Interface ['i2c'] Qwiic Yes
The LTR-507 Breakout accurately measures light and proximity, offering easy I2C data communication for seamless integration with Arduino.

For very precise measurements of the amount of light, take this digital light sensor into account (ALS - Ambient Light Sensor). In addition, the LTR-507ALS also measures the proximity (PS - Proximity Sensor) of the object to the sensor. It sends all this data via I2C communication, which is easy to read via our Arduino library.
