## Description

The Adafruit Right Angle VEML7700 Lux Sensor is an I2C ambient light sensor that measures calibrated lux values rather than arbitrary brightness numbers. Its unique right-angle orientation senses light coming parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular — ideal for edge-lit enclosures and side-mounted installations. The VEML7700 provides 16-bit dynamic range for ambient light detection from 0 lux to approximately 120 klux, with resolution down to 0.0036 lx/ct. Gain and integration times are software-adjustable for different lighting conditions. Key Features Right-Angle Sensing – Detects light parallel to the PCB surface, unlike most top-facing sensors Calibrated Lux Output – Returns SI lux values for consistent, meaningful readings across sensors 16-Bit Dynamic Range – 0 to ~120,000 lux with 0.0036 lx/ct resolution I2C Interface – Simple two-wire connection with STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors for solderless hookup Software-Adjustable – Configurable gain and integration time Wide Compatibility – Arduino and CircuitPython libraries available; works with microcontrollers and SBCs including Raspberry Pi Ideal For Ambient light measurement in enclosures with side-mounted sensors Automatic display brightness adjustment Environmental monitoring and data logging Smart lighting and energy management systems Package Contents 1× Adafruit Right Angle VEML7700 Lux Sensor Breakout Note: STEMMA QT / Qwiic cable is not included. Use a compatible JST SH cable for solderless connection, or solder directly to the header pads. Resources STEMMA QT Overview Arduino Library (GitHub) CircuitPython Library (GitHub)
