TEMT6000 Light Intensity Sensor Module for Arduino

1. Description

This EMT6000 light module is compatible with micro-controller

control board such as Arduino series micro-controllers.

This module is mainly composed of a highly sensitive visible

photocell (NPN type) triode, which can magnify the captured tiny

light by about 100 times, and is easily recognized by the

microcontroller for AD conversion.

What it responses to visible light is similar to human eyes, therefore;

it can detect the intensity of ambient light.

In addition, it comes with two positioning holes, which can be

installed on other devices.

. Parameters: Working voltage: 3.3-5V (DC) Current: 20MA Power: 0.1W Operating temperature: -10 degrees Celsius to +50 degrees Celsius Size: 31.6mmx23.7mm Interface: 3PIN interface Output signal: analog signal 3. Test Code int sensorPin =A0 ; //define the analog port A0 int value = 0; //set value to 0 void setup() { Serial.begin(9600);//set baud rate } void loop() { value = analogRead(sensorPin); //Set value to the read value of A0 Serial.println(value, DEC); //display value delay(100); //delay in 0.
