GY-ML8511 Ultraviolet Sensor Module

Introducing the GY-ML8511 Ultraviolet Sensor Module, an easy-to-use device for measuring ultraviolet light. This sensor operates by producing an analog signal that corresponds to the level of UV light detected.

The breakout has the potential to be extremely useful in developing tools that alert users of sunburn or analyze the UV index in relation to weather patterns.

The sensor is highly sensitive to 280-390nm light, particularly within the UVB (burning rays) and UVA (tanning rays) spectrum. The resulting analog voltage corresponds directly to the intensity of UV measured in mW/cm2.

To obtain a reading of UV light intensity, just connect the module’s output to an ADC channel on the microcontroller.

Using a pin, you can attach your badge to your shirt or bag.
The VIN power connection accepts a voltage range of 3V to 5V.
The 3.3V signal is generated by the onboard regulator.
The abbreviation GND stands for Ground.
