Overview
The resistance of photoresistor decreases when the intensity of light increases. A dual OpAmp chip LM358 on board produces voltage corresponding to intensity of light(i.e. based on resistance value). The output signal is an analog value, the brighter the light is, the larger the value.
This module can be used to build a light controlled switch i.e. switch off lights during day time and switch on lights during night time.
Warning!: The light sensor value only reflects an approximated trend of light intensity, it DOES NOT represent the exact Lumen count.
Features
- Analog value output
- High reliability and sensibility
- Small footprint

This project aims to calculate PPM (Parts Per Million) using 15 different gas sensors, each with individually created slopes. You don't need to worry about calibration; the process is fully automated by the library. The multi-gas sensor system is highly flexible with its plug-and-play feature and adjustable structure, enabling users to easily select the desired gas sensor.
