Perfect for Qwiic ecosystems
This module plugged straight into my SparkFun RedBoard without any soldering. The 16-bit resolution provides incredibly smooth readings for my automatic display brightness project. Highly recommended for rapid prototyping.

Solid performance for commercial use
We deployed these in a batch of smart home devices. They are consistent and reliable. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the breakout board is slightly larger than expected for ultra-compact enclosures.

High precision and easy integration
I've used several ambient light sensors, and the VEML7700 stands out for its wide dynamic range. It handles direct sunlight and dim indoor lighting equally well. The Qwiic connector is a huge time saver.

Excellent value
For the price, you get a high-quality sensor with a convenient connector. The noise rejection is good, providing stable readings without excessive filtering in software.

Great sensor, minor library issue
The hardware is excellent and very compact. I had a small hiccup finding the right library for my specific microcontroller, but once configured, the accuracy is impressive even in low light conditions.

Beginner friendly
As someone new to I2C sensors, this was very easy to set up. The documentation linked in the product description was clear, and I had data streaming to my serial monitor within minutes.
Q: Is this module compatible with 5V Arduino boards?
A: Yes, the module includes voltage regulation and level shifting, making it safe to use with 5V logic boards like the Arduino Uno via the Qwiic cable or header pins.
Q: Does this come with mounting holes?
A: Yes, the breakout board features four 2.5mm mounting holes at the corners to easily secure the sensor into your project enclosure.
Q: What is the maximum distance for the I2C communication?
A: Standard I2C protocols suggest keeping cable lengths under 30cm for reliability. However, with high-quality shielded Qwiic cables, users often achieve stable connections up to 1 meter depending on environmental noise.
Q: Is a separate driver required for Raspberry Pi?
A: No separate driver installation is typically needed. You can communicate with the sensor using standard Python I2C libraries like smbus2 or dedicated community-maintained packages available on PyPI.
Q: Can I change the integration time via software?
A: Absolutely. The VEML7700 allows you to configure integration times from 2.5ms to 800ms through the I2C register settings to balance between response speed and noise performance.
