The Ambient 10 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board used to sense the amount of the present ambient light. This board features the APDS-9006-020, an analogue-output ambient light photosensor from Broadcom Limited. It consists of a spectrally suited photosensor, which provides excellent responsivity that is close to the response of the human eyes. Besides, it is also characterized by good output linearity across a wide illumination range, low sensitivity variation across various light sources, and comes with the ability to process the output signal in analogue or digital form. This Click Board™ is the most suitable for obtaining ambient light data for adjusting brightness in applications that require power saving and better visibility.
The Ambient 10 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
