Adafruit VEML6075 UVA UVB and UV Index Sensor Breakout

This little sensor is a top choice for adding UVA and UVB light sensing to any microcontroller project. The VEML6075 from Vishay offers reliable and precise measurements using true UVA and UVB band light sensors and an I2C-controlled ADC for seamless data integration.

Its built-in calibration registers simplify the conversion of UVA/UVB readings into the UV Index, ensuring accuracy. Unlike the Si1145, which lacks a real UV sensor, and the VEML6070, the VEML6075 provides dual-band sensors and features an Index calculation algorithm, making it superior in delivering precise UV data.

Compatible with both 3V and 5V power or logic, the sensor is compact and user-friendly with any I2C-capable microcontroller. It includes example code and libraries for Arduino and CircuitPython/Python. Each order contains an assembled PCB with sensor, power regulator, level shifting, and a small header piece, with minimal soldering needed for attachment. Perfect for those looking to enhance their projects with accurate UV sensing capabilities!
