Ks0278 keyestudio BH1750FVI Digital Light Intensity Module

Introduction

Keyestudio BH1750FVI digital light intensity module is a digital light intensity sensor integrated circuit used for two-wire serial bus interface.
It uses the light intensity data collected by module to adjust the brightness of LCD and keyboard backlight. The module resolution can detect a wide range of light intensity changes.

Specification

• Diameter 26mm, large diameter 28.5mm, high 26mm (plus light ball)
• Working voltage: DC 5V
• Communication interface: IIC
• Input light range: 1-65535lx
• Spectral sensitivity: typical value of peak sensitivity wavelength: 560nm
• Weak dependency on light source: incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, white LED and fluorescent is available.

//Power down after each measurement

 unsigned int illuminance = 0;

 void setup()
 {
     Wire.begin();
     Serial.begin(115200);
 }

 void loop()
 {
     Wire.beginTransmission(ADDRESS_BH1750FVI); //"notify" the matching device
     Wire.write(ONE_TIME_H_RESOLUTION_MODE);     //set operation mode
     Wire.endTransmission();

     delay(180);

     Wire.requestFrom(ADDRESS_BH1750FVI, 2); //ask Arduino to read back 2 bytes from the sensor
     highByte = Wire.read();  // get the high byte
     lowByte = Wire.read(); // get the low byte

     sensorOut = (highByte<<8)|lowByte;
     illuminance = sensorOut/1.2;
     Serial.print(illuminance);    Serial.println(" lux");

     delay(1000);
 }

Test Result

Open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 115200.
For the light intensity, the value will make a corresponding change. The stronger the light is, the larger the value is.
