Sensor Board Guide www.vishay.com Vishay Semiconductors Sensor Board Guide for VEML6035-SB INTRODUCTION The sensor board gives you the opportunity to evaluate the digital sensor. With a sensor board you can evaluate the sensor without thinking about a hardware solution for your development kit. If you also want to start directly with the evaluation of the sensor, you can easily purchase the complete system solution from Vishay including the SensorXplorer and a software module for the sensor. Then you can immediately start to evaluate the properties of the sensor itself. SensorXplorer The SensorXplorer is a demonstration kit designed to help evaluate Vishays digital sensors featured on Vishays sensor boards. These boards, along with their respective software modules, can be used to demonstrate and test each sensors functionalities, allowing the user to quickly understand how various settings affect the sensors results. The SensorXplorer board includes an 2 USB to I C interface chip, a 3.3 V regulator, several indicator LEDs, as well as multiple GPIOs to control the functionality of each board and allow data to be read and displayed on a PC. To get an overview of available sensor boards, as well as to downloa d the software modules and board design files, please visit: www.vishay.com/optoelectronics/SensorXplorer. Here you will also find a link next to each board showing its availability at each of our distributors.
