Illuminate your projects with precision using our new OPT4001 Ambient Light Sensor board! This tiny powerhouse packs a whopping 28-bit resolution and 1.6ksps sampling rate into a STEMMA QT/Qwiic compatible package, making it perfect for all your light-sensing needs.

Key Features:

• High precision 28-bit ambient light sensing
• Fast 1.6ksps sampling rate
• Spectral response closely matched to human eye
• Excellent infrared rejection
• Wide 117klux dynamic range (SOT-5X3 variant)
  
• Low power consumption: 30μA active, 2μA standby
• STEMMA QT/Qwiic compatible for solderless connectivity
• Supports I2C communication up to 2.6MHz

Whether you're building an adaptive lighting system, monitoring environmental conditions, or creating light-responsive art installations, the OPT4001 delivers the accuracy and speed you need. Its human eye-like spectral response ensures your measurements align with real-world perception, while the superior IR rejection provides reliable readings even under challenging lighting conditions.

We're excited to offer this board for pre-order, with shipments planned to begin before the end of November 2024. To get you up and running quickly, we'll be providing full driver support for CircuitPython, Arduino, and Zephyr.
