The Yocto-Light-V5-C device is a USB ambient light sensor (lux meter) which allows you to measure ambient light. Measurements can be read directly via USB or stored on the device internal flash for later retrieval when connected again by USB.
Version 5 of the Yocto-Light features a particularly wide measurement range: it can measure from 0.001 to 143'000 lux, at a maximum sample rate of 20Hz.
This circuit has been designed so that the sensor itself can be moved away from the USB part by a few meters: simply split the board into two parts and solder a 4-wire cable on the designated pads.
This module is the equivalent of the Yocto-Light-V5 but with a USB type-C connector.
This device can be connected directly to an Ethernet network using a YoctoHub-Ethernet, to a WiFi network using a YoctoHub-Wireless-n and to a GSM network using a YoctoHub-GSM.
USB cables and enclosures to be ordered separately.
