PiicoDev® Ambient Light Sensor VEML6030

This is the repo for the Core Electronics PiicoDev Ambient Light Sensor VEML6030.

The PiicoDev Ambient Light Sensor is a great solution for sensing ambient light levels. Onboard is a high accuracy ambient light sensor - the VEML6030 boasts 16-bit precision. Better still, you can connect to this sensor using our PiicoDev system - no soldering is required to connect the PiicoDev Ambient Light Sensor to other devices in the PiicoDev family.

Features

  • Small size, high accuracy
  • PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
  • 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping
  • Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics

Technical Specifications:

  • Default address: 0x10, clear the ADDR jumper to change the address to 0x48
  • Dimensions: 25.4x25.4mm
  • Mounting Holes: 2x M2.5
