DESCRIPTION
Detect six distinct channels of visible light with this fancy-pants spectral sensor! Unlike normal RGB colour sensors, with the AS7262 you’ll get six bands of colour readings that roughly translate to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Rainbow-y!
The two onboard white LEDs mean that you can illuminate materials to give more accurate spectral readings and also measure the reflectivity of surfaces. The LEDs we’ve used are really high-quality ones with a CRI of >=90 and a colour temperature of 4,000K for consistent and accurate colour rendering.
You can do all sorts of cool things with this sensor, like analysing different light sources, measuring the transmission of light through materials or solutions (with an additional light source), and more.
The AS7262 6-Channel Spectral Sensor Breakout has an I2C interface and is 3.3V or 5V compatible. You can solder a piece of right-angle header onto it and then pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9).
