The Sparkfun AS7262 Visible Spectral Sensor Breakout brings spectroscopy to the palm of your hand and makes it easier than ever to measure and characterize the absorption and reflection of different wavelengths of light by different materials. The AS7262 Breakout is unique in its ability to communicate via an I2C interface as well as via a serial interface using AT commands. Thanks to the Qwiic plug attached to the board, the connection is simple - simply insert one end of the Qwiic cable into the breakout and the other end into one of the Qwiic shields, then stack the board on a development board. You can quickly upload a sketch to begin spectroscopic measurements.
The spectrometer AS7262 detects wavelengths in the visible range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 and 650nm light with 40nm half-value width each. The board also has several options for you to illuminate objects you will try to measure for more accurate spectroscopy measurement. There is an onboard LED specially selected for this task, as well as two pins for soldering in a separate LED.
