Ambient Light Sensor

../../_images/light2.png

This is an ambient light sensor, it returns an analog value.

The range of return value is 0-1023, a higher value means a higher brightness reading.

Specification

• Voltage: 3.3V~5V

• Type: Analog Sensor

• Interface: 3Pin PH2.0

Wiring Diagram

This is an analog module, it can only use P0-P2.(Remove the buzzer jumper when P0 is in use.)
