AS7263 LED does not emit NIR

Sensors Imaging

I have had a look at the schematic for the AS7263 NIR spectral sensor and it uses a luxeon 3014 LED, however page 6 of the datsheet https://lumileds.com/wp-content/uploads … S208-L.pdf shows that it does not emit light at 860nm, however the sensor says it can record light at 610, 680, 730, 760, 810 and 860nm - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14351 is this just using ambient light?

Many thanks

That’d be my guess; you can create a post here https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_Spect … 26X/issues and maybe an engineer can better answer

Thanks for that, I have posted in there now.

I guess you have to stick in your own IR led, strange that it’s not provided tho.
