Part of the M5Stack ecosystem of Grove-compatible sensor, actuator, and expansion boards, this module’s photoresistor changes resistance according to incident light, making it possible to sense light intensity with a simple analog-to-digital conversion performed by a Grove-compatible connected board such as M5Core. An onboard potentiometer allows for the sensitivity of the sensor to be adjusted.
