The MikroElektronika Ambient 18 Click is a compact add on board used to sense the amount of the present ambient light. This board features the BH1680FVC which is an analogue current output ambient light sensor from Rohm Semiconductor. The BH1680FVC can detect a wide range of illuminance up to 10 klx and provides excellent responsivity close to the human eyes response. It is also characterized by low sensitivity variation across various light sources, a built in shutdown function and the ability to process the output signal in analogue or digital form. This Click board is the most suitable for obtaining ambient light data for adjusting brightness in applications that require power saving and better visibility.
