LilyPad Light Sensor

The LilyPad Light Sensor is a unique product that offers an ALS-PT19 light sensor embedded on a sewable breakout board. The sensor provides voltage output between 0V and 3.3V, which varies according to the intensity of the ambient light. The more light the sensor is exposed to, the higher the current that flows from the board to the connected microcontroller. This sensor doesn't allow any current flow in the absence of light. It is designed to output approximately 1 to 2V in standard indoor lighting conditions. This board is a perfect addition to your next e-textile or wearable project, offering the ability to sense light levels.

LilyPad is an innovative e-textile technology, the brainchild of Leah Buechley and a joint design effort with SparkFun. Each LilyPad is ingeniously designed with large connecting pads, making them easy to sew into clothing. The range includes various input, output, power, and sensor boards. The best part? They're washable!

A portion of the proceeds from this sale goes to Dr. Leah Buechley, contributing to the ongoing development and education in the field of e-textiles.

The LilyPad Light Sensor is easy to use and provides a host of features:

• The outer diameter of the sensor is 20mm.
• The PCB is thin, measuring only 0.8mm.
