Light sensor module

Light sensor moduleUUGear Light sensor module 4 wire, with both digital and analog output. This is a very small (14 x 26 x 8mm), breadboard friendly light sensor module. It could be used to detect the light intensity. The PCB surface is finished with electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) process and is RoHs lead free. There are 4 pins available: G, V, D and A pins. The digital output pin (D) stays on high voltage level, until the light intensity exceed the threshold.

UUGear - Light sensor module

4-wire, with both digital and analog output.

This is a very small (14 x 26 x 8mm), breadboard friendly light sensor module. It could be used to detect the light intensity. The PCB surface is finished with electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) process and is RoHs lead-free.

There are 4 pins available: G, V, D and A pins.

The digital output pin (D) stays on high voltage level, until the light intensity exceed the threshold. Monitoring the digital output pin (D) could know the environment is bright or dark. Adjusting the potentiometer in blue can change the sensitivity of the module, rotating it clock wise will make the module more sensitive.

The analog output pin (A) can output the voltage that indicates the light intensity of the environment. The darker the environment is, the higher voltage will be output.

There are two LEDs on board, the red LED is power indicator while the blue LED is the digital output indicator. The voltage comparator is LM393, which has very good performance and reliability.
