TSL2561 - Luminosity Sensor Hookup Guide

Key Features

  • that allow it to handle this huge dynamic range. These settings are similar to a camera; one can change both the sensitivity (which is like an ASA film rating), and the integration time, (which is like the shutter speed). Like a camera, you can balance those measurements for the best results. Lux is a very complex measurement to make because it involves both the human eye’sresponse to color (frequency), and the concentration of that light (a flashlight will produce a higher lux value than the eq.

TSL2561 Luminosity Sensor Hookup Guide a learn.sparkfun.com tutorial Available online at: http://sfe.io/t167 Contents Let There Be Light! Installing the Arduino Library Connecting the Hardware Using the Arduino Library Tips and Tricks Resources and Going Further Let There Be Light! The TSL2561 is an inexpensive but sophisticated light sensor. Unlike simpler sensors like photoresistors and photodiodes, the TSL2561 incorporates both infrared and visible light sensors to better approximate the response of the human eye. Because the TSL2561 is an integrating sensor (it soaks up light for a predetermined amount of time), it is capable of measuring both very small and very large amounts of light. This hookup guide will explain what this sensor does, and how you can use it in your projects.
