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.
Note: this module should be used together with EASY plug control board.
Specification
- Interface: Easy plug
- Sensor type: analog
- Working voltage: 5V
- Quick response
Technical Details
- Dimensions: 38mm*20mm*18mm
- Weight: 4.3g
Connect It Up
Connect the EASY Plug photocell sensor to control board using an RJ11 cable. Then connect the control board to your PC with a USB cable.
Upload the Code
Copy and paste below code to Arduino IDE and upload.
int sensorPin =A2 ;
int value = 0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); }
void loop()
{
value = analogRead(sensorPin);
Serial.println(value, DEC);
delay(50);
}
What You Should See
Done uploading the code, you should see the analog value change in accordance with how much light your photoresistor is sensing.
