- Based on the OPT3005 - single-chip lux meter from Texas Instruments
- Can be used for obtaining ambient light data in applications like display optical-intensity, industrial, or commercial lighting control
- mikroBUS: I2C Interface
The Ambient 22 Click Board™ - Measure Visible Light Intensity
Experience precise and hassle-free light intensity measurement with The Ambient 22 Click Board™ - a compact add-on board designed to measure the intensity of visible light.
Precise Light Intensity Measurement
The Ambient 22 Click Board™ features the OPT3005 - a single-chip lux meter from Texas Instruments that transforms light intensity to a digital signal output that can be directly communicated via an I2C interface. The sensor's spectral response closely matches the human eye's photopic response, allowing for highly accurate readings.
Wide Range of Measurement
With The Ambient 22 Click Board™, you can make measurements from 20mlux up to 166klux without manually selecting full-scale ranges, thanks to its built-in full-scale setting feature. The sensor also offers extreme rejection to 850nm and 940nm infrared light over a wide angle of incidence, ensuring that you get precise ambient light data.
Suitable for Various Applications
The Ambient 22 Click Board™ is perfect for obtaining ambient light data in applications like display optical-intensity, industrial, or commercial lighting control. Whether you need it for personal or professional use, this Click board™ is a reliable tool that simplifies your work.
mikroSDK Compliant Library
The Ambient 22 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library that includes functions designed to simplify software development. This ensures that you can start measuring light intensity right away, without worrying about complicated software.
Ready-to-Use Product
The Ambient 22 Click Board™ is a fully tested product that's ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket. Simply plug it in and start measuring light intensity - it's that easy!
Software Support
Software Support
We provide a library for the Ambient 22 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroE compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroE development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the ww driver.
Key functions
-
ambient22_get_int_pinThis function returns the INT pin logic state. -
ambient22_read_luxThis function checks for a conversion ready flag bit and reads the ambient light level in lux. -
ambient22_write_registerThis function writes data to the selected register by using I2C serial interface.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the Ambient 22 Click Board™ by measuring the ambient light level in lux.
void application_task ( void )
{
float lux;
// Wait for a data ready interrupt
while ( ambient22_get_int_pin ( &ambient22 ) );
if ( AMBIENT22_OK == ambient22_read_lux ( &ambient22, &lux ) )
{
log_printf( &logger, " Ambient light: %.2f luxrnn", lux );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Other MikroE Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.Ambient22
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click Board™, 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. UART terminal is available in all MikroE compilers.
MIKROSDK
The Ambient 22 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroE Software Development Kit, which needs to be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using to ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications.
