Working of ldr controlled led using arduino.
Light intensity meter using ldr.
Light intensity meter using at89c52 microcontroller.
So the led does not light.
In order to detect the intensity of light or darkness we use a sensor called an ldr light dependent resistor.
As per the circuit diagram we have made a voltage divider circuit using ldr and 100k resistor.
The light sensor for a lux meter can be one of several different types of sensors including photodiodes and phototransistors but the easiest to use and often the most readily available type of sensor is a photoresistor or light dependent resistor ldr.
This basic light intensity meter circuit can be used in a wide range of electronic projects and experiments to calculate the light intensities.
Measuring light using light sensor.
This is an instructable on our class project about measuring light using a light sensor.
It s made up of such material whose conductivity varies as per light falls on it.
The voltage divider output is feed to the analog pin of the arduino.
The circuit utilizes an analog meter of 0 to 10 volts.
At the end of this instructable you will be able to build a working circuit and program an ldr light sensor to be able to read sunlight and print it on your com.
The circuit is very simple and convenient using only a few ldr variable resistor transistor and meter components.
Ldr are used most of times to detect presence of light or for measuring the intensity of light.
It works on the principle of photoconductivity.
Typically an ldr will have 1mω 2mω at total darkness 10 20kω at 10 lux 2 5kω at 100 lux.
There are different types of ldr as shown in above figure and each have different specifications.
We all know that ldr light dependent resistor can be used as one of the most suitable light intensity detector because of its working principle.
