The KY-018 Photosensitive Resistor Sensor Module is designed to detect the intensity of light in the environment. Using a photosensitive resistor (LDR), the module measures the amount of light falling on it and outputs an analog signal that corresponds to the light intensity. This module is commonly used in light-sensitive applications such as automatic lighting control, sunlight detection, and environmental monitoring. It is easy to integrate with microcontrollers like Arduino for building interactive and responsive light-based systems.
- Light Sensitivity: Measures light intensity and provides an analog output signal based on the amount of light detected.
- Analog Output: Provides a continuous analog signal, making it ideal for precise light measurements and adjustments.
- Simple Integration: Easy to connect to microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for a variety of light-dependent projects.
- Compact Design: Small and lightweight, perfect for portable and space-constrained projects.
