Need help for using the TSL2591 sensor

Other Hardware Sensors
1

Hello
Here I am a beginner on Arduino and it has been three weeks since I tried to operate an LED with the TSL2591 Light sensor so that when the brightness drops below a certain value the LED lights up. I have tried everything and its dont work. I think my problem is rather simple to solve but I cannot compare the value given by the sensor to the value I give for the IF loop

Thank you for your help

For informed help, please read and follow the instructions in the "How to get the best out of this forum" post, at the head of every topic.

Post the code, using code tags and explain what you expected to happen, and what happened instead.

I am having a problem with my eyes, I cannot see your schematic, it was a schematic and not a frizzy thing I hope. Please post it that will help us help you. When yo do that do not forget to post the code.

here the code normaly when the light level is under the thresholdvalue the led have switch on

#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>

#include <Adafruit_TSL2591.h>

int tempo=1;
#include <Wire.h>

int thresholdvalue=400;
const int pinLed = 13;
const int pinlight = SDA;

}

  // You can change the gain on the fly, to adapt to brighter/dimmer light situations
  //tsl.setGain(TSL2591_GAIN_LOW);    // 1x gain (bright light)

        delay(tempo);
    }

  }

That code won't even compile, because analogValue is not defined for the loop function.

void loop() 
{
  int sensorValue = analogRead(pinlight);
    delay(1000);
    
  if(analogValue < ANALOG_THRESHOLD)
  {

Start with one of the example programs and make sure you understand how it works before making any changes.

Hint: the function advancedRead() is a bit useless, because it prints stuff but returns no values.
