Grove I2C UV light Sensor- module with a UV light sensor VEML6070

Description

Module with a UV light sensor VEML6070. It enables the detection of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 320 to 410 nm. The sensor reacts to UV light in a linear manner and has a built-in ACK (active acknowledge) function, thanks to which it can inform about exceeding the assumed intensity threshold. The board is equipped with a Grove connector, so it can be used with the Base Shield V2 and Arduino extension. The module communicates via the I2C interface and is supplied with the voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V. It can be used as an indicator of UV radiation, e.g. in cosmetic products or sports gadgets. Full documentation of the module with examples of use is available on the product page.
