Grove I2C UV light Sensor (VEML6070)

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Grove - I2C UV Sensor(VEML6070) is an advanced ultraviolet (UV) light sensor with an I2C protocol interface and active acknowledge (ACK) feature. It detects 320-410nm light most effectively and will convert solar UV light intensity to digital data. Based on VEML6070, it has linear sensitivity to solar UV light and can easily be adjusted by an external resistor.

What's more, the active acknowledge (ACK) feature with threshold windows setting allows the UV sensor to send out a UVI alert message. Under a strong solar UVI condition, the smart ACK signal can be easily implemented by the software programming.

With the Grove I2C UV light sensor, which is compatible with Arduino as well as Rasberry Pi, you can make your own Arduino UV meter, or add a UV measuring function to your Raspberry Pi weather station.

Typical Applications

• Solar UV indicator, UV meter
• Cosmetic/outdoor sport handheld product
• Consumer products
• Weather station
