I bought a 3mm Ambient light sensor at Radio Shack the lens is clear and a long and short leg there is no circuit description and some of the folks say its a Phototransistor. From some description of the difference is that Photodiode has a Collector to Base circuit and the Emitter is the Light receiver and in the Phototransistor the Base is the Light receiver.
I want to use this as a Light detector from a Fiber optic cable.
I would appreciate any help I can get, thanks be well and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays..colum
