There is more to a light sensor than just its definition. It comes in different types and is used in various applications. This project provides a foundation for home lighting design, whether adjusting brightness levels in work areas or creating a cozy atmosphere in bedrooms, making it a practical tool. It measures the ambient light level of your surroundings and determines the suitable brightness of your screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DL2408Mk05<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 x UNIHIKER<br \/>\n1 x USB Battery Pack<br \/>\n1 x USB 3.1 Cable A to C<\/p>\n<p><strong>DL2408Mk05p<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DL2408Mk05p.py<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"python\" data-enlighter-title=\"\">\r\n&quot;&quot;&quot;\r\n****** Don Luc Electronics \u00a9 ******\r\nSoftware Version Information\r\nProject #30 - UNIHIKER - Ambient Light Sensor - Mk02\r\n30-02\r\nDL2408Mk05.py\r\nDL2408Mk05\r\n1 x UNIHIKER\r\n1 x USB Battery Pack\r\n1 x USB 3.1 Cable A to C\r\n\r\n-*- coding: utf-8 -*-\r\n&quot;&quot;&quot;\r\n# Import the unihiker library\r\nfrom unihiker import GUI\r\n\r\n# Import the time library\r\nimport time\r\n\r\n# Import the Board module from the pinpong.board package \r\nfrom pinpong.board import Board\r\n\r\n# Import all modules from the pinpong.extension.unihiker package\r\nfrom pinpong.extension.unihiker import *\r\n\r\n# Initialize the board by selecting the board type and port number;\r\n# if not specified, the program will automatically detect it\r\nBoard().begin()\r\n\r\n# Instantiate the GUI class and create a gui object\r\ngui = GUI()\r\n\r\n# Display the initial background image &#039;dlemk02&#039;\r\nimg = gui.draw_image(x=0, y=0, w=240, h=320, image=&#039;DL2408Mk05p.png&#039;)\r\n\r\n# Ambient Light Sensor\r\n# Display the initial Ambient Light Sensor valueLight\r\nvalueLight = gui.draw_text(x=30, y=151, text=&#039;0&#039;, font_size=18)\r\n\r\nwhile True:\r\n    \r\n    # Ambient Light Sensor\r\n    # Read the light value\r\n    AmbientLightSensor = light.read()\r\n    # Update the displayed light value\r\n    valueLight.config(text=AmbientLightSensor)\r\n\r\n    # Delay for 1 second to keep the screen content displayed for a longer time\r\n    time.sleep(1)\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>People can contact us:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.donluc.com\/?page_id=1927<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teacher, Instructor, E-Mentor, R&#038;D and Consulting<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Programming Language<\/li>\n<li>Single-Board Microcontrollers (PIC, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Arm, Silicon Labs, Espressif, Etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>IoT<\/li>\n<li>Wireless (Radio Frequency, Bluetooth, WiFi, Etc&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Robotics<\/li>\n<li>Automation<\/li>\n<li>Camera and Video Capture Receiver Stationary, Wheel\/Tank and Underwater Vehicle<\/li>\n<li>Unmanned Vehicles Terrestrial and Marine<\/li>\n<li>Machine Learning<\/li>\n<li>Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/li>\n<li>RTOS<\/li>\n<li>Sensors, eHealth Sensors, Biosensor, and Biometric<\/li>\n<li>Research &#038; Development (R &#038; D)<\/li>\n<li>Consulting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Follow Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Luc Paquin \u2013 Curriculum Vitae &#8211; 2024<\/strong><br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.donluc.com\/luc\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>Web:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.donluc.com\/<br \/>\n<strong>Facebook:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/neosteam.labs.9\/<br \/>\n<strong>YouTube:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@thesass2063<br \/>\n<strong>Twitter:<\/strong> https:\/\/twitter.com\/labs_steam<br \/>\n<strong>Pinterest:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/NeoSteamLabs\/<br \/>\n<strong>Instagram:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/neosteamlabs\/<br \/>\n<strong>DFRobot Luc.Paquin:<\/strong> https:\/\/edu.dfrobot.com\/dashboard\/makelogs<br \/>\n<strong>Hackster.io:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.hackster.io\/neosteam-labs<br \/>\n<strong>LinkedIn:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jlucpaquin\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don Luc<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8212;&#8212; #DonLucElectronics #DonLuc #UNIHIKER #Display #IoT #Project #Debian #Python #Thonny #Programming #Electronics #Microcontrollers #Consultant &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; UNIHIKER Ambient Light Sensor A light sensor is a photoelectric device that converts light energy (Photons) detected to electrical energy (Electrons).
