• General Pin Out is the standard pin out of a Sensor / Trinket connector.
• Sensor / Trinket's Pin Out is this specific Sensor / Trinket's wiring in relation to the General Pin Out.
• SIGNAL-A / SIGNAL-B are signals that could be digital input, digital output, analog input or analog output. Or special signals such as serial communication (SoftwareSerial, IIC (I2C), etc) or other special signals.
• Not Connected refers to the Pin not being used for this particular Sensor / Trinket.

Development

Program Download

• Download and unzip the program File:Sensor-Light-D1 Test.zip

Programming

• Follow the Software Getting Started Guide.
• Select the Board, Processor and Port.
• Click [File]->[Open], browse to the project program address, and click "TSL2561T_Test.ino" to open the program.
• After confirming all these items are correct, click "→" to download the program to the development board.

Hardware Setup

• Referring to the following diagram, connect the Sensor-Light-D1 to interface I2C of Microduino-Sensorhub.

Result

• After download, open the serial monitor.
• The serial monitor will print out the configuration information of the sensor, and then display the current light intensity in cycle.

Application

It can be used to detect the environment light intensity, and also can be used in devices such as light-operated switch and so on.
