An electronic brick is an electronic module which can be assembled like Lego bricks simply by plugging in and pulling out. Compared to traditional universal boards and circuit modules assembled with various electronic components, electronic brick has standardized interfaces, plug and play, simplifying construction of prototype circuit on one’s own. There are many types of electronic bricks, and we provide more than twenty types with different functions including buttons, sensors, Bluetooth modules, etc, whose functions cover from sensor to motor drive, from Ethernet to wireless communication via Bluetooth, and so on. We will continue to add more types to meet the various needs of different projects.Electronic brick of light sensor is mainly used to detect the light intensity in the environment. The control board can get the current light intensity information via analog pins. Generally speaking, the resistance of photoresistor decreases with the increase of the light intensity. Features Plug and play, easy to use.Compatible with the mainstream 2.54 interfaces and 4-Pin Grove interfaces in the market.With use of M4 standard fixed holes, compatible with M4-standard kits such as Lego and Makeblock.With switch to shift between analog and digital output. Able to read the specific light intensity information (analog) or the over-bright or over-dark information according to the threshold (digital). The adjustable potentiometer is used to set the light intensity threshold. With hysteresis comparator circuit for more stable digital output voltage.Detecting direction can be rotated for better adaption Specifications Brick Type : Sensor BrickBrick Interface : 3PINBrick Power Supply : 5VLED Color : NoWeight : 20.00gPCB Size 36.0mm x 24.0mm x 1.6mmWorking voltage : 3.3 or 5V DCOperating voltage : 3.3 or 5V DCCompatible interfaces : 2.54 3-pin interface and 4-pin Grove interface(1)Note 1: D for digital output port, A for analog output port, S for analog/digital output port ( defined according to the switch), V and G for voltage at the common collector and ground respectivelyNote 2: When setting as analog output, output range is 0-3.3V or 0-5V according to the working voltage (V,G); when setting as digital output, output is 0/3.3V or 0/5V according to the working voltage (V,G).Electrical characteristicsWorking voltage : 2.1Vmin 5Vtyp 5.5Vmax VDCDigital output voltage(VCC=5V) : 0~5VWorking current(5V) : 5mAPhotoresistor(light intensity is 10lux) : 5~10kohmThreshold hysteresis deltaUth : VCCx0.09 Downloads Datasheet PDF File 532.67 KB Schematic PDF File 17.33 KB
