INDOOR SOLAR CELLS OPTIMISED TO CONVERT AMBIENT INDOOR LIGHT TO ELECTRICITY

INDOOR SOLAR CELLS OPTIMISED TO CONVERT AMBIENT INDOOR LIGHT TO ELECTRICITY

Swedish and Chinese scientists have developed organic solar cells optimised to convert ambient indoor light to electricity. The power they produce is low, but is probably enough to feed the millions of products that the internet of things will bring online. For more information see the IDTechEx report on Energy Harvesting Microwatt to Megawatt 2019-2029.  As the internet of things

Open Grow Light

Exactly a year ago (February 2020), James’ wife wanted to expand her plant growing setup in the house. This included a bigger, larger, taller plant growing area AND the need for more lighting. BINGO! The seed for the Idea was planted. After an exhaustive market research, not able to find the product that we had

Light Sensor Photoresistor With Arduino in Tinkercad

Light Sensor (Photoresistor) With Arduino in Tinkercad

Let’s learn how to read a photoresistor, a light-sensitive type of variable resistor, using Arduino’s Analog Input. It’s also called an LDR (light-dependent resistor). So far you’ve already learned to control LEDs with Arduino’s analog output, and to read a potentiometer, which is another type of variable resistor, so we’ll build on those skills in this lesson.
