Ltr 507 - Overview

LTR-507​

The LTR-507 Breakout board offers precise ambient light (ALS) and proximity (PS) measurements, transmitting data via I2C communication for easy integration with microcontrollers such as Dasduino. The device supports an interrupt feature that eliminates the need to poll the sensor for a reading, thereby improving system efficiency.
