Pmodals - Ambient Light Sensor

[jpcastellino]

Hi there,

 

Could you please share the part used for the phototransistor/light detector in the PmodALS board?

 

Thanks,

 

JP

Hi jpcastellino,

 

Actually, the part that you're looking for is the TEMT6000X01 by Vishay Semiconductor. Unfortunately, this is not listed on the schematic, but we will be sure to include it in our reference manual on our Wiki site for the PmodALS.

 

Thanks,

JColvin

Hello JP Castellino, 

You should be able to find the part that is used for any of our Pmods by looking at the schematic found on the product page.

>> DigilentInc.com>>Pmod>>Pmod ALS >> Download Schematic

 

 

 

alternatively, JColvin on the forums has done a really good job at adding additional documentation for our Pmods on our Wiki site. 

https://reference.digilentinc.com/pmod:pmod

 

If you scroll down to Pmod ALS-- then hit Reference Manual-- he has put the part number in the overview description!

 

Hope that helps!

Ah, thank you JColvin, looks like I misread the question and thought that was an easy answer :-)

I see you've already updated the wiki, thank you for correcting that and improving the documentation!

Thanks for your swift answers!

 

The schematic I had checked before only showed ALS1 as part number for the phototransistor.

 

This solves the mistery!

 

Cheers,

 

JP
