Description
Module from the Grove series, allowing you to make the function to determine the color of ambient light. Applied sensor BH1745 with a LED backlight and a built-in IR filter. The sensor detects the color red, blue, green, and measures the light intensity in the range from 0.005 Lux or 40,000 Lux. It communicates via the I2C bus. It works with a supply voltage from 3.3 V to 5 V.
The product is compatible with Raspberry Sample code and detailed information can be found inthe user guide. |
Connection
The sensor works with any microcontroller that is equipped with I2C interface, includingArduino. It hasPimoroni connectorthat allows the direct connection to Raspberry Pi or the use of Garden HAT shield.
Pins
The Board has 5 pins for self-assembly of goldpin connectors, 2.54 mm pitch (included).
