Light Sensor V1.2 LS06-S phototransistor Grove

The Light Sensor V1.2 LS06-S is a Grove module that measures ambient light with an LS06-S phototransistor. Its analog output voltage rises as the light gets brighter, so you can read light levels directly with an Arduino or other microcontroller analog input. The Grove connector plugs into a Grove Base Shield without soldering or breadboard wiring, which makes it ideal for classrooms and quick prototypes.

What's in the Box

• 1 × Grove Light Sensor V1.2 (LS06-S) module

Tip: Plug the module into an analog port such as A0 on a Grove Base Shield and read it with analogRead(). The reading is relative, not in lux, so set your on and off thresholds by testing in the real room or location.
