The Sensorian is an add-on hardware designed for the Raspberry Pi. This add-on hardware comes with different types of sensors, including a light sensor, barometer, accelerometer, LCD display interface, flash memory, capacitive touch sensors, and a real-time clock.
The sensors on this add-on hardware is sufficient to learn using all the communication interfaces discussed in this chapter:
Sensorian hardware stacked on top of the Raspberry Pi Zero
In this section, we will discuss an example where we will measure the ambient light levels using a Raspberry Pi Zero via the I2C interface. The sensor on the add-on hardware board is the APDS-9300 sensor (www.avagotech.com/docs/AV02-1077EN).
