TEMT6000 Ambient Light Sensor

Introduction:

At some point you are going to sense ambient brightness with better

precision than your trusty photoresistor without adding complexity to

your project. When that day comes, go get yourself a TEMT6000 ambient

light sensor.

The TEMT6000 is supposed to be adapted to the sensitivity of the human

eye, but found it preformed sub-par in low light conditions.

It does however work very well reacting to very small changes in a large

range of brightness. Because it is meant to mimic the human eye, it does

not react well to IR or UV light, so just make sure to note that when using

it in your project.

You can power this off of 3.3v as you like, the output value will just be lower.
