DFRobot Gravity Analog Ambient Light Sensor (1-6000 Lux) Compatible With Arduino, ESP32, micro:bit, and Raspberry Pi

DFRobot’s new Analog Ambient Light Sensor for Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Brand new design and much more convenient to use. This sensor helps you to detect the light density and reflect the analog voltage signal to the Arduino controller. You can set the threshold of voltage level to trigger other units on the Arduino project.

We also use the environmental PT550 light sensor which is more sensitive to light than the normal one. Place check following improvement we made. We always devote ourselves to bringing a better user experience.

To ease the difficulty of using this light sensor,  a Gravity Interface is adapted to allow plug-and-play.  The IO sensor shield is the best match for this sound sensor connecting to your Arduino. This sensor can work at 3.3V which makes it compatible with Raspberry Pi, Intel Edison, Joule, and Curie.

Projects:

Project 1. micro: bit Surprise box
Introduction: In this project, shows how the box interacts with flashing hearts.

Project 2. Hyduino - Automated Hydroponics with an Arduino
Introduction: hydroponics is growing plants without the use of a traditional dirt medium by using a nutrient-rich water solution. This is especially great for those people who have limited areas in their backyard to grow in.

Project 3: Environmental Monitoring System Based on OBLOQ-IoT Module
Introduction: This product is mainly applied in electronic laboratories to monitor and control indicators such as temperature, humidity, light, and dust, and timely upload them to the cloud data space to achieve remote monitoring and control of dehumidifiers, air purifier, exhaust fan, and dimmable light, etc. in the laboratory.

Project 4: micro: bit Laser Target

Introduction: The ambient light sensor sensor detects the intensity of the laser pointer. If it is greater than 400, it will sound the buzzer and the servo will make the target fall and up. The game is over when it reaches 10. Press A to reset the score to 0.

Project 5. I_NEED_SPOTLIGHT
Introduction: By following this project, will help to make a toy BIRD. The BIRD will start to perform when the light turns on.

Package Included:

• 1 x Analog Ambient Light Sensor
• 1 x Analog cable
