What type of light sensor is integrated in the mCore?

#1

Hello,

Do you know, what type of light sensor is integrated in the mCore board? I can’t find the information nowhere, does it use a photo diode or a light dependent sensor?

Thank you!

It is light dependent sensor. Here attached mCore schematic, the red box is light sensor.

It’s a typical photosensor. Here’s a link to that on Adafruit. I found a great breakdown of the mCore board here.

Does it have the same characteristics than the ME Light sensor?

The light sensors are pretty much the same, especially with regard to Arduino code. It would be helpful if @tech_support could provide a data sheet, but the blog article calls it out as a pretty standard sensor. I just looked through the source code in the official Makeblock Arduino libraries (link) and essentially you get methods to do analog reads/writes and the ability to turn on an LED if it is present.

I am afraid there is no English version data sheet. I sent you some parameters of our light sensor on mCore.

Thanks, the information is very helpful (at least to me). :slight_smile:

Thank you so much!

Is there any place where I can see the sensitivity and the frequency response of that sensor?

Sorry, I have no much idea of that.
