# uoaklux(4)

Toradex OAK USB illuminance sensor

## NAME

**uoaklux** – Toradex OAK USB illuminance sensor

## SYNOPSIS

**uoaklux\* at uhidev?**

## DESCRIPTION

The **uoaklux** driver provides support for the Toradex OAK LUX. The sensor possesses a collection of sensor values which are made available through the [sysctl(8)](/sysctl/8.md) interface.

The illuminance date unit is "Lux". Because the sensing cycle of the illuminance sensor is faster than the sensor framework update period, the driver keeps maximum/minimum/average values as independent sensors.

The device has a unique serial number, indicated in the description part of the sensor value.
