Hi!

First off, thanks for a great project. Im waiting for all my parts to arrive to I can go ahead and assemble it ! However, it seems quite hard to get the TSL 2561.. Do you have any suggestion of a "drop in replacement" for this part?

Hi. Since I froze this project I never looked for a drop in replacement. Still have some 20 pcs. I know TLS2561 is not available anymore although it can be found in Aliexpress. If you find any direct replacement please let me know. I was looking at https://www.digikey.bg/en/products/detail/ams/TSL25911FN/4162547 but it have different pins, so new PCB will be needed. I guess the best option is just to buy from Aliexpress as long as there is some stock.
