Illumination and UV-Radiation Sensor
Two sensors are put together with this senseBox component.
The light intensity is measured with the TSL45315 sensor from AMS-TAOS. This sensor detects the light conditions similar to the human eye and outputs the brightness values directly in lux, with a large dynamic range (3 lux to 220k lux).
The second sensor is a Vishay VEML6070 Ultraviolet (UV) light sensor. This converts the intensity of the UV light of the sun into digital data. The sensor has excellent UV sensitivity and linearity via Filtron ™ technology. It has a good UV radiation measurement even with long solar UV exposure and can compensate for excellent temperature fluctuations.
