Principle

Experimental setup for controlling the lighting depending on the brightness of the surroundings. In the experiment, the lamp switches off when a freely selectable light intensity is exceeded and vice versa.

Benefits

• Programming of the controller with the Scratch programming language or with a trigger function.

• Use of standard Cobra SMARTsense sensors for teaching in schools and universities. Tasks

Tasks

1. Continuous measurement of brightness (in lux) and programming the switching of a light source depending on the brightness.

Learning objectives

• The students learn how to create a lighting control system with just a few components.

• Scratch programming.
