  • ALS interface - ALS Sensor is interfaced via I2C, IR emitters are driven by the ALS Sensor device

Overview


This product is no longer available for sale. 

The Light and Proximity delivers a compete optical sensing solution combining an Ambient Light Sensor for adjusting system settings based on ambient conditions, such as backlight strength to optimize power consumption, with three IR based emitters for use in proximity detection. The Osram ALS product drives the IR emitters directly with modulated patterns, so that it is easy to combine the multiple inputs and determine basic up / down, and left / right type gestures up to a range of several centimeters above the board.

This board is compatible with all of the AVR Xplain Series of controller boards offering a wide choice of AVR controllers for your solution.

Software
