Description
This device is based on SI1151, a new sensor from SiLabs. The Si1151 is a low-power, reflectance-based, infrared proximity, UV index, and ambient light sensor with an I2C digital interface and programmable event interrupt output. This device offers excellent performance under a wide dynamic range and a variety of light sources including direct sunlight.
Grove - Sunlight Sensor includes an onboard Grove connector, which helps you to connect it to your Arduino easily. You can use this device for making some projects that need to detect light for your Raspberry Pi weather station, or a smart irrigation system using Arduino if you need to monitor the visible spectrum.
You can connect your Grove to these recommended development boards:
- Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040
- Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840
- Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21
- Wio-E5 CAN Development Kit
