That's when I realized that I had an unused BH1750 light meter module laying around, which I bought some time ago but never used it.

The new design allows programming with pogo pins or a small pin header soldered to the pogo pads for debugging, all with the same cable. The footprint uses surface mount pads only, so it can be placed on even the most compact board layouts. The ST-link adapter I designed a small PCB w ...
