keyestudio Light Sensor (LDR) Module

1. Introduction

This tutorial explains how to use an Arduino Light Sensor Module (LDR – Light Dependent Resistor). You will learn how to read ambient light levels, brightness detection.

2.Specifications

Parameter	Description
Operating Voltage	DC3.3–5V
Control Method	Arduino Analogue pin(A0-A5)
Output Range	0–1023 (analog reading)
Dimensions	Length：31.5 mm Width：23.5 mm

3.Required Materials

• Arduino Uno （Compatible with ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and others）

• keyestudio Light Sensor (LDR) Module

• Jumper wires

4.Wiring Instructions（Arduino UNO R3)

LDR Module Pin	Arduino Pin
VCC	5V
GND	GND
S	A0 (or any analog pin)

5.Sample Code

Read Light Intensity (Basic)

Prints raw analog values to the serial monitor.

int sensorPin = A0;  // LDR analog output pin
int sensorValue = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  Serial.println(sensorValue);  // 0–1023
  delay(300);
}

Experimental phenomena：

After uploading the code using the Arduino IDE, open the Serial Monitor. You will observe the values displayed in the Serial Monitor fluctuate in response to changes in light intensity. (You may cover the sensor area with your finger to simulate variations in light intensity.)
