## Description

The SparkFun VEML6030 Ambient Light Sensor is a high-accuracy, 16-bit light sensor that measures ambient light in lux with a spectral response similar to the human eye. It connects via the Qwiic I2C system for solderless plug-and-play setup, with 0.1" header pins also broken out for breadboard use. With a readable range from 0 to 120,000 lux, configurable high/low threshold interrupts, and ultra-low power consumption in the single-digit microamp range, this sensor is well suited for display brightness control, environmental monitoring, and smart lighting applications. Key Features 16-Bit Resolution – High-accuracy ambient light readings in lux Human Eye Response – Spectral sensitivity matched to human vision 0–120,000 Lux Range – From darkness to bright sunlight Qwiic I2C Connector – Solderless, polarised 4-pin JST connection Configurable Interrupts – Set high and low lux thresholds for event triggering Ultra-Low Power – Single-digit µA current draw in power-saving mode Breadboard Friendly – 0.1" header pins broken out alongside Qwiic Arduino Library – Full-featured library with example code included Ideal For Automatic display brightness adjustment Environmental light monitoring and data logging Smart lighting and home automation Low-power IoT sensor nodes Package Contents 1× SparkFun VEML6030 Ambient Light Sensor (Qwiic) Resources VEML6030 Hookup Guide
