Hobby Boards Solar Radiation sensor

[gordijn]

Hi all,

I've just received the solar radiation sensor from Hobby Boards.
The sensor (on channel 3) reads between 0 and 0.02 volt.
Is this the normal range?

Best regards,

It should read somewhere between 0 volts and 250mV depending on the amount of light.

Hi Eric,

We had a very sunny day here in The Netherlans, but even then the sensor does not come above 0.03 volt.
I can read all other values (eg the temperature),
and I also a difference in volts for the light sensor, but it does not come aboce 0.03 volt.

What software are you using to read the device?
