Featuring a 16-bit ADC and dual Qwiic connectors, it offers seamless I2C integration and programmable LED drivers for customizable illumination. Designed for rapid prototyping within the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem, it empowers professionals to effortlessly measure and analyze material light absorption and reflection with lab-grade accuracy. ## Description The SparkFun AS7262 Visible Spectral Sensor Breakout brings spectroscopy to the palm of your hand, making it easier than ever to measure and characterize how different materials absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light. The AS7262 Breakout is unique in its ability to communicate by both an I2C interface and serial interface using AT commands. Hookup is easy, thanks to the Qwiic connectors attached to the board --- simply plug one end of the Qwiic cable into the breakout and the other into one of the Qwiic Shields, then stack the board on a development board. You’ll be ready to upload a sketch to start taking spectroscopy measurements in no time.The AS7262 spectrometer detects wavelengths in the visible range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 and 650nm of light each with 40nm of full-width half-max detection. The board also has multiple ways for you to illuminate objects that you will try to measure for a more accurate spectroscopy reading. There is an onboard LED that has been picked out specifically for this task, as well as two pins to solder your own LED into.NOTE: The I2C address of the AS7262 is 0x49 and is hardware defined. A multiplexer/Mux is required to communicate to multiple AS7262 sensors on a single bus. If you need to use more than one AS7262 sensor consider using the Qwiic Mux Breakout.The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong. ## Features - 6 visible channels: 450nm, 500nm, 550nm, 570nm, 600nm and 650nm, each with 40nm FWHM - Visible filter set realized by silicon interference filters - 16-bit ADC with digital access - Programmable LED drivers - 2.7V to 3.6V with I2C interface. 2x Qwiic connectors ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079424XL6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #536,136 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #26 in Lab Spectrometers | | Brand | SparkFun | | Built-In Media | Qwiic cable | | Compatible Devices | SparkFun Development Boards | | Connectivity Technology | I2C | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 out of 5 stars 3 Reviews | | Included Components | Qwiic cable | | Manufacturer | SparkFun Electronics | | Mfr Part Number | SEN-14347 | | Model Name | AS7262 Visible | | Model Number | SEN-14347 | | Operating System | Linux | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR4 | | Total Usb Ports | 2 | | UPC | 845156008353 | | Warranty Description | 30 Days | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SparkFun - **Connectivity Technology:** I2C - **Included Components:** Qwiic cable - **Model Name:** AS7262 Visible - **Operating System:** Linux ## Images ![SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7262 Visible (Qwiic)-detects wavelengths in The Visible Range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 & 650nm of Light Each w/ 40nm of Full-Width Half-max Detection-2.7V-3.6V - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61E59wNdT4L.jpg) ![SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7262 Visible (Qwiic)-detects wavelengths in The Visible Range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 & 650nm of Light Each w/ 40nm of Full-Width Half-max Detection-2.7V-3.6V - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NLQVZLm0L.jpg) ![SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7262 Visible (Qwiic)-detects wavelengths in The Visible Range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 & 650nm of Light Each w/ 40nm of Full-Width Half-max Detection-2.7V-3.6V - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oyMdG6EVL.jpg) ![SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7262 Visible (Qwiic)-detects wavelengths in The Visible Range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 & 650nm of Light Each w/ 40nm of Full-Width Half-max Detection-2.7V-3.6V - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pectVw0mL.jpg) ![SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7262 Visible (Qwiic)-detects wavelengths in The Visible Range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 & 650nm of Light Each w/ 40nm of Full-Width Half-max Detection-2.7V-3.6V - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WbYTuvalL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7262 Visible (Qwiic)-detects wavelengths in The Visible Range at 450, 500, 550, 570, 600 & 650nm of Light Each w/ 40nm of Full-Width Half-max Detection-2.7V-3.6V - SparkFun Qwiic Cable Kit Hook Up I2C Qwiic Development Boards in no time No Soldering Required Includes 10 Different Lengths Styles Breadboardable Polarized 4-pin JST Connector Daisy Chain-able --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/298579543-sparkfun-spectral-sensor-breakout-as7262-visible-qwiic-detects-wavelengths-in](https://www.desertcart.us/products/298579543-sparkfun-spectral-sensor-breakout-as7262-visible-qwiic-detects-wavelengths-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
