FAQ
Does this board come with a connector and if not, can you please provide the part number and manufacturer for it. Looks like Molex mini but am not sure.
What kind of transfer curve do you want? there are some curve in the datasheet.
can this be used to measure small(say .5 lux) changes in light intensity????
Well, it is only a simple analog sensor that could show you the relationship of the light intensity (within its detect range) and voltage (0-5V). If you want to transfer the voltage to unit in LUX, then well, it requires that you have a commercial Light Intensity Meter like this that can display LUX info, then you can match the readings to the sensor's analog reading, then you could a map to describe the relationship of voltage and ambient light density.
