The Gravity Analog Ambient Light Sensor provides a reliable way to detect light intensity and output an analog voltage signal proportional to the illumination level. It's ideal for light-sensitive applications such as environmental monitoring, automatic lighting, and DIY electronics projects.

Compatible with popular platforms like Arduino, ESP32, micro:bit, RP2040, and Raspberry Pi (with external ADC), this sensor operates in a wide voltage range of 3.3V to 5V. With plug-and-play Gravity interface and an optional Gravity IO expansion shield, it’s extremely easy to integrate and deploy.
