      Light Sensor, Ambient Light Detecting (Waveshare 12490) TSL2581FN I2C interface

      Light Sensor, detects the ambient light intensity, I2C interface

      Overview

      • Features TSL2581FN with ADC, feels the ambient light just like human vision
      • I2C interface directly outputs the ambient light intensity value, needs no calibration, less noise interference
      • Embedded infrared photodiode, gets high precision output even in environments with strong infrared noise interference
      • Features interrupt output, programmable upper/lower thresholds
      • Sensitivity is about 30 times higher than TSL2560/TSL2561
      • Embedded voltage level translate circuit, allows directly connecting to 3.3V/5V MCU systems

      Specifications

      • Resolution: 16 bit
      • Operating voltage: 3.3V ~ 5V
      • Dimension: 25mm × 15.5mm
      • Mounting holes size: 2.0mm

      Applications

      • Street lamp control
      • Safety lighting

      • Robot vision

      How to Use

      In the case of working with a MCU:

      • VCC ↔ 3.3V ~ 5V
      • GND ↔ GND
      • SDA ↔ MCU.I2C data pin
      • SCL ↔ MCU.I2C clock pin
      • INT ↔ interrupt output, optional
