Description

20mm LDR Sensor

LDR 20mm – Light Dependent Resistor Sensor is a resistor whose resistance decreases with increasing instance light intensity; in other words, it exhibits

Photoconductivity.

A photo-resistor is made of a high resistance semiconductor. If light falling on the device is of high enough frequency, photons absorb by the semiconductor give bound electrons enough energy to jump into the conduction band. The resulting free electron (and its hole partner) conduct electricity, thus lowering resistance. LDR(Light Dependent Resistor Sensor) also known as photoresistor is a resistor whose resistance varies with the amount of light falling on it. This is a small size LDR with a size of 4mm.

To use, connect one side of the photocell (either one, it’s symmetric) to power (for example 5V) and the other side to your microcontroller’s analog input pin. Then connect a 10K pull-down resistor from that analog pin to ground. The voltage on the pin will be 2.5V or higher when it’s light out and near the ground when its dark. This sensor can be use for making a light sensor, color sensor, object sensor, line sensor, etc.

An internal link is any link from one page on your website to another page on your website. Both your users and search engines use links to find content on your website. Your users use links to navigate through your site and to find the content they want to find. Search engines also use links to navigate your site. They won’t find a page if there are no links to it. There are several types of internal links. In addition to links on your homepage, menu, post feed, etc, you can also add links within your content. We call those contextual links. Contextual links point your users to interesting and related content.
