Auto Street Light

Aim

To control the street light using a light sensor.

Components required for the experiment

Arduino UNO Board, Breadboard, Resistors (1K Ohms and 220 Ohms), LED and LDR.

What is LDR and where it is used?

LDR stands for Light Dependent Resistor, which is a passive electronic component that changes its resistance based on the amount of light that falls on it. LDRs are used in a variety of applications, such as light sensors for automatic lighting controls, outdoor lighting controls, and photographic light meters. They can also be used in burglar alarms and other security systems to detect the presence or absence of light. LDRs are commonly found in consumer electronics products, such as cameras, smartphones, and digital displays.
