Light Sensor Using Arduino - Paper Presentation

This document describes a light sensor project using an Arduino board. It lists the components needed, including an Arduino UNO, LED, LDR light dependent resistor, breadboard, resistors and battery. It provides a schematic and steps to connect the LDR to read light levels and control an LED. When it's dark the LDR resistance is high, when light the resistance is low. The system works by sensing light intensity with the LDR. It can automate street lights and save energy while increasing safety.

SCHEMATIC REPRESENTATION
CONSTRUCTION
Connections for LDR
 Connect the 3.3V of Arduino to the positive rail and ground

to the negative rail of breadboard.

 Place the LDR on the breadboard and attach the 10k ohm
resistor to one of the legs of LDR.

 Connect the A0 pin of Arduino to the same column of resistor


and LDR.

 Connect the other end of resistor to the negative rail of


breadboard.

 Connect the other end of LDR to the positive rail of breadboard


LDR CONNECTION
Connections for LED

 Place LED on breadboard and connect positive


end of LED to the 220ohm resistor.

 Connect the other end of resistor to the pin 13 of


Arduino.

 Connect the negative end of LED to the negative


rail of breadboard.
CONNECTION TO LED
WORKING
 How its Work?

 This system works by sensing the intensity of


light in its environment.

 The sensor that can be used to detect light is


an LDR.

 LDR whose resistance decreases as the


amount of light falling on it increases.
 When it is dark, the resistance of a
photoresistor may be as high as a few MΩ.
 When it is light, however, the resistance of a
photoresistor may be as low .
WORKING
FLOW CHART
APPLICATIONS
 The wastage of unused electricity can be
reduced, lifetime of the streetlights gets
enhanced.

 Because the lights do not stay ON during the


whole night.

 Helps to increase safety measurements.


CONLUSION
 By using this process we can save energy.

 It can be used for automating street light


systems.

 This work is useful in the area of security


usage, Industries and in automation.
