Illum sensor
Overview
This sample reads the value of the illuminance sensor mounted on the 4-Sensors leaf and displays it on the serial monitor.

illumConfig.Latch = B0; // hysteresis-style
illumErrorConfig = illum.writeConfig(illumConfig);
if(illumErrorConfig != NO_ERROR){
illumErrorConfig = illum.writeConfig(illumConfig); //retry
}
}
void loop() {
OPT3001 result = illum.readResult();
if(result.error == NO_ERROR){
dataIllum = result.lux;
}
Serial.println("Lum[lx] = " + String(dataIllum));
delay(1000);
}
Execution Results
Open the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE and set the baud rate to 115200 bps, and you will see the illumination.
