Detailed Description

Deprecated:: This class is being replaced by the upm-light library and the Light class.

ID: grovelight
Name: Light Sensor
Category: light
Manufacturer: seeed
Connection: analog
Kit: gsk

The Grove light sensor detects the intensity of the ambient light. As the light intensity of the environment increases, the resistance of the sensor decreases. This means the raw value from the analog pin is larger in bright light and smaller in the dark. An approximate lux value can also be returned.

    // Create the light sensor object using AIO pin 0
    upm::GroveLight light(0);
    // Read the input and print both the raw value and a rough lux value,
    // waiting one second between readings
    while (1) {
        std::cout << light.name() << " raw value is " << light.raw_value() << ", which is roughly "
                  << light.value() << " lux" << std::endl;
        upm_delay(1);
    }
    // Delete the light sensor object
