    The GUVA-S12SD UV sensor module outputs an analog voltage that varies with UV light intensity, corresponding to a UV index of 0-10. It simply connects to an Arduino analog input and its voltage can be read to determine the UV exposure. Code is provided to read the sensor voltage via analogRead() and print the results periodically to the serial monitor. Indoor testing showed a constant reading corresponding to a UV index of 0 as expected.

    Arduino and GUVA-S12SD UV Sensor

    The GUVA-S12SD UV Sensor chip is suitable for detecting the UV radiation in sunlight. It can be used in any application where you want monitor for the amount of UV light
    and is simple to connect to any microcontroller. I recently noticed that some sellers had little modules for this sensor at a reasonable price so decided to purchase one

    The module, with a typical UV detection wavelength of 200 370nm, outputs a calibrated analog voltage which varies with the UV light intensity so basically all you need to
    do is connect this to an ADC input and read in the value.
    This value ties in with the UV index, this looks something like this

    Connection
    The connections are straightforward and described below, I used 3.3v from my Arduino. This was mainly for compatibility with other development boards but the module
    works with 5v.
    1. GND: 0V (Ground)
    2. VCC: 3.3V to 5.5V
    3. OUT: 0V to 1V ( 0 to 10 UV Index)
    Layout
    As said its a simple layout but here you go

    Code
    Simple code example that reads the value at A0 and outputs the results via the serial monitor, if you use 5v rather than 3.3v then you will need to change the 3.3 in the
    following line
    sensorVoltage = sensorValue/1024*3.3;

    Source code
    void setup()
    {
    Serial.begin(9600);
    }
    void loop()
    {
    float sensorVoltage;
    float sensorValue;
    sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
    sensorVoltage = sensorValue/1024*3.3;
    Serial.print("sensor reading = ");
    Serial.print(sensorValue);
    Serial.println("");
    Serial.print("sensor voltage = ");
    Serial.print(sensorVoltage);
    Serial.println(" V");
    delay(1000);
    }

    Testing
    Open the serial monitor and look at the readings
    sensor reading = 46.00
    sensor voltage = 0.15 V
    sensor reading = 46.00
    sensor voltage = 0.15 V
    sensor reading = 46.00
    sensor voltage = 0.15 V
    sensor reading = 46.00
    sensor voltage = 0.15 V
    sensor reading = 46.00
    sensor voltage = 0.15 V

    If you look at the image earlier that corresponds to UV index of 0 which is a relief because I tested this indoors
