Match the controller, batteries, and tools to your setup.
Read the assembly and coding guide before your first build.
Make a compatible project respond when its surroundings become brighter or darker.
Functions
- Compare changing light levels.
- Create a threshold-based lighting response.
- Explore sensor readings through a simple program.
Components & hardware
One light-sensing module in its block-compatible housing with the selected module connection cable. Controller and expansion board are separate.
Technology
Photosensitive measurement through a supported plug-in sensor interface.
How it works
The sensing element changes its electrical response as light changes. The controller reads that value and compares it with a threshold to decide when to activate another output.
Specifications
- Kit type: Robot Sensor Module.
- Control and interfaces: Photosensitive measurement through a supported plug-in sensor interface.
- Selected option: Light sensor only — expansion board excluded.
What's included
Selected configuration and described hardware: Light sensor only — expansion board excluded. One light-sensing module in its block-compatible housing with the selected module connection cable. Controller and expansion board are separate.
Exact quantities and minor accessories should be checked against the supplier's packing list before ordering.
Suggested skill level
Intermediate — check compatibility and wiring before use.
Project ideas
- Build a dusk-triggered light.
- Compare daytime and nighttime readings.
Before you build
Controller and expansion board excluded. Match voltage, PH2.0 pinout and library. Calibrate for your environment; do not assume the output is an absolute lux measurement.
