Working of XH-M131
This XH-M131 module comprises an opamp comparator at its heart. The main input to the opamp is the variable voltage generated with the LDR according to the light intensity. This variying intensity produces a voltage across the voltage divider formed with the LDR and the resistor R2. This voltage is continuously compared with the fixed reference voltage set by the potentiometer P103. As soon as the light intensity is such that the voltage generated is greater than the reference voltage, the output of the opamp goes high and the relays is switched on.
The on off point can be changed by changing the position of the potentiometer.
