5 FAQ

Q: Can I use this with a Raspberry Pi?

A: Yes, but you need an external ADC since Raspberry Pi GPIO pins do not support analog input natively.

Q: Is this output digital or analog?

A: This module provides an analog output voltage proportional to the light intensity detected.

Q: Is this sensor waterproof for outdoor use?

A: No, the component and PCB are not waterproof. You should house it in a protective enclosure for outdoor use.

Q: What is the light detection range?

A: It detects visible light roughly between 450nm to 650nm, peaking around green light at 570nm.

Q: What voltage should I supply to this module?

A: It operates between 2.7V and 5.5V. 5V is the standard supply voltage for most microcontroller projects.
