Le L'Ambient 12 Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte utilisée pour détecter la quantité de lumière ambiante présente. Cette carte est équipée du BH1620FVC, un capteur de lumière ambiante de type sortie de courant analogique de Rohm Semiconductor. Il est caractérisé par une sensibilité spectrale proche de la sensibilité de l'œil humain et produit un courant proportionnel à la luminosité. Il dispose également de quatre modes de fonctionnement configurables, d'un mode d'arrêt associé à trois modes de gain et de faibles variations de sensibilité de +/-15 %. Ce Click Board™ est le plus adapté pour obtenir des données de lumière ambiante afin de régler la luminosité dans les applications qui nécessitent des économies d'énergie et une meilleure visibilité.
Le Tableau à clic Ambient 12™ est pris en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The Ambient 12 Click Board™ Work?
The Ambient 12 Click Board™ is based on the BH1620FVC, an analog current-output type ambient light sensor from Rohm Semiconductor. The BH1620FVC is composed of photodiodes, amplifiers, and current mirror circuits, where the output current, in proportion to brightness, is converted to the voltage value by an external resistor. It is characterized by spectral sensitivity close to human eyes sensitivity with low sensitivity variations of +/-15%.
It also has four configurable modes of operation, shutdown mode associated with three gain modes: high-gain mode with an illuminance detection range of 1000lx, medium-gain mode up to 10.000lx, and low-gain mode up to 100.000lx. The desire gain mode is selected through CS and PWM pins of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as GC1 and GC2.
The output voltage of the BH1620FVC can be converted to a digital value using MCP3221, a successive approximation A/D converter with a 12-bit resolution from Microchip, using a 2-wire I2C compatible interface, or can be sent directly to an analog pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as AN. Selection can be performed by onboard SMD jumper labelled as A/D SEL to an appropriate position marked as AN and ADC.
The Ambient 12 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VIO SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The Ambient 12 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
