Lilypad Light Sensor TEMT6000
The Lilypad Light Sensor Board is specifically designed for wearable and portable electronics projects. It uses an analog light sensor (TEMT6000) that outputs a voltage between 0 and 5V depending on the ambient light intensity. This makes it perfect for detecting light levels in environments where flexible, washable, and wearable sensing is required.
The sensor voltage output is inversely proportional to light intensity: it outputs close to 0 volts in darkness and approaches 5 volts in bright daylight. This analog output can be easily read by any microcontroller with an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), such as Arduino or Lilypad boards.
The Lilypad Light Sensor is designed to be sewn into fabric using conductive threads, allowing integration into clothing or accessories for smart textiles, interactive garments, or wearable art projects. Its small, round form factor with a diameter of 22mm ensures comfort and minimal interference with the garment's flexibility.
