GYML8511 Analog Output Ultra-Violet Light Sensor Module
The GYML8511 Analog Output Ultra-Violet Light Sensor Module is a user-friendly UV light sensor that outputs an analog signal based on the detected UV light levels.
This module is particularly useful for creating devices that alert users about sunburn risks or monitor the UV index in relation to weather conditions. It effectively detects light in the 280-390 nm range, covering most of the UVB (burning rays) spectrum and part of the UVA (tanning rays) spectrum. The output voltage is linearly correlated to the measured UV intensity (mW/cm²).
To use the sensor, simply connect its output to an ADC channel on your microcontroller to monitor UV light intensity.
