TSL2561 Digital Luminosity/Lux/Light Sensor Breakout
$5.90
✅SHIPS TODAY
The TSL2561 is a light-to-digital converter that translates light intensity into a digital signal output I2C. Sensitive to visible light and infrared for a near-optical response with a dynamic range of 20 bits. Two integrated ADCs convert the photodiodes' currents into a digital output, which measures the light intensity of each channel.

Features:
- Digital High Dynamic Range Light Sensor Module
- TSL2561 luminosity sensor
- More precise than low-cost CdS cells, allowing for exact lux calculations
- Configurable gain/timing ranges to detect light from 0.1 to 40,000+ Lux
- Contains both infrared and full spectrum diodes
- Measures infrared, full-spectrum, or human-visible light separately
- Most sensors only detect one type of light
- Approximates Human eye Response
- Precisely Measures Illuminance in Diverse Lighting Conditions
- This board/chip uses I2C 7-bit addresses 0x39, 0x29, 0x49, selectable with jumper pads
- Lux Range: 0.1 Lux to 40,000 Lux
- Adjustable gain / timing via I2C
- Pinout:
- VCC: Power
- GND: Ground
- SCL: Serial Clock Line
- SDA: Serial Data Line
- INT: Interrupt Pin (Not necessary to connect for basic functionality. Can be set via I2C registers to trigger if the luminosity passes a threshold or after conversion.)
- Approximates Human eye Response
- Operating Voltage: 3.3V-5V
- Current Rating: 0.6mA
