Product description: Arduino Modulino Light - light, color and IR sensor - Qwiic - ABX00111
The Arduino Modulino Light is a compact module from the Modulino family, designed for the rapid development of interactive electronics projects. The module utilizes a precise LTR-381RGB-01 sensor , which allows for simultaneous measurement of ambient light intensity , analysis of RGB color components, and detection of infrared radiation . Communication is via an I2C bus using popular Qwiic connectors, allowing for easy connection of multiple modules without the need for soldering. The ready-made design and support for the official Arduino Modulino library make the sensor suitable for both beginners and professionals creating advanced IoT, robotic, and educational systems.
Arduino Modulino Light - light, color and IR sensor - Qwiic - ABX00111.
Botland is an official distributor of the Arduino development platform in Poland. We offer a wide choice of boards, modules and accessories from this popular brand, along with tutorials and a knowledge base for users. All Arduino products presented here are original.
Modulino Light is used wherever measurement of the optical parameters of the environment is required.

- Full integration with the Arduino ecosystem : library support, Arduino IDE, Arduino Cloud and MicroPython
Easy connection of Arduino Modulino Light sensor
Modulino Light is designed to work with boards equipped with a Qwiic interface or an I2C bus operating at 3.3V. The manufacturer recommends using the module with Arduino UNO R4 WiFi and Arduino UNO Q boards , but the sensor also works with Arduino Nano ESP32, Nano RP2040 Connect, Nano 33 IoT, Nano 33 BLE, Nano Matter, and other compatible platforms . Communication takes place via the I2C bus using the fixed address 0x53. The board features two Qwiic connectors, allowing for serial connection of additional modules. Additionally, the manufacturer has provided solder pads with GND, 3.3V, SDA, and SCL signals, allowing the module to be integrated into custom hardware designs. An additional connector also provides an INT signal, enabling the use of hardware interrupts generated by the sensor when specific measurement conditions are met.

Modulino Light programming
Using the module is made extremely simple thanks to the official Arduino Modulino library . After connecting the sensor, simply install the library from the Arduino IDE to access ready-made functions for sensing color, light intensity, and infrared radiation levels. The library allows, among other things, retrieving RGB values, reading light intensity in lux, detecting the approximate color name, and monitoring IR signal levels. The manufacturer also provides support for the MicroPython environment , allowing the module to be used in both classic Arduino projects and Python-based applications. Available examples include color sorting systems, intelligent lighting control, interactive lighting installations, environmental sensors, and educational applications demonstrating the operation of optical sensors.
