Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the GY-30 BH1750FVI module?

The GY-30 module is designed to operate from 3.0V to 5.5V DC. This wide range allows it to be powered directly from a 3.3V logic microcontroller like an ESP32 or a 5V system like a standard Arduino Uno without requiring a level shifter.

How do I connect and read data from this sensor using I2C?

The module uses a standard I2C interface. Connect the VCC pin to 3.3V or 5V, GND to ground, SDA to your microcontroller's I2C data line, and SCL to the I2C clock line. The default I2C address is 0x23. You can use existing libraries for Arduino or Raspberry Pi to send measurement commands and read the 16-bit lux value.

Does the sensor require any calibration or external components?

No, the BH1750FVI IC is factory-calibrated and the GY-30 module includes all necessary pull-up resistors and support components. It provides a direct digital lux reading via I2C, eliminating the need for manual calibration or external analog circuitry like op-amps or additional ADCs.
