Mikroe Light 6 Click
Mikroe Light 6 Click is a compact add-on board suitable for real-time light level detection, illumination monitoring, and brightness adaptation. The board features Vishay Semiconductor's VEML6031X01 high-accuracy ambient light sensor, which integrates a highly sensitive photodiode, a low-noise amplifier, and a 16-bit A/D converter. The device offers digital light measurements over a wide dynamic range, from 0lx to approximately 172klx with resolution down to 0.0026lx/ct. Mikroe Light 6 Click uses Vishay's Filtron™ technology to deliver a human-eye-like spectral response. Additional features include interrupt functionality, excellent temperature compensation, I2C communication, and Mikroe's Click Snap for flexible implementation. The Light 6 board is designed for automotive and embedded applications.
