Pimoroni BH1745 Luminance and Colour Sensor Breakout

This sophisticated and accurate colour and luminance sensor breakout is Raspberry Pi and Arduino compatible. Detect RGB colour, measure light levels, and enjoy features like 50/60Hz light noise rejection, a wide detection range, and dual illumination LEDs.

Discover the technology found in phones, tablets, and laptops, where they detect ambient light temperature to adjust display colour temperatures. This breakout, with an I2C interface, is 3.3V or 5V compatible, designed for easy integration with right-angle headers to plug directly into your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header.

Now even more versatile, the updated BH1745 breakout includes a Qw/ST connector, effortlessly pairing with Qw/ST enabled boards using a four-pin JST-SH cable. It's compatible with Breakout Garden, streamlining your project creation and experimentation.

Feature Highlights:

• BH1745 luminance and colour sensor
• Two white illumination LEDs
• Detection range from 0.005 to 40,000 lux
• 16-bit data output
• Reverse polarity protection

Use the included Python library for data reading and the easy one-line installer. Compatible with Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Pico using C++ or MicroPython libraries. Change the I2C address for multiple sensor setups and enjoy the compact dimensions of 19x19x3mm.
