SparkFun Photodetector Breakout
MAX30101 (Qwiic)
The SparkFun Photodetector Breakout is an updated version of the SparkFun Particle Sensor Breakout includes the MAX30101, a highly sensitive optical sensor and successor to the MAX30105 and MAX30102. The MAX30101 Breakout utilizes a photon detector to measure the amount of returning light that is reflected back from the LEDs. This is useful for various applications like particle (i.e. smoke) detection, proximity measurements, and even photoplethysmography. To make it even easier to use this breakout, all communication is enacted exclusively via I2C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system. However, we still have broken out 0.1" spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.

Photo Detector Testing
With the rise of 5G technology and popularization mobile devices, more and more advanced photoelectric sensors are used in our daily lives. In order to be better applied to mobile devices, the photosensitive area of these advanced photodetector is getting smaller and smaller. However, these applications place higher and higher requirements on the light sensing performance of advanced photodetectors. In the process of shrinking the photosensitive area, it also brings the challenge of accurate measurement of quantum efficiency. Enlitech adopts the spatial light homogenizing technology and follows the ASTM standard “Irradiance Mode” test method, which is proven that it can accurately perform quantum efficiency and other key parameter measurements of advanced photodetectors.

Solution for High Density I/O Applications
BitBox
The BitBox is BitFlow''s new solution for high density I/O applications. Many machine makers require a large number of computer managed I/O signals for continuous control of the system state. This means controlling devices such strobes, solenoids, actuators, indicators etc. as well as gathering inputs from photo-detectors, switches, encoders and triggers. In general, BitFlow frame grabbers come with a fairly large number of inputs and outputs, but for some system this is simply not enough. Most customers end up purchasing another device to manage the I/O, which adds expense, requires another slot, another driver and SDK, another manual, etc. The BitBox has been designed for just this situation. It is controlled completely from the frame grabber, uses the same API, driver and manuals as the frame grabber. This saves time, money, space, and learning curve.
