Simple Light Sensor - Overview
Simple light sensor
The simple light sensor breakout board is a precise sensor that detects the presence and intensity of ambient light. This sensor features a light-dependent resistor (LDR) that detects light. This sensor is also available in a version with I2C communication, with a default address of 0x30, and is designed for seamless Qwiic (formerly easyC) connectivity—eliminating the need for soldering.
