SPARKFUN Qwiic Ambient Light Sensor Board, VEML6030
High-accuracy ambient light sensor with Qwiic/I2C connectivity. 0–120,000 lux range, 16-bit resolution & interrupt thresholds.
The SPARKFUN Qwiic Ambient Light Sensor Board (VEML6030) offers an entry-level solution for ambient light sensing on a convenient Qwiic breakout board. Designed for ease of use, this sensor accurately reads ambient light in lux, closely matching the human eye's sensitivity. Perfect for prototyping, the board features dual Qwiic connectors, ensuring seamless integration with the Qwiic Connect System for fast and efficient development.
Key Features:
- High accuracy detection with 16-bit resolution for precise light measurement.
- Wide readable range from 0 to 120,000 lux, making it suitable for various lighting conditions.
- Configurable high and low thresholds for optional interrupt-driven applications.
- Flexible connectivity via dual Qwiic connectors or standard I2C pins.
- I2C Interface address: 0x48 (default), jumper-selectable to 0x10 for multi-sensor setups.
- Removable pullup resistors and power LED for custom circuit optimisation.
The compact 25.4 x 25.4 mm board is fitted in the package as a standalone Qwiic sensor. Note that a multiplexer is required if connecting multiple VEML6030 sensors to a single bus. Incorporating SPARKFUN's reliable quality, this sensor is a must-have for smart lighting, automation, or IoT projects.
