779

Overview

Adafruit Industries LLC part number 779 is a breakout board designed for the AS7262 spectral sensor. This component integrates a six-channel visible light and color sensor, enabling precise detection of specific wavelengths within the visible spectrum. The board facilitates connectivity through STEMMA QT connectors, supporting I2C communication protocols for integration with microcontroller platforms. It operates within a standard voltage range suitable for common development environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrates AS7262 six-channel visible light and color sensor
• Supports I2C communication via STEMMA QT interface
• Enables precise spectral data acquisition in the visible range

Applications

• Color recognition systems
• Spectral analysis prototypes
• Visible light sensing applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer product number matches Adafruit 779 to ensure correct AS7262 sensor integration. Confirm that the received unit includes the necessary breakout board components and STEMMA QT connectors as specified. Cross-reference datasheets for electrical characteristics and pinout configurations prior to implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when visible spectrum spectral data is required rather than broad ambient light measurement. The integrated STEMMA QT interface simplifies wiring compared to traditional breadboard setups. Ensure the application environment provides stable power supply levels compatible with the sensor's operational voltage requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to Adafruit's optical sensor development tool category. It serves as an evaluation platform for the AS7262 sensor, allowing developers to test spectral sensing capabilities without designing custom PCB layouts. The board bridges the gap between raw sensor components and functional prototyping.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for direct replacement.
