readLightSensor()
Description
Reads the intensity of light hitting the light sensor as a 10-bit number. This means that it will map input voltages between 0 and 5 volts into integer values between 0 and 1023. This yields a resolution between readings of: 5 volts / 1024 units or, .0049 volts (4.9 mV) per unit.
Syntax
Esplora.readLightSensor()
Parameters
none
Returns
int : The amount of light hitting the sensor, mapped to a value between 0 and 1023.
Example
#include <Esplora.h>
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
int value = Esplora.readLightSensor();
Serial.println(value);
delay(1000);
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
int value = Esplora.readLightSensor();
Serial.println(value);
delay(1000);
}
