The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) Sensor Module is a simple and widely used sensor for detecting ambient light levels. It consists of an LDR, a resistor, and additional circuitry to provide easy interfacing with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The sensor is often used in various applications where light intensity needs to be measured or monitored.

Module with photoresistor for Arduino. It is controlled by a digital signal, it is powered with the voltage from 3.3 V to 5 V. On board placed was a potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity of photoresistor.

Pinout

• VCC (Power): Connects to 5V or 3.3V (depending on your microcontroller).
