The Ambient 6 Click Board™ can sense the intensity of the ambient light, providing the measurement data in digital format over the I2C interface. It utilises the VEML7700, a miniature ambient light sensor (ALS) with an I2C interface. Packed in a small transparent casing, this sensor can provide very accurate readings: thanks to a 16-bit dynamic range, it can be used in very dim and very bright lighting conditions.
A well-proven Filtron™ technology allows response close to a real human eye, while the O-Trim™ technology allows for ALS tolerance of less than 10%. The flicker noise rejection algorithm further improves accuracy, while excellent thermal compensation ensures consistency of the measurement results.
