CJMCU-TEMT6000 An Ambient Light Sensor

The CJMCU-TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor uses a phototransistor that closely emulates the human eye's spectral response. It detects light intensity and converts it into an analog voltage signal, which can be read by an Arduino or other microcontrollers.

Ambient Light Sensor

• Expose To Extreme Conditions: Avoid exposing the sensor to extreme light conditions which might saturate the sensor.,
• Use In High Ir Environments: Do not use in environments with high infrared light as it inhibits IR spectrum.,
• Misalign Sensor: Avoid incorrect placement or orientation that could lead to inaccurate readings.

• Connect Correctly: Ensure the sensor is connected to the analog input pin of the microcontroller correctly.,
• Check Voltage Levels: Verify that the voltage levels are within the sensor's operating range to avoid damage.,
• Use Appropriate Lighting: Use the sensor in environments with lighting conditions similar to those it is designed for, to ensure accurate readings.

• Temperature And Humidity: Operate the sensor within the recommended temperature and humidity levels.

• Maximum Input Voltage: Ensure the input voltage does not exceed the maximum rating to prevent damage.

• Arduino Setup: Use the provided sample code to start reading values from the sensor. Initialize the serial communication and read the analog value from the sensor connected to Analog Pin 0.

• Black: Connect the black cable to GND (Ground).,
• Red: Connect the red cable to VCC (Power Supply).,
• Other: Connect the other cable (usually yellow or white) to an analog input on the microcontroller.
