Pinouts
The default I2C address is 0x39.
Power Pins
- VIN - this is the power pin. To power the board, give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 5V microcontroller like Arduino, use 5V. For a 3.3V microcontroller, use 3.3V.
- GND - common ground for power and logic.
I2C Logic Pins
- SCL - I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. This pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- SDA - I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C data line. This pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- STEMMA QT - These connectors allow you to connect to dev boards with STEMMA QT connectors or to other things with various associated accessories.
Other Pins
- SYNC - The SYNC pin is an input that can trigger synchronous readings from the TSL2585 with an external pulse. It can also be configured as an open drain GPIO pin.
- INT - The interrupt pin is an open drain output and can be configured to alert you when a sensor conversion is complete.
Power LED and Jumper
- Power LED - In the upper left corner, above the STEMMA QT connector, on the front of the board, is the power LED, labeled on. It is a green LED.
- LED jumper - This jumper is located on the back of the board and is labeled LED on the board silk. Cut the trace on this jumper to cut power to the "on" LED.
