Replacing the AS7263 sensor with AS7341

Hi,

Do you know if i can Replace the AS7263 sensor in the SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7263 NIR product (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14351) with another sensor - AS7341 (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15500)

Is there anything else i need to do other than just replace it physically?

Not really.

Since each chip is physically different and has a different amount of pins, there’s no way to swap one for another. Even if you could make some sort of adapter, I don’t think the firmware for one chip would even run in the other.

It would be like trying to plug a toaster into your computer. Even if the right socket existed on the computer, the computer wouldn’t know what to do with a toaster.

tnx that helps alot!

Ok, so now if i need to build this kind of a sensor - can you provide help (paid) or the only way for me is to find freelancer for that?

Unfortunately we can't assist with this, you'd need to hire a contract engineer to do that for you. Sadly I don't have any recommendations for you for a freelancer.
