How far are the detectors @ their most effective and distance to worst effective?

Hello! Unfortunately, this has not been tested by SparkFun. You would want to run some experiments to determine the worst and most effective distances. The Data sheet might have some useful info, but will need to test in your specific set up. Also, the optional PTH LED's would change the effective distances.

One of my favorite purchases!

This Triad sensor has been fun to use. The cost is affordable considering how useful it is. One project used the SparkFun Triad Spectroscopy to compare well water. The sensor was connected to a SparkFun Qwiic MUX board which was connected to SeeedStudio's WIO Terminal. The 18 measurements were displayed directly o the WIO Terminal and also written to the micro SD card. An I2C RTC provided a date/time stamp for the file name and each test recorded in the file. I also used the sensor to compare different brands of coffee!
