I’m new to this sensor so forgive my ignorance. For the Spectral Triad: [https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15050](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15050) is there a way to filter out high light conditions? For instance when I measure two similarly colored objects in direct sunlight and in shade the readings are obviously very different. Does the gain setting affect this? ---

Yes, the gain setting will change how the data is compared to the calibration. Be sure to go through each example in the hookup guide [https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … y-overview](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/spectral-triad-as7265x-hookup-guide?_ga=2.37392160.1207987095.1623077711-1853259630.1615791300#as7265x-arduino-library-overview) , especially example 3 - Settings, where the gain settings are adjustable. It looks like the default gain is 16x…you might create some code where it has a low-ight mode utilizing 16x and try the 3.7x or 1x for the high-light condition?
