Boson: Light Sensor

This BOSON light sensor, based on the environmentally friendly PT550 photodiode, can be used to detect the intensity of the ambient light by converting optical signals to electrical signals with the photodiode. This ambient light measurement module simplifies environmental light detection for a wide variety of hardware logic and interactive logic projects.

Proportional Analog Output

This light sensing module features an analog voltage output that is directly proportional to the ambient light. This linear response allows developers to accurately quantify light intensity rather than merely detecting basic light/dark thresholds, making this PT550 photodiode sensor ideal for nuanced environmental monitoring and data collection tasks.

Broad Controller Compatibility

This analog light sensor works well with maincontrollers such as micro:bit and Arduino. Operating within a 3V-5V voltage range and utilizing a standard PH2.0-3P interface, this module is suitable for not only Mind+ and makecode graphical programming but also non-programming projects.

By bridging the gap between environmental light changes and electronic response, this sensor module brings intuitive physical interactivity to practical applications. From automated smart lighting systems and weather stations to interactive art installations, this light detector delivers reliable and continuous analog readings.
