GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear customer, thank you for choosing our product. In the following, we will show you what to consider during commissioning and use. Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please feel free to contact us.
BASICS & CONNECTION OF THE MODULE
The module is equipped with a GUVA-S12SD photodiode, which can measure the
intensity of UV-B and UV-A rays.
The module can be connected as follows:
APPLICATION EXAMPLE ARDUINO
First connect the module to your Arduino:
| UV-SENSOR | ARDUINO |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| OUT | A0 |
| VCC | 5 V |
Now transfer the following code example to your Arduino. Alternatively you can
download it here.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE RASPBERRY PI
First connect the module to your Raspberry Pi.
ATTENTION! Please note that this sensor only outputs analog signals. These
cannot be processed directly by the Raspberry Pi. To use this module with a
Raspberry Pi an additional analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is required. Our
KY-053 Analog-Digital converter is suitable for this purpose:
| RASPBERRY PI | UV-SENSOR | KY-053 ADC |
|---|---|---|
| 3,3 V | VCC | VDD |
| GND | GND | GND |
| SDA | – | SDA |
| – | OUT | SCL |
| SCL | – | A0 |
To use the KY-053 analog-to-digital converter, you first need to install the
Adafruit CircuitPython ADS1x15 library. Therefore install it with the help of
the following command: sudo apt-get install python3-pip sudo pip3 install
adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15
Now enable the I2C interface by opening your config.txt file using the
following command: sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add the following line to the end of the file here: dtparam=i2c_arm=on
Save the file with the key combination [CTRL+O], confirm with [Enter] and now
exit the editor with the combination [CTRL+X]. Now install the I2C libraries
and the required dependencies: sudo apt-get install python3-smbus i2c-tools -y
Starten Sie nun Ihren Raspberry Pi neu: sudo reboot
Now transfer the following code example to your Raspberry Pi:
Alternatively, you can download the code sample here. You can use the
following commands for this purpose:
wget https://joy-it.net/files/files/Produkte/SEN-UV01/SEN-UV01-RPi
