note:
The sensor/module is equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface, compatible with our keyestudio EASY plug Control Board with RJ11 6P6C interface.
If you have the control board of other brands, it is also equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface but has different internal line sequence, can’t be used compatibly with our sensor/module.

Controlling light brightness

Hookup Guide
Connect the EASY Plug photocell sensor and LED module to control board using RJ11 cable.
thumb


Test Code
Below is an example code for three LED modules experiment.
thumb


What You Should See
The three LEDs are gradually brighter then gradually off one by one, circularly.
If it doesn’t, make sure you have assembled the circuit correctly and verified and uploaded the code to your board.
