What is a Digital LDR Module?

A Digital LDR Module is a light sensor module that uses an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) along with a comparator circuit to provide a digital HIGH/LOW output based on light intensity.

Unlike analog LDR modules that give variable voltage output, digital LDR modules output either 0 (LOW) or 1 (HIGH) depending on whether the light level crosses a threshold.


Key Components:

  • LDR: Detects light intensity.
  • Comparator (LM393): Compares LDR voltage with a reference set using an onboard potentiometer.
  • Potentiometer: Adjusts the sensitivity (light threshold).
  • Indicator LED: Shows output state.
  • Output Pin: Provides digital signal (0/1) for microcontroller input.

How it Works:

1. Light falls on the LDR → its resistance changes:

      • Bright light → lower resistance → higher voltage at comparator input.
      • Low light → higher resistance → lower voltage at comparator input.

2. Comparator compares this voltage with the reference set by the potentiometer.

3. Output:

  • LOW (0): when light intensity is above the set threshold.
  • HIGH (1): when light intensity is below the set threshold.

4. Connect to Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi or any microcontroller to detect light/dark states for automation projects.

 

Typical Pinout:

  • VCC: +5V (or 3.3V on some modules).
  • GND: Ground.
  • DO: Digital output (0/1 based on light level).
