== Ambient Light Sensor Notes ==
 +
The BH1730 outputs 2 values. Visible light and IR light. This is then calculated through an algorithm that checks for Gain, Measurement time, filter qualities and ouputs lux (max correct measurement of 100K lux).
 +
The default values are Gain 64x and ITIME of 38 (256 - 218). This allows for a max lux value of 17972 lux when visible light value is maximum and IR light is 0. When both of them are on their limit, the output is 1192 lux.
 +
The sensor is fully configurable.

Note: if bAbove13k = 1 then the real lux value equals to (13000 - fLux) + 13000 and caps out at ~25000.
+
Note: if bOverLimit=1 and the default ALS configuration is used, the measurement of fLux should not be considered and the actual max value depends on the type of light. Ranges from 12.5K - 17.5K.
