Project 05 - OPT3001 with Arduino (Lux meter)
This project illustrates how we can use Arduino as Lux meter to measure intensity of light. I decided to use OPT3001 sensor from Texas Instruments for this tutorial, because of following features,
1. Precision Optical Filtering
2. Automatic Full-Scale Setting Feature
3. Measurements: 0.01 lux to 83 k lux
4. Low Operating Current: 1.8 μA
