Grove - LM358 Ambient Light Sensor v1.2

Module from the Grove series is equipped with a sensor LM358. The sensor allows to determine the intensity of the light and reflects the analog voltage signal back to Arduino. It is equipped with photoresistor which decreases its value along with increasing the light intensity. The range of the light is from 1 lux to 350 lux. The supply voltage is 5 V. The sensor communicates via an analog signal, making it compatible with most commissioning modules, including Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

Attention!

This product is only available in our market in Poland and cannot be sold to other countries.

The module is equipped with Grove interface facilitating its connection to the Arduino along with Base Shield v2.0 or Raspberry via Hat from GrovePi+.
