The 300 ohm is actually not required. It is included to ensure that the transistor base is never fully grounded, and thus it is never completely disabled or shut off. It also ensures that the current through the LDR can never exceed a certain minimum limit, no matter how bright the light...
The circuit is designed by using a transistor as a switch, to light the bulb in a bright environment and to turn it off in the dark and aLight-Dependent Resistor (LDR)in the potential divider. When the environment darkLDR’s resistancebecomes high. Then the transistor is switched OFF. When...
Also known as Light Dependent Resistors (LDR),photoresistorsare light-sensitive devices. They are most often used to indicate the presence or absence of light. In low light, the resistance is very high and drops dramatically when exposed to light. It is made of a high-resistance semiconductor ...
The circuit uses an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) as a light sensor, which, in simple terms, is a resistor whose value increases in darkness and decreases in the presence of light. Then it uses one transistor to detect the light, and another to drive the relay. When light falls on the...

2: Color Sensor Color sensors can detect and measure the visible color of an object. They typically use an array of photodiodes or phototransistors to sense the intensity of red, green, and blue light reflected or transmitted by an object. By analyzing the RGB (red, green, blue) values, ...
The CCD or CMOS image sensor that captures a photo in your digital camera or smartphone is a more sophisticated version of the same idea. In weaponry, some designs of proximity fuses use photoelectric cells to detect when missiles have reached the target. The missile fires out light (or ...
We can use a capacitor to measure the resistance of the pressure pad. This circuit is ideal if you need to know roughly how much pressure is being applied to the sensor. Connect one end of the pressure pad to 3v3. Place a 1uf capacitor onto the breadboard and have the negative end go...
1.1Discussing the use of Optocoupler using LDR/LED Construction I have explained how this can be done using the following procedures: To build this LED-LDR opto-coupler, you can use any standard 20-milliampere, 5-mm type LED; the color of the LED does not matter. ...
When LDR is exposed to light the voltage level starts increasing based on the intensity of the incident light. When the intensity of the light is at maximum level the voltage output will be reach maximum. You can replace the R1 with a Pot to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor.These type...
