This module is based on the I2C light-to-digital converter TSL2561 to transform light intensity to a digital signal.

Overview

Different from traditional analog light sensor, as Grove - Light Sensor, this digital module features a selectable light spectrum range due to its dual light sensitive diodes: infrared and full spectrum.
You can choose among three detection modes when taking your readings. There is infrared mode, full spectrum and human visible mode. When running under the human visible mode, this sensor will give you readings within the range of light spectrum that the eye can pick up.

Features

  • Selectable detection modes

  • High resolution 16-Bit digital output at 400 kHz I2C Fast-Mode

  • Wide dynamic range: 0.1 - 40,000 LUX

  • Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C

  • Programmable interrupt function with User-Defined Upper and lower threshold settings

Prototype faster and smarter in 2025: Meet the Arduino Pro Portenta Proto Kit
Prototype faster and smarter in 2025: Meet the Arduino Pro Portenta Proto Kit
January 7, 2025

Launching today at CES 2025, the Arduino Pro Portenta Proto Kit is here to revolutionize how professionals approach prototyping. Designed to empower engineers, designers, and innovators from all walks of life, this kit provides everything you need to turn your ideas into functional prototypes quickly, efficiently, and without conventional limitations. Available in two variants – Portenta Proto Kit ME (Motion Environment) and VE (Vision Environment, available later this month) – the kit equips you with advanced tools to tackle any challenge, from environmental sensing to machine vision to vibration detection, accelerating the prototyping phase from weeks to days and days to hours. Whether you’re developing predictive maintenance systems or high-speed test rigs, the flexible and comprehensive Portenta Proto Kit has you covered. What’s inside the Portenta Proto Kit? At the heart of the kit is the powerful Portenta H7, paired with the versatile Portenta Mid Carrier. These components support advanced processing and edge machine learning, ensuring your prototypes are as future-ready as they are functional. The kit also includes the full set of our innovative Modulino nodes for rapid sensing and actuation, 4G GNSS Module Global for connectivity, and an Arduino Cloud for Business Voucher for your first three months of seamless cloud integration – so you can store, display, and analyze data remotely. Depending on your chosen configuration, you’ll also find everything you need for motion, vision, and environmental sensing in one kit: Nicla Vision and Nicla Sense Env for machine vision and environmental monitoring (Vision Environment variant) Nicla Sense ME for motion detection and predictive maintenance (Motion Environment variant) You'll easily integrate all of these hardware tools with the new Proto Shield included, and leverage the Arduino IDE on the software side to develop quick, scalable, IoT-enabled prototypes.
