Description The Grove Digital Light Sensor is a compact light sensing module based on the TSL2561 I2C light-to-digital converter. It converts light intensity into a digital signal and supports selectable infrared, full-spectrum, and human visible sensing modes, making it useful for projects that need more precise ambient light data than a simple analog photoresistor can provide. The module works with Grove plug-and-play wiring and offers 16-bit digital output, 400 kHz I2C Fast Mode communication, a wide 0.1 to 40,000 lux dynamic range, and a programmable interrupt function with user-defined upper and lower thresholds.
