Good value
Works well, but wish the documentation was slightly more detailed for beginners.
5 FAQ
Q: Is the Qwiic cable included?
A: The module comes with headers; Qwiic cables are sold separately.
Q: Is a library available for Arduino?
A: Yes, several open-source libraries support the VEML7700 on the Arduino IDE.
Q: What is the maximum lux range?
A: It can measure up to approximately 120,000 lux depending on integration time settings.
Q: Can I chain multiple sensors?
A: Yes, I²C allows multiple devices, but check address configuration options.
Q: Does this work with 5V logic?
A: The sensor operates at 3.3V. Use a level shifter if connecting to 5V microcontrollers.
