SparkFun AS7263 NIR Spectral Sensor

With the SparkFun AS7263 Near Infrared (NIR) Spectral Sensor, you can measure materials as they absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light. The AS7263 from Sparkfun is unique in its ability, as it can communicate both via an I2C interface and via a serial interface using AT commands. The sensor is connected via the Qwiic connectors or you can also solder in pin headers. The AS7263 spectrometer detects wavelengths in the visible range of 610, 680, 730, 760, 810, and 860nm, each with a 20nm full width half maximum limitation. The board has a built-in onboard LED. This allows objects to be illuminated so as to enable a more accurate spectroscopy measurement.
