Keyestudio Micro bit Honeycomb Photoresistor for BBC Micro Bit

The Keyestudio Micro bit Honeycomb Photoresistor is an easy-to-use light sensor designed for seamless integration with the BBC micro:bit. It is ideal for students, educators, and young makers learning about environmental sensing and analogue inputs. This compact module allows you to build responsive projects that react to changes in ambient light.

Easy crocodile clip connection

The honeycomb-shaped board features six sockets for quick connection to your BBC micro:bit using standard crocodile clips. It includes two ground, two VCC, and two signal ports for straightforward and secure wiring.

Analogue light intensity detection

Built around a sensitive photoresistor, this module measures ambient light levels by changing its resistance. The micro:bit reads this as an analogue value, which increases in bright light and decreases in darker environments.

Compact and lightweight form factor

Measuring just 30mm by 27mm by 5mm and weighing a mere 2.0g, this compact sensor is easy to integrate into wearable projects or small robotic chassis. It is also ROHS compliant, meeting environmental safety standards.

Low power operating specifications

Operating on a DC voltage of 3V to 5V, the sensor draws a working current of 60mA with a maximum power consumption of 300mW. It performs reliably in temperatures ranging from -25 degrees Celsius up to 65 degrees Celsius.
