Features

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11195

  • R,G,B data is in true 8-bit RGB format from 0-255
  • light intensity is output in lux (lx)
  • lx given for R ,G and B as well as full spectrum lx
  • RGB color data and lx can be output simultaneously
  • lx range from 0- 3,235 lux
  • Light saturation indicator if lx is over 3,235
  • Three different output modes:
  • RGB only
  • Lx only
  • RGB and lx
  • Data output is a single comma separated string
  • Simple RS-232 connectivity (voltage swing 0-VCC)
  • Harsh environment ready: NEMA 6P and IP 68 rated
  • Wide operating temperature range: -40 Celsius to +85 Celsius
  • Simple instruction set consisting of only 5 commands
  • Reading time: 620ms
  • Wide operating voltage range: 3.1V to 5.5V
  • Shock resistant to 16 mega Pascals
