Microduino-Lightness

The product number of Sensor-Light-A1 is: MSDT42

Sensor-Light-A1 is a photosensitive brightness detection sensor module.

The light sensor transforms the light signal into electric signal with the photosensitive resistance. Its sensitive wavelength is near that of the visible light, including the infrared and the ultraviolet.

Description of the Sensor Pin

Pins of the sensor: PIN1: GND PIN2: VCC General signal pins: PIN3(IO1): digital/analog signal PIN4(IO2): NC(null) Special signal pins: If it is IIC: IO1/IO2 are respectively SDA/SCL. If it is soft serial port: IO1/IO2 are respectively tx/rx.

Special to Sensor-Light-A1 sensor pins PIN1: GND PIN2: VCC PIN3(IO1): Analog signal input PIN4(IO2): NC Microduino sensor can communicate with core module through the connection with Microduino-Module Sensor Hub.
