I'm pretty sure it can be. There are a few lines that are using the colour info from the BH1750 but they could be refined a bit. The other option is to use basic components (photodiode) with the speed needed for a flash mode. Maybe someone could chip in on how to refine the light measurement.
How are the RGB values being used for calculation? As 1750 won't have RBG values any idea how can we bypass it ?
They are only used in determining the colour of the EV reading. It should be easy to bypass.
Do you recommend any default value for RGB ?
I would just set it to white (255,255,255)
@Mojojojooo BH1745 is not unavailable.
Pimoroni keeps it in stock regularly: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/bh1745-luminance-and-colour-sensor-breakout?variant=12767599755347
@polygonfuture I mean to say it's hard to get it in India. So I was looking for an alternative.
Figuring out what hardware we need to use to add a flash mode would be good. I will retry my experiments with a basic photodiode, but I am still hoping someone with experience of working at such high speeds will chip in.
Hi, I'm planning to build this and currently BH1745( Colour and luminance sensor) has been unavailable for a long time. Since the calculation part just shows that luminance is used. Can BH1750 which is just a luminance sensor be used instead of BH1745 ?
