Illum sensor

Overview

This sample reads the value of the illuminance sensor on the 4-Sensors leaf and displays it on the serial monitor.

Leaf to use

Use the following leaves.

Type Name Q’ty
AZ62 Connector Cover 1
AI01 4-Sensors 1
AZ01 USB 1
AP01 AVR MCU 1
AV01 CR2032 1
CR2032 coin cell battery 1
M2*15mm screw 2

Assembly

Let’s assemble leaves as shown in the figure below.

Execution Results

Open the serial monitor of the Arduino IDE and set the baud rate to 115200 bps and you will see the illuminance.
