Adafruit FLORA Wearable Sensors, Modules & Neo Pixels
- Adafruit 1246, The Adafruit TSL2561 FLORA lux Sensor lets your next wearable project be light reactive with individual infra-red & full spectrum photodiodes. By careful use of the sensor readings you can measure IR, full-spectrum or human visible illuminance, unlike most single diode sensors. You have control over the sensor's gain & timing parameters to sense illuminance ranges from 0.1 to 40, 000 lux on the fly. For reference, daylight is around 11, 000 lux & the full moon provides around 0.1 lux. The sensor uses very little power, around 0.5m A when sensing & less than 15µA in sleep mode. Adafruit supply a wealth of information to get you started, a FLORA lux tutorial, a TSL2561 Tutorial & a free Arduino library. Adafruit 1246 TSL2561 FLORA Lux Sensor
