light sensor

Post by flok »

Why does the light sensor (TSL2591) have a (green) power led? And how can I disable it?
Because it give a 0,68 lux offset :-) (in a dark carton box)

It can be covered with tape or paint. Or you remove it from the board.

Covering was problematic (the light shone through any tape I tried) but soldering was effective. Was scared to do it, but it still works and there's no short.
thanks
