Grove_LightSensor

Ambient light sensor.

wired(obniz, {[signal, vcc, gnd, grove]});

connect to the obniz device.
yellow, red and black wires correspond to signal, vcc and gnd respectively.

name type required default description
vcc number(obniz Board io) no   Power Supply
gnd number(obniz Board io) no   Power Supply
signal number(obniz Board iov) no   signal output pin
grove object no   grove interface object if a device has
// Javascript Example
let sensor = obniz.wired("Grove_LightSensor", {gnd:0, vcc:1, signal: 3});

If the device has a grove interface, it can be connected with just the parameter {grove: obniz.grove0}.

// Javascript Example
let sensor = obniz.wired("Grove_LightSensor", {grove: obniz.grove0});

This sensor is a three-terminal photo resistor. When a voltage is applied to vcc and gnd, it generates a voltage according to the brightness.
By using a resistor, the change in the voltage can be read.

onchange = function(value)

Change callback of brightness change.
It's value range is 0 to vcc.
value will increase by brightness.

// Javascript Example
let sensor = obniz.wired("Grove_LightSensor", {grove: obniz.grove0});
sensor.onchange = function(value) {
  console.log(value);
}

[await] getWait()

Get brightness only once.

// Javascript Example
let sensor = obniz.wired("Grove_LightSensor", {grove: obniz.grove0});
const value = await sensor.getWait();
console.log(value);
