Instead of only measuring overall brightness, it can quantify how much light is present across different wavelengths, letting you detect and compare colours far more precisely than a simple RGB sensor.Inside the tiny AS7343 package are 25 photodiodes covering 11 separate, overlapping bands of visible light, plus near infrared, clear and flicker sensing for 14 channels in total. A built-in 16-bit 6-channel ADC digitises the readings, while the onboard SMUX lets the chip route sensor signals to the ADC as needed.Adafruit has mounted the sensor on a STEMMA QT form factor breakout with level shifting and STEMMA QT connectors compatible with SparkFun Qwiic, so it can be connected without soldering to 3.3V or 5V boards. Arduino and CircuitPython libraries are provided to handle the sensor setup and reading process, with example code to help you get started. This device uses a different driver to the AS7341, so it is not back-compatible with existing AS7341 firmware drivers.Features:Multi-channel spectrometer: Detects both overall light level and the amount of light at different wavelengths.Multi-spectral measurement: Can quantify the specific make-up of emitted or reflected light.14-channel sensing: Provides 13 light channels plus flicker detection.SMUX routing: Allows the signal from any sensor to be routed to any ADC channel.Digital interface: Readings are available over I2C.Extra control pins: Includes GPIO and interrupt pins for communication with other sensors or a microcontroller.STEMMA QT / Qwiic form factor: Uses STEMMA QT connectors compatible with SparkFun Qwiic.Level shifting: Designed for use with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers.Library support: Arduino and CircuitPython libraries are available.Example code: Includes example code to help you get started.AS7341 compatibility note: Has 4 more light channels than the AS7341, but requires a new driver and is not back-compatible.Specifications:Sensor chip footprint: 3x2mmPhotodiodes: 25 photodiodesVisible light bands: 11 separate, overlapping bands of visible lightNear infrared channels: one near infraredClear channels: one clearFlicker channels: a flicker channelTotal channels: 14 channels totalReadable individual sensor elements: 14 readable individual sensor elementsLight channels: 13 light channelsAdditional light channels vs AS7341: 4 more light channelsADC resolution: 16-bitADC channels: 6-channel ADCInterface: I2CMicrocontroller compatibility: 3.3V or 5V microcontrollerA QT cable is not included, so add one if you want a quick solderless connection to a compatible board. This breakout is a good fit for colour analysis, light source characterisation and reflective sensing projects. **Product Type:** Spectral Sensor Breakout ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDN0MBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--6cb6587ea10a6f09415377d51669b86e9293ab1c/6477-01.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDOEMBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--c8916febdfe7df8a3d7ea7d7fe2e2ed2df7dbf9c/6477-05.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDOUMBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--29a7bcea652cfa68c4798ee6cc873a86403c699e/6477-02.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDOkMBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--e2f03cd70604aff6f22c65eb002c62a90e90c9de/6477-04.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDO0MBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--e1cdf88f7a9bb467251af272f3b48f1124d97c09/6477-03.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
