PHOTOSENSITIVE SENSOR (2 pcs)

Description

Use this light sensor to convert light energy, also called photons, into an electrical signal for your next project.

This small module will detect light so you can use it as an input. The sesnistivity can easily be adjusted thanks to the on-board potentiometer. This way, the sensor can even detect faint, ambient light. There is also an on-board SMD LED that functions as an indicator, and it has an analog and digital output.

Features

• Broad voltage compatibility: This module operates reliably within a voltage range of 3 to 5 VDC, making it suitable for various electronic applications.
• Adjustable sensitivity: With a built-in potentiometer, you can easily adjust the sensitivity of the sensor, enabling it to detect even weak ambient light.
• Versatile applications: This module is versatile and suitable for various applications, from automation, home automation and robotics to environmental and industrial monitoring.
• STEM project: Develop and improve your STEM skills and acquire the knowledge, skills and experience needed to face the technological challenges of the future with this educational kit. This educational kit will trigger a number of processes such as problem-solving, investigative and creative thinking.
• Made in Belgium: Whadda is a unique brand from Belgium’s Velleman Group that offers DIY projects for hobbyists or makers who want to immerse themselves in electronics, programming and mechanics.
