Featuring ±12% accuracy and 28.6 nW/cm² sensitivity, it offers precise optical inspection in a compact, breadboard-friendly Qwiic I2C or serial interface—no soldering required. Ideal for professionals and makers seeking advanced, plug-and-play spectroscopy capabilities. ## Description The SparkFun Triad Spectroscopy Sensor is a powerful optical inspection sensor. Three AS7265x spectral sensors are combined alongside a visible, UV, and IR LEDs to illuminate and test various surfaces for light spectroscopy. The Triad is made up of three sensors; the AS72651, the AS72652, and the AS72653 and can detect the light from 410nm (UV) to 940nm (IR). In addition, 18 individual light frequencies can be measured with precision down to 28.6 nW/cm2 and accuracy of +/-12%. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard. The SparkFun Triad Spectroscopy Sensor communicates over I2C by default or over 115200bps serial. We’ve written a fully formed Arduino library to access all the various features include taking readings and illuminating LEDs all over the Qwiic I2C interface. In addition, the Triad can be setup to communicate over serial. The serial interface uses an AT command set. What can you do with light spectroscopy? It’s an amazing field of study, and the SparkFun Triad brings what used to be prohibitively expensive equipment to the desktop. The AS7265x should not be confused with highly complex photon spectrometers, but the sensor array does give the user the ability to measure and characterize how different materials absorb and reflect 18 different frequencies of light. We’ve also written a full Arduino library that makes reading and interacting with the Triad simple and easy! The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sensor de humedad y temperatura *by D***A on March 29, 2023* Me gustó, lo voy a utilizar para medir humedad y temperatura ### ⭐⭐⭐ Looks promising *by A***R on March 3, 2020* Documentation and examples limited. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite purchases! *by F***S on August 18, 2021* 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - SparkFun Triad Spectroscopy Sensor - AS7265x Optical Inspection Breakout Combines Visible UV IR LEDs w/Three Spectral sensors Vcc 3.3V Qwiic I2C Serial Breadboardable or No Soldering Required - SparkFun Spectral Sensor Breakout - AS7263 NIR (Qwiic) - Near Infrared Sensor Communicates via I2C Interface and Serial Interface Using at Commands Easy Hookup No Soldering Onboard LED - I2C Qwiic Cable Kit Stemma QT Wire for SparkFun Development Boards Sensor Board Breakout Breadboard 4 Pin Sh1.0 Connector --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/125657564-sparkfun-triad-spectroscopy-sensor-as7265x-optical-inspection-breakout-combines-visible](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/125657564-sparkfun-triad-spectroscopy-sensor-as7265x-optical-inspection-breakout-combines-visible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-30*
