ML8511 UV Sensor with ESP32
ML8511 UV Sensor Setup
Noise detection with KY-037 and the ESP32 in Arduino
Introduction
This project is for testing purpose and provides a working example to read out the UV intensity with the sensor ML8511. This sensor detects 280-390nm light most effectively which is categorised the UVB and most of the UVA spectrum. Do only use this sensor and project as an example. I do not guarantee correct readings, please protect yourself from the sun.
Usage
Just compile and upload the “.ino” file to the board, connect the sensor as shown below and the data will be shown in the serial terminal.
