SparkFun Ambient Light Sensor Breakout - APDS-9301
Discontinued
The SparkFun APDS-9301 Ambient Light Sensor Breakout is an I2C-compatible luminosity sensor that converts light intensity to a digital output in lux. The minimal breakout design includes only the essential passive components alongside the APDS-9301 IC, providing precise illuminance measurement under diverse lighting conditions.
Key Features
- APDS-9301 Sensor – Digital ambient light measurement in lux
- I2C Interface – SCL, SDA, 3.3 V, and GND pins broken out
- Interrupt Pin – Programmable INT output for threshold-based alerts
- Minimal Design – Only essential passive components for a compact footprint
Note: This sensor is non-instantaneous and requires some integration time to take a measurement.
