Intro: LDR Sensor Module Interface with Arduino
This tutorial teaches the basics on using LDR Sensor Module.
Step 1: Introduction
LDR sensor module is used to detect the intensity of light. It is associated with both analog output pin and digital output pin labelled as AO and DO respectively on the
board. When there is light, the resistance of LDR will become low according to the intensity of light. The greater the intensity of light, the lower the resistance of LDR. The
sensor has a potentiometer knob that can be adjusted to change the sensitivity of LDR towards light.
Specification:
Input Voltage: DC 3.3V to 5V
Output: Analog and Digital
Sensitivity adjustable
Step 2: Packaging List
The LDR sensor module comes with
LDR sensor board

Step 3: Pin Definition
Pin: VCC
Description: +3.3V~+5V
Function: Connect to +3.3V ~ +5V
Pin: GND
Description: 0V
Function: Connect to Ground
Pin: D0
Description: Digital Output
Function:
1. Output Signal: HIGH
There is enough intensity of light.
LED status: ON
2. Output Signal: LOW
There is not enough intensity of light.
LED status: OFF
Pin: A0
Description: Analog Output
Function: Analog output varies due to intensity of light.

Step 4: Hardware Installation
Step 5: Sample Source Code
void setup()
Serial.begin(9600);
void loop()
unsigned int AnalogValue;
AnalogValue = analogRead(A0);
Serial.println(AnalogValue);

Step 6: Result (1)
The reading shown on Serial Monitor when LDR sensor board is being exposed to sunlight.
Step 7: Result (2)
The reading shown on Serial Monitor when LDR sensor module is kept in a room with very little light /no light.
