Vishay VEML3235 Ambient Light Sensors are advanced low power, high sensitivity sensors with I²C protocol interface and are designed by the CMOS process. These sensors houses photodiode, amplifiers, and analog circuits in a single chip and are easy to operate using simple I²C commands....

ams’ digital ambient light sensor features an integrated on-chip photopic filter The TSL2540 from ams was developed as the 4th generation ambient light sensor (ALS) and includes an integrated on-chip photopic filter which provides near photopic responsiveness for operation behind...

VEML3235SL is an advanced ambient light sensor with an I2C protocol interface and designed using the CMOS process VEML3235SL is an advanced ambient light sensor with an I2C protocol interface and designed using the CMOS process. The VEML3235SL incorporates a photodiode, amplifiers,...

You may have seen many light-sensitive switch circuits based on an LDR sensor. Usually, the sensitivity of the LDR based light sensor is poor. We wanted a very sensitive light switch hence we decided to make a circuit based on a light sensor rather than LDR. After a little research on...

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has released an innovative full-color ambient light sensor (ALS) that helps smartphones take better pictures and present more visually accurate data on screen displays....

ON Semiconductor NOA1213 Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) is a very low power sensor with an analog current output and a power down mode to conserve power. This ALS is designed for handheld device applications with active power dissipation less than 8µA at dark (less than 200pA quiescent...

Since Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a built-in ADC (Analog to Digital converter) to read the voltage off from most of sensors, the best solution is to add I2C ADC chips and modules to your project. Paweł Spychalski faced this problem while building his own weather station that is based...

Sun tracker systems are widely used in solar panel setups to get maximum performance. You may want to use one in your personal solar panel setup. Now you can make your own with an Arduino, following the project that's designed by RobotGeek Team and Wade Filewich. Parts You'll...
