How To Make A Dark Sensor On A Breadboard [HD]

  • A 'Dark Sensor' is a device which senses the presence of darkness. It senses the presence of darkness with the help of the LDR. Whenever light is focused on the LDR...the L.E.D will not glow. As soon as you cover the LDR or keep the dark sensor in a dark room without lights...the L.E.D will glow.
    It can also be called an "Automatic Street Light" Circuit since the L.E.D will come "on" after sunset i.e when it becomes dark and the L.E.D will turn "off" during sunrise because there's light! 💡
    Electronic Components Required:- LDR (Light Dependant Resistor), L.E.D (Light Emitting Diode), 100k ohm resistor, 9v battery with battery clip, BC547 Transistor, Breadboard and some wires.
    First connect all the elements on the breadboard to check if it works and then you can solder it to make it permanent. You can even attach a switch to the "Dark Sensor" to turn it "ON" and "OFF" when required.
    Steps of construction:-
    1.Connect the LDR to the 'base' and 'emitter' of the BC547 transistor.
    2.Then connect one end of the 100k ohm resistor from the 'base' of the BC547 transistor and the other end of the 100k ohm resistor to anode (+) side of the L.E.D.
    3.The cathode (-) side of the L.E.D will get connected to the 'collector' of the BC547 transistor.
    4.The positive (+) side of the battery will get connected to the 100k ohm resistor and anode (+) of the L.E.D while the negative (-) side of the battery will get connected to the 'emitter' of the BC547 transistor and the other end of the LDR.

    I am a beginner, at first it didn’t work but since I use arduino I realized it has to go from negative to positive because your using a battery and it worked!
    Edit: I mean like I didn’t realize I was putting it wrong I know it goes from negative to positive

    Even tried 2N222 but nothing.only 0.2 V diff.
    I used
    BC557 and changed the polarity accordingly
    Moreover my LDR works kinda weird
    It is 0.5 M Ohm in light
    And 0.3M Ohm in dark
    Is it possible??
    I even tested my multimeter and found it to be working correctly.

      Thamula - It may not actually be reverse. Try shining a bright flashlight on the LDR to see if that turns off the LED. If the LED turns off, you created the circuit correctly.
      I have tried SEVERAL “dark detector” circuits, and they ALL have this problem (at least for me). I am going to try a 100 K potentiometer in series with the 100 K resistor to see if I just need more resistance in the circuit.
      Please let me know if the flashlight turns off your LED. Good luck!

    • @thetooginator153
      @thetooginator153 3 роки тому +3

      Thumula - I replaced the 100K resistor with a 680K resistor, and now it works! The LED still has a VERY small illumination in a dimly-lit room, but the LED lights up perfectly in darkness. I may try a 1M resistor to see if that helps.
