UV Sensor that shows current UV intensity and accumulated UV

Other Hardware Sensors

Hi,

I am new to this and I am trying to build a UV sensor that reads the current UV intensity, time in seconds and accumulated UV Dose. I am using the ML8511 and used their code to get it working, now I am just trying to get it to show different outputs. Right now the intensity seems to be working, but the dose and time is important as well.

Thanks,

Greg

The sensor just does intensity. You have to calculate the dose and time in your code.

Thanks Mark. I found the formula: W/cm2 multiplied by time. Thanks.

Yes, that is how to integrate!

hello goodnight I'm using the ml8511 uv sensor and saw its code but I do not understand these float values uvIntensity = mapfloat (outputVoltage, 0.99, 2.8, 0.0, 15.0); how do you get.
I hope an answer thanks
