Adafruit APDS9999 Proximity, Lux Light & Color Sensor
Adafruit · 6461
6461Compact STEMMA QT / Qwiic breakout for the Broadcom APDS9999 proximity, lux light and colour sensor. It uses I2C, works with 3.3V or 5V logic through onboard regulation/level shifting, and is intended for short-range reflected IR proximity plus RGB/lux sensing.
Light and colour
3 other optionsPhotoresistors and color sensors both respond to light, but they expose very different signals and are not sensible drop-in substitutes.
Photo cell (CdS photoresistor) visual previewPhoto cell (CdS photoresistor)
Loose CdS light-dependent resistor for simple analog light sensing. Useful for light/dark thresholds and approximate brightness, not color detection.
