Quick Overview

This 4-piece digital LDR light sensor module set features adjustable threshold sensitivity via built-in potentiometer and dual output modes (digital and analog) for versatile light detection applications. Perfect for automatic lighting control, day/night detection, and ambient light monitoring.

The digital output (DO) provides HIGH/LOW signals based on adjustable threshold, while the analog output (AO) gives continuous light intensity readings. Compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

Key Features

  • Dual Output Modes: Digital (HIGH/LOW) and Analog (continuous) outputs
  • Adjustable Threshold: Built-in potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment
  • 4-Piece Set: Multiple sensors for various projects
  • Digital Output (DO): LOW when bright (above threshold), HIGH when dim
  • Analog Output (AO): Lower values = brighter light, higher values = dimmer light
  • Wide Voltage Range: 3.3-5V DC operation
  • LED Indicator: Shows digital output state
