Accurate UV Index
Compared with local weather app data. Correlation is very strong. Great for environmental monitoring setups.

Requires Calibration
Raw values need mapping to standard UV index. Documentation is sparse, but functional once calibrated.

Good value sensor
Works as described. Wish the cable was a bit longer for outdoor use, but the sensor itself is reliable.

Compact and Sturdy
Fits perfectly in my weather station enclosure. Fast response time and low power consumption.
Q: Is there a library available?
A: We recommend using standard analog read functions; no specific library is required.
Q: What is the maximum voltage input?
A: Do not exceed 5V DC to avoid damaging the sensor circuitry.
Q: Can I use this with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, but you need an ADC module since Pi lacks analog inputs.
Q: Is the module waterproof?
A: The PCB is not waterproof. Please use a waterproof enclosure for outdoor use.
Q: Does this measure UVA and UVB separately?
A: No, it provides a total UV intensity reading across the spectrum.
