Gravity: Analog Ambient Light Sensor

This Gravity: Analog ambient light sensor can assist you in detecting light density and provide an analog voltage signal to the controller as feedback. Additionally, you have the ability to trigger other components within your project by setting voltage thresholds. To facilitate easier usage of the ambient light sensor, this product is designed with a universal Gravity interface that can be plugged in without requiring soldering. Two screw holes allow you to fasten it to any desired location. Making messy DuPont wires and complex connections a thing of the past and enabling you to focus your energy on your creative designs.

Fermion: BLE Sensor Beacon

BLE Beacon, also known as Low Energy Bluetooth Beacon, is a small wireless device that broadcasts signals using BLE technology. Due to its broadcast nature, pairing is not required between the beacon and receiving devices. Each beacon contains a unique identifier, detectable by nearby devices equipped with Bluetooth technology, such as ESP32 and smartphones supporting BLE scanning.

This Bluetooth beacon has a built-in 11-bit ADC, Fermion version, and multiple I/Os that can be multiplexed to SDA/SCL while broadcasting over Bluetooth. Users can access sensor data within broadcast range on a Bluetooth-equipped device such as a Smartphone or ESP32. This BLE beacon has a built-in 11-bit ADC and an I2C interface, allowing it to real-time collect and broadcast data from various types of sensors, including analog, digital, and I2C sensors.
