Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- lux
- Lux is the standard unit for measuring how much light falls on a surface, similar to how a light meter reports brightness. A sensor that outputs lux gives readings that are easier to compare between rooms, outdoor conditions, and different projects.
- NVIDIA Jetson Nano
- A compact NVIDIA computing module used for camera, robotics and machine-learning projects at the edge. Compatibility with Jetson Nano tells you this carrier board can host that module, but the module itself is not included.
- UVC
- UVC is a short-wavelength, high-energy band of ultraviolet light often used in germicidal lamps and curing applications. A separate UVC reading matters if your project needs to monitor or verify UVC sources rather than just detect general UV light.
