Basic breakout board for the TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor. Sensor acts like a transistor – the greater the incoming light, the higher the analog voltage on the signal pin.
TEMT6000 Light Sensor will detect the brightness of its surroundings. While there are many properties of light that can help us categorize its brightness, the TEMT6000 measures illuminance (measured in lux (lx), often denoted Ev). Don’t worry if illuminance is new to you though, the TEMT6000 is very intuitive to use: brighter = more current, darker = less current.
