Who think LEDs Are simple?

Hi,
This is my first Topic in this community :slight_smile: Today i wanna explain some thing about Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

Theory:
A Light emitting diode (LED) is essentially a pn junction diode. When carriers are
injected across a forward-biased junction, it emits incoherent light. Most of the
commercial LEDs are realized using a highly doped n and a p Junction.

=>Generally LED is simple , but if we add just Arduino Uno3
without any electronic component we can use it for security for example when it’s detect light in dark , turn on alarm :smiling_imp: i was use it in school :sweat_smile: in my cell :sweat_smile: … anyway we can use this idea in much. it will work like Ultrasonic send waves and if a object in domain waves, will turn on alarm

But the problem, we know LEDs
just output Light not input Light by diode.
The Actual Idea we will write a code make for us LED output light and input light in same time then logs changes in Serial Monitor
Tools :

  1. 2 LED // LED1 Receive Light (input) and LED2 (Output)
  2. Arduino Uno3
  3. Arduino IDE
  4. and your mind, because i will not be explain some parts. :relaxed:

    This is a Video maybe will explain what i mean :blush:

Welcome man! Congrats on your first article :slight_smile:

Speaking of LEDs, my room is fitted out with them, they make for an edgy and cool hacker space :grin:

Interesting article. I have been working with LEDs with my arduino and they amaze me how simple yet intriguing they are.

Nice article and welcome to the community!

~Cheers!

Using LEDs as inputs is pretty interesting! Didn’t know that was possible (and it’s actually useful for me), thanks for the article.

What is the sensor you use on the A3 pin?

10

hmmm so this is a bot post?

11

thank you @Leeky I hope the article helps you a lot

12

@fxbg Yes :slight_smile:

13

but you still havent said what the input on a3 is

14

:smiley: just when you will see A3 its mean input in ANALOG IN exactly A3

15

yes i know what the analog inputs are lol i was asking what sensor you used on a3
