Adafruit IO WipperSnapper adds TSL2591 Light Sensor Support #NoCode #IoT
We’ve added support for the TSL2591 High Dynamic Range Digital Light Sensor to the latest version of Adafruit.io WipperSnapper, our no-code IoT platform. This light sensor is super handy for Internet-of-Things projects where you’ll need to detect and/or log light ranges (this sensor can detect from 188 uLux up to 88,000 Lux).
Simply wire this sensor up to your board (or snap-to-connect with the STEMMA connectors on the Adafruit TSL2591 Breakout), load the latest WipperSnapper firmware on your board and create a new TSL2591 light sensor component. Values from the TSL2591 will be published on the internet – no programming involved!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
