Light Sensor

Python-SL01

The SL01 xChip is a UV radiation and ambient light level sensor. It is based on the VEML6075 and TSL4531. VEML6075 on the SL01 is capable of measuring UVA and UVB radiation, in turn, providing an acccurate UV Index. TSL4531 is a light sensor that is capable of measuring the luminosity (Wide Dynamic Range — 3 lux to 220k lux) (visual brightness).
