ML8511 v1.0.0

Release Note: ML8511 UV Sensor Library
Version: 1.0.0
Release Date: March 16, 2025

Overview:

This is the initial release of the ML8511 UV Sensor Library, designed to interface with the ML8511 sensor for measuring ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The library enables accurate UV intensity measurements, UV index calculation, and supports extensive customization options for better usability across various applications.

Features:

• UV Intensity Measurement: Provides precise readings of UV radiation in configurable units, including mW/cm², W/m², μW/cm², and more.
• UV Index Calculation: Converts UV radiation levels into a meaningful UV Index for exposure monitoring.
• Sensor Calibration: Allows the user to fine-tune the sensor with custom calibration voltages for increased accuracy.
• Over-Sampling Support: Smooths sensor readings using adjustable oversampling factors.
• Configurable Units: Supports multiple measurement units for different use cases.
• Serial Debugging: Includes optional serial logging for debugging and monitoring sensor output.
• Compatibility: Supports a variety of platforms, including Arduino, ESP32, RP2040, STM32, and SAMD boards.

Installation:

The library can be installed by copying it to the libraries folder of your Arduino directory. Detailed instructions are available in the README.

Known Issues:

• None reported for this initial release. If you encounter any issues, please report them via the project’s repository.
