Adafruit AS7341 10-Channel Light / Color Sensor Breakout

The Adafruit AS7341 10-Channel Light/Color Sensor Breakout is a multi-channel spectrometer that illuminates the unseen spectrum. Within its compact 3x2mm footprint are 16 sensors that can distinguish eight distinct, overlapping bands of colored light, white light, and Near Infra-red light, far surpassing human capabilities.

This sensor features specialty flicker detection sensors, adept at identifying light flicker from artificial lighting. Its capability to quantify color composition with unparalleled precision rivals that of a seasoned artist, enabling you to differentiate even the subtle nuances between shades like Smalt and Ultramarine with ease.

The AS7341 communicates through a 16-bit 6-channel ADC, utilizing a super multiplexing (SMUX) feature for routing 11 sensor elements to appropriate channels. With GPIO and interrupt pins, direct communication with microcontrollers or additional sensors is seamless.

Designed for accessibility, this sensor is mounted on a STEMMA QT form-factor breakout board with level shifting circuitry and SparkFun Qwiic-compatible Stemma QT connectors. Effortlessly integrate it into a 3.3V or 5V microcontroller such as Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi, or CircuitPython-compatible boards without soldering.
