The Grove - Sunlight Sensor is a multi-channel digital light sensor, which has the ability to detect UV-light, visible light and infrared light.

Overview

This device is based on SI1145, a new sensor from SiLabs. The Si1145 is a low-power, reflectance-based, infrared proximity, UV index and ambient light sensor with I2C digital interface and programmable-event interrupt output.
This device offers excellent performance under a wide dynamic range and a variety of light sources including direct sunlight.
The Grove - Sunlight Sensor include an on-bard Grove connector, which help you to connect it your Arduino easily.

Features:

  • Digital light sensor
  • Wide spectrum detection range to improve accuracy.
  • Programmable configuration which make it versatile for various applications.
  • Detect sunlight directly
  • Grove compatible
  • I2C Interface (7-bit)

Get notified of impending floods with this Arduino Nano 33 IoT-based display
October 16, 2024

As climate change continues to worsen, events such as heavy rains, hurricanes, and atmospheric rivers have only intensified, and with them, large amounts of flooding that pose serious risks to life and property. Jude Pullen and Pete Milne, therefore, have responded by creating a "physical app" that can show the potential for flood dangers in real-time with sound, lights, and an ePaper display. The Arduino Nano 33 IoT powering the Flood Alert device sources its data from the UK Environmental Agency’s API to get statistics on an area’s latest risk level along with an extended description of what to expect. Initially, the electronics were mounted to a breadboard and housed within a cardboard enclosure, but a later revision moved everything to soldered protoboard, a 3D-printed case, and even added a piezoelectric buzzer to generate audible alerts. For now, the Flood Alert’s sole source of data is the aforementioned API, but Pullen hopes to expand his potential data sources to include “hyper-local” sensors that can all be aggregated and analyzed to give a much more precise view of flooding in a smaller area. To learn more about Flood Alert and its myriad applications to local communities and beyond, check out the original long read article’ is available at DesignSpark.
