Photoresistor LDR Light Sensor Module – LM393 Comparator for Arduino, ESP32 & Raspberry Pi
The LDR Light Sensor Module uses a photoresistor (Light Dependent Resistor) paired with an LM393 voltage comparator to detect ambient light levels. It provides both analog (AO) and digital (DO) output signals, with an onboard potentiometer for adjustable light threshold sensitivity.
Key Specifications
- Sensor: Photoresistor (LDR)
- Comparator IC: LM393
- Output: Analog (AO) + Digital (DO)
- Operating Voltage: 3.3V – 5V DC
- Threshold Adjustment: Onboard potentiometer
- Indicator LEDs: Power and output status LEDs
- Connector: 4-pin (VCC, GND, DO, AO)
Compatibility & Use Cases
This module is fully compatible with Arduino, ESP32, NodeMCU, and Raspberry Pi via both analog and digital GPIO pins. Common applications include:
- Automatic street light and night-light control circuits
- Day/night detection for IoT home automation
- Light-activated relay and alarm systems
- Solar tracker and sun-following robot projects
- STEM and educational light-sensing experiments
Connect AO to an ADC pin for proportional light readings, or use DO for simple light/dark threshold switching without any ADC.
