The Ambient 5 Click Board™ can sense the intensity of the ambient light, providing measurement data in a digital format, over the I2C interface. It utilises the VEML6030, a miniature ambient light sensor (ALS) that occupies only 2x2 mm of space. Packed in a small transparent casing, this sensor offers a lot of features.
Thanks to its 16-bit dynamic range, it can be used in very dim, but also in very bright lighting conditions. A Filtron technology provides spectral response close to a real human eye. The flicker noise rejection algorithm improves accuracy, while excellent thermal compensation ensures consistent readings.
