VEML3328 - RGBCIR Color Sensor

The VEML3328 driver provides an easy way to interface with the RGBCIR color sensor on the AVR-IoT Cellular Mini development board.

Installation​

GitHub release (latest by date)

The code can be found at GitHub. This driver is also available in the Arduino Library Manager.

In Arduino IDE, click on the Tools -> Manage libraries... dropdown menu. Search for AVR-IoT VEML3328 as depicted in the screenshot below and click install.

Examples​

Various examples can be found in the GitHub repo for extracting the color values and configuring the sensor. To get started extracting the RGB color values, the following example provides a starting point:

#include <veml3328.h> 

#define SerialDebug Serial3

void setup() {
    SerialDebug.begin(115200);

    if (Veml3328.begin()) {
        SerialDebug.println("Error: could not start VEML3328 library");
    }
}

void loop() {

    SerialDebug.println();
    SerialDebug.printf("Red: %u\r\n", Veml3328.getRed());
    SerialDebug.printf("Green: %u\r\n", Veml3328.getGreen());
    SerialDebug.printf("Blue: %u\r\n", Veml3328.getBlue());
    SerialDebug.printf("IR: %u\r\n", Veml3328.getIR());
    SerialDebug.printf("Clear: %u\r\n\r\n", Veml3328.getClear());

    delay(2000);
}
