MikroElektronika Illuminance Click
Overview
Illuminance Click is a compact add-on board that mimics how humans perceive light. This board features ams OSRAM TSL2583, a very-high sensitivity light-to-digital converter that transforms light intensity to a digital signal output capable of the direct I2C interface. It combines one broadband photodiode (visible plus infrared) and one infrared-responding photodiode on a single CMOS integrated circuit capable of providing a near-photopic response over an effective 16-bit dynamic range (16-bit resolution). This Click board™ is suitable for general-purpose light sensing applications to extend battery life and provide optimum viewing in diverse lighting conditions.
Illuminance Click
Requirements
This shield can only be used with a board that provides a mikroBUS™ socket and defines a
mikrobus_i2c node label for the mikroBUS™ I2C interface. See Shields for more
details.
Programming
Set -DSHIELD=mikroe_illuminance_click when you invoke west build. For example:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b mikroe_quail --shield mikroe_illuminance_click samples/sensor/light_polling
See ams,tsl2561 for documentation on the additional binding properties available for
the TSL2561 sensor, for example to adjust the gain and integration time.
