The code is developed for the hardware NUCLEO-L432KC or any other board with SPI communication and the Digilent Pmod ALS1 ambient light sensor module. The purpose is to make students to understand the development process. They need to study the original analog to digital converter documentation to understand how the converter 16 bit output is converted to an illuminance value.
