This video demonstrates how to build a simple photodiode light sensor circuit. The circuit uses a photodiode, a resistor, and a power supply to measure the amount of light falling on the photodiode. The video explains how to connect the components and how to measure the voltage across the resistor, which is proportional to the amount of light.
