Spectral sensing of light

In this session we'll introduce sensors for reading the spectral make-up of light, show you how to program with them on Arduino and web-based JavaScript, and talk about how they fit into our research on light and its effect on our sense of time.
In order to get the most out of this session, you should know how to program an Arduino, a little bit about I2C sensors, and a little about p5.js. It won't hurt you to know about chart.js as well. Finally, here's a link to the examples we'll go over.
This will be a hands-on session with sensors and Arduino. If you want to build along with us as we go, check out an AS7341 sensor and an Arduino Nano IoT from the shop desk.
