Taking a Closer Look at the VEML7700 Qwiic Ambient Light Sensor
In today's video, we plug the VEML7700 Qwiic Ambient Light Sensor into the Web Serial Plotter!
When your project needs to do more than just detect if it's light or dark, you need a sensor that can measure brightness with precision and range. That's exactly where our new SparkFun VEML7700 Qwiic Ambient Light Sensor comes in. Let's shed a little more light and see what this impressive little sensor can do!

The SparkFun Qwiic VEML7700 Ambient Light Sensor provides accurate, 16-bit ambient light readings from 0 to 167,000 lux via the I2C interface. This miniature sensor (6.8mm x 3.0mm x 2.5mm) features a high-sensitivity photodiode, a low-noise amplifier, and a 16-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. Its unshifted 7-bit I2C address is 0x10.
In case you're interested, the SparkFun Web Serial Plotter is a browser-based tool for plotting CVS data from a serial com port. Similar to the Arduino IDE Serial Plotter, but in your browser. This is the same tool we used to compare all of the Spectral Sensors we carry in our catalog!
