Illum sensor

Overview

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

Leaf to use

Use the following leaves.

Type	Name	Q’ty
AZ62	Connector Cover	1
AI01	4-Sensors	1
AZ01	USB	1
AP01	AVR MCU	1
AV01	CR2032	1
	CR2032 coin cell battery	1
	M2*15mm screw	2

Assembly

Let’s assemble leaves as shown in the figure below.

Source code

Write the following program in the Arduino IDE.

This sketch requires additional libraries. If they are not installed, follow the AVR Arduino IDE library instructions.

Execution Results

Open the serial monitor of the Arduino IDE and set the baud rate to 115200 bps and you will see the illuminance.
