The Light Sensor module is an electronic component designed to detect the presence and intensity of light in the surrounding environment. In this quickstart guide, you'll learn how to connect a photoresistor to an Arduino board and read out the voltage. You will learn how the module works internally, how to wire it correctly, how to tune the sensitivity, and how to use it reliably. A light sensor is a photoelectric device that converts light energy (photons) detected to electrical energy (electrons). It comes in different types and is used in various applications! Hence, in today's light sensor guide. In this beginner-friendly Arduino light sensor project, you will learn how to use a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR).
