1 Introduction

Photoresistor

• The Matrix-Photoresistor is a photoresistor module. It has a 3 pin 2.54mm spacing pin-header of which V is supply voltage, G is ground and s is output analog signal. The output signal decreases with increasing incident light intensity. Users can convert its output analog signal to a digital signal via ADC conversion.
• Output Voltage: 0 ~ Vcc

3 Basic Device Operation

• The module has a photoresistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity.If incident light on a photoresistor exceeds a certain frequency, photons absorbed by the semiconductor give bound electrons enough energy to jump into the conduction band. The resulting free electrons (and their hole partners) conduct electricity, thereby lowering resistance.

4 Applications

The Matrix-Photoresistor module outputs analog signals which can be converted to digital signals through an ADC converter e.g. the Matrix-Analog_to_Digital_Converter module.

5 编译运行测试程序

启动开发板并运行Debian系统，进入系统后克隆Matrix代码仓库：

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

克隆完成后会得到一个名为matrix的目录。

编译并安装Matrix：

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

运行测试程序：

$ matrix-adc

注意：此模块并不支持热插拔，启动系统前需要确保硬件连接正确。
运行效果如下：

The channel0 value is 2460

光照强度越强，读到的值越小。

6 代码说明

所有的开发板都共用一套Matrix代码，本模块的测试示例代码为matrix-analog_to_digital_converter，内容如下:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int i = 0;
    int value = 0;
    int channel = 0;
 
    if (boardInit() < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }
 
    if (argc == 2)
        channel = atoi(argv[1]);
    system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE);
    signal(SIGINT, intHandler);
    for (i=0; i<ADC_READ_TIMES; i++) {
        if (pcf8591Read(channel, &value) != -1) {
            printf("The channel%d value is %d\n", channel, value);
        } else {
            printf("Fail to get channel%d value\n", channel);
        }
    }
    system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE);
 
    return 0;
}
