Developed on the basis of photoelectric effect principle in semiconductor, Me Light Sensor can be used to detect the intensity of ambient light. Users can use it to make some light interactive projects, such as an intelligent dimming lamp, a laser communication system, and so on. Its black ID means that it has an analog signal port and needs to be connected to the port with black ID on Makeblock Orion.

Technical specifications

● Operating voltage: 5V DC
● Control mode: single analog port control
● Value of analog output: exposure to sunlight (>500),
evening (0~100), indoor lighting condition (100~500)
● Photosensitive wavelength range: 400nm~1100nm
● Module dimension: 51 x 24 x 22mm (L x W x H)

Functional characteristics

● Only sensitive to visible light, and need no additional filter
● White area of module is the reference area to contact metal beams
● Anti-reverse protection – connecting the power supply inversely will not damage IC
● Support mBlock GUI programming, and applicable to users of all ages
● Adopt RJ25 port for easy connection
● Provide pin-type port to support most development boards including Arduino series.

Shipped in resealable anti-static bag ideal for classroom use.
