Ambient 7 Click, MIKROE-3601, MikroElektronika

Ambient 7 Click is a light intensity-sensing and measuring Click board, which features an accurate light-intensity sensor labeled as SFH 5701 A01, made by Osram Opto Semiconductors. It offers a high measurement accuracy in wide range of the actual light intensity. The spectral response of the sensor is calibrated to closely match the spectral response of the human eye. Thanks to its high level of integration, the sensor requires a minimal number of external components.

Ambient 7 Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS socket.

The influence of the light source type on the measurement accuracy is quite reduced. The sensor is capable of converting the light intensity from any type of light source, including daylight, fluorescent light, LED light, incandescent light, and so on. It also features Integrated dark current suppression and thermal compensation, which helps eliminating enviromental effects to measurement results.
