Perfect for automation
Used this to trigger a relay when dark. Very responsive and easy to calibrate with the potentiometer.

Reliable performance
Stable output, no flickering around the threshold. Used it in a robot line follower variant.

Good starter sensor
Easy to wire but instructions could be clearer. Works well once you understand the digital output.
Q: Is this analog or digital output?
A: This module provides a digital switch output (TTL). It goes high or low based on the light threshold set by the potentiometer.
Q: Can I connect this directly to 5V?
A: Yes, the operating voltage range is 3.3V to 5V DC, so 5V logic systems are fully supported.
Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi GPIO?
A: Yes, it is compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins. Ensure you connect the VCC to 3.3V or 5V accordingly.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?
A: Use the blue potentiometer on the board. Turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the light intensity threshold.
Q: Is this waterproof for outdoor use?
A: No, this is an indoor electronic component. It should be housed in a waterproof enclosure if used outdoors.
