GYML8511 Analog Output Ultra-Violet Light Sensor Module

This is the GYML8511 Ultra-Violet Light Sensor Module with Analog Output. The ultraviolet light sensor on the GYML8511 module is simple to operate. An analog signal is output by the GYML8511 Sensor in proportion to the amount of UV radiation that is detected.

This breakdown can be particularly useful for developing gadgets that alert users about sunburn or determine the UV index in relation to meteorological circumstances. This sensor works best at detecting light between 280 and 390 nm. This falls under the majority of the UVA (tanning rays) and UVB (burning rays) spectrums. It produces an analog voltage whose output is proportional to the UV intensity (mW/cm2) that has been measured.  To read the UV light intensity, just connect the module’s output to a microcontroller’s ADC channel.
