Here comes DFRobot\’s new Analog Ambient Light Sensor for Arduino or Raspberry Pi, with a brand new design and much more convenient to use. This sensor helps you to detect the light density and reflect the analog voltage signal back to the Arduino controller. You can set the threshold of voltage level to trigger other units on the Arduino project.We also use the enviromental PT550 light sensor and it is more sensitive to light than a normal one. Features Wide voltage range from 3.3V to 5V Standard assembling structure (two 3mm holes with multiple of 5cm (1.97\”) as interval) Easily recognitive interfaces of sensors (\”A\” for analog and \”D\” for digital) Icons to simplely illustrate sensor function High quality connector Immersion gold surface Connection Example – I/O Expansion Shield V7 Specifications Supply Voltage: 3.3V to 5V, compatible with Arduino / ESP32 / micro:bit / Raspberry Pi Illumination range: 1 Lux to 6000 Lux Responsive time: 15us Interface: Analog Supports graphical programming platforms such as Mind+ and MakeCode Size: 22 x 30mm Resources Product Wiki Schematic PT550 Datasheet Package Contents 1x Analog Ambient Light Sensor 1x Analog cable
