Product information "SparkFun Qwiic - Ambient Light Sensor - VEML6030"

Looking for an ambient light detection option? The VEML6030 Qwiic board is a great entry-level option. The VEML6030 is a highly accurate ambient light sensor with 16-bit resolution. Even more impressive is that it can detect light similar to the reaction of the human eye. By using our convenient Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. Still, we've broken out the pins at 0.1" spacing in case you'd rather use a breadboard.

The SparkFun ambient light sensor measures ambient light in lux and has a number of nice features, including: the ability to set high and low thresholds for an optional interrupt, power saving features that allow for single-digit microampere current draw, and a readable range of zero to 120,000 lux. We have also written an Arduino library that provides full access to all functions and includes sample code that demonstrates all of its capabilities.

Note: The I2C address of the VEML6030 is 0x48 and can be switched to 0x10 using a jumper. A multiplexer/mux is required for communication with several VEML6030 sensors on one bus. If you want to use more than one VEML6030 sensor, you should use the Qwiic Mux Breakout.

Features:
  • Ground life: 72h, MSL 4, according to J-STD-020
  • Low stand-by current consumption: typically 0.5uA
  • Configurable I2C address (default: 0x48)
  • Removable pull-up resistors
  • Removable power LED
  • Qwiic connector
