UV Sensor

UV sensors measure the power or intensity of incident ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This form of electromagnetic radiation has shorter wavelengths than visible radiation, but is still longer than x-rays. UV sensors are used for determining exposure to ultraviolet radiation in laboratory or environmental settings. They are transmitters that respond to one type of energy signal by producing energy signals of a different type. Generally, these output signals are electrical signals that are routed directly to an electrical meter for observation and recording. The generated electrical signals from UV sensors can also be sent to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and then to a computer with software for generating graphs and reports.

Portable and rechargeable Ultraviolet (UV) radiation meter

“A lightweight, reliable, and completely portable ultraviolet (UV) radiation meter. Ever since suffering severe chemical burns, I could not expose myself to sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. Knowing how to deal with sunlight is an essential skill for anyone in similar …

The B.U.R.N. Meter: Rechargeable Arduino UV Index Meter

“Since summer rolled around and people are starting to flock to beaches again during these post-pandemic times, I decided to make a portable UV index meter for my more delicate-skinned friends so they can sunbathe responsbily - by keeping an eye …

BLE AI-driven Smartwatch Detecting Potential Sun Damage

“Log UV & weather data on an SD card to train an Edge Impulse model. Then, run it to get informed of sun damage over BLE via an Android app. Although many of us enjoy a sunny day in our leisure …

Local Weather Station

“A weather station that can show local atmospheric pressure, temperature humidity and UV index without any internet connection. For a long time, I wanted to make a weather station without using the internet. It is great to measure the weather …
