SPARKFUN TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor Breakout Board
Detect light levels with the SPARKFUN TEMT6000 breakout board. Works with 5V & 3.3V systems. Ideal for sensors & automation.
The SPARKFUN TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor Breakout Board offers a simple yet effective solution for detecting ambient light levels. Featuring the TEMT6000 sensor, it operates like a transistor, where increased light results in a higher voltage on the signal pin. The breakout board ensures easy access to all three essential pins: signal (output voltage), ground, and collector voltage, with the latter limited to a maximum of 6V for safety.
This versatile sensor is compatible with both 5V and 3.3V devices, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether you're prototyping a light-sensitive circuit or developing an automated lighting system, this sensor provides reliable performance.
