UsageBasic FunctionalityThe Light Sensor is an analog input sensor. It is able to detect light levels by using a photoresistor. A photoresistor is sensitive to the amount of light and changes its resistance based on light levels. When used in a voltage divider, different voltage levels will be produced based on the amount of light. A Core module can read the voltage value.
ProgrammingIntroductionThe Light Sensor is used as an analog input pin. Therefore, the pinMode and analogRead functions will be used. Key Functions
ExampleThis is a simple example which outputs the state of the Light Sensor to the serial port terminal. Note: Important lines of code are highlighted. //Define the pin the sensor is connected to
//Note: This sensor uses analog read, which means only pins denoted with an 'A' prefix will work.
const int LIGHT_SENSOR_PIN = A0;
void setup(){
// put your setup code here, to run once:
//Initial serial communication port at 9600 baud
Serial.begin(9600);
//Configure the pin into input mode
pinMode(LIGHT_SENSOR_PIN, INPUT);
}
void loop(){
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
//Perform a digital read and store the value into pin_state variable
int pin_value = analogRead(LIGHT_SENSOR_PIN);
//Print out the current value of the sensor
Serial.println(pin_value);
//delay 10ms between loops
delay(10);
