Working of Smart Sun-Light Detection Using Arduino
LDR is a light-dependent resistor that changes its resistance when different amounts of light fall on it. Based on that it gives a analog value of resistance. Since, We can use light source like Sun or flash light As the LDR is connected to the analog input pin (A0) on Arduino, we can get the light intensity as the Arduino will calculate the LDR’s resistance, which is inversely proportional to light intensity.
From Arduino IDE serial monitor we can observe the sunlight intensity values .These value according to our logic if it crosses the threshold value which we given in code then the buzzer and the light will be turned on as they are both connected to the 13th digital pin of Arduino .This readings will be continuously taken from the LDR and process through the Arduino.
Smart SunLight detection using Arduino
In our daily technological advancements we should utilize the renewable sources like sun ,wind, water etc. Particularly for the solar energy the operations and applications are huge. For the applications of solar energy we should monitor and optimize the solar powered systems using these types of embedded systems. So in here we will use Arduino ,LDR in this embedded project .In the description below we will get a complete idea of how does this system works ,what are the major advantages, disadvantages ,How does each component works with detailed diagrams and simulations.
