Summary

In this chapter, we learned what sensors are and their applications in electronic projects. This is important because we will continue applying sensors in other chapters from this book. We also defined photoresistors, and how they are classified. We also learned how to connect a photoresistor sensor module to the Blue Pill and Curiosity Nano boards' input ports, and how to analyze and use analog data from a photoresistor.

In this chapter, you learned important pieces of information. We have defined what a sensor and a photosensor is. You can now read data from them using microcontroller boards. The chapter also described how to connect a photosensor module to a microcontroller board.

Chapter 5, Humidity and Temperature Measurement, will explain what a humidity and temperature sensor is and how can we acquire and use its analog data with both the Blue Pill and Curiosity Nano microcontroller boards. This can have a number of applications, such as measuring the temperature...
