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.

Arduino Pro is introducing a powerful new member of the Portenta product family, the Portenta Machine Control. It’s a fully-centralized, low-power, industrial control unit able to drive equipment and machinery. Plus, you can program it using the Arduino framework or other embedded development platforms. Thanks to its computing power, the Portenta Machine Control enables a wide range of predictive maintenance and AI use cases. It enables the collection of real-time data from the factory floor, while supporting remote control of equipment, including from the cloud. Key benefits include: Shorter time-to-marketEnhance existing productsAdd connectivity for monitoring, as well as controlEach I/O pin can be configured, so you can tailor it to your needsMake equipment smarter, as well as AI-readyProvide security and robustness from the ground upOpen new business model opportunities (such as servitization)Interact with your equipment with advanced human-machine interfaces (HMI)Modular design for adaptation, expansion and upgrades Business as a Service The Portenta Machine Control allows companies to enable new business-as-a-service models. You can monitor customer usage of equipment for predictive maintenance while gathering valuable production data. The device enables industry standard soft-PLC control. Because of this, it's able to connect to a range of external sensors and actuators. For example, the following options are all available. Isolated digital I/O, 4-20mA compatible analog I/OThree configurable temperature channelsDedicated I2C connector. Multiple choices are available for network connectivity, including USB, Ethernet and WiFi and BLE. Furthermore, it offers impressive compatibility through industry specific protocols such as RS485. All I/O are protected by resettable fuses, but on-board power management ensures maximum reliability in harsh environments. The Portenta Machine Control core runs an Arduino Portenta H7
