Digital Light Sensor - VEML7700 - I2C - Angular - STEMMA QT/Qwiic - Adafruit 5378

Digital ambient light sensor from Adafruit . It was based on the VEML7700 chip, which allows it to measure in the range from 0 lux to 120 klux . Unlike standard sensors, it detects light entering parallel to the surface of the circuit board. It has a STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector and solder pads - an alternative connection method.

An example of connecting the module with the Metro board. The contact plate and the Metro plate are not part of the set - they can be purchased separately.

The board has two connection options - using standard solder pads to which the goldpin strips included in the kit should be soldered, or using STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors, which do not require soldering.

• VIN - supply voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V
• GND - the ground of the system
• SDA - data line of the I2C bus
• SCL - clock line of the I2C bus
• VOUT - analog output.
