101020089 Arduino - Grove Sunlight Sensor v1.0, SI1145

Description Summer is coming, want to make a UV detector to know the UV index when you are under the sun? Grove - Sunlight Sensor is recommend here.

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

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.

Grove - Sunlight Sensor include an on-bard Grove connector, which help you to connect it your Arduino easily. You can use this device for making some project which need to detect the light, such as a simple UV detector.

Features - Digital light sensor - Wide spectrum detection range - Programmable configuration - 3.3/5V Supply - Detect sunlight directly - Grove compatible - I2C Interface(7-bit)

Specification - Operating Voltage: 3.0-5.5V - Working current: 3.5mA - Wave length: 280-950nm - Operating Temperature: -45-85oC
