Solution 37682: TI-Innovator™ Hub on-board BRIGHTNESS Sensor intermittent reading issues with LED lighting.

Why does the on-board BRIGHTNESS Sensor have intermittent reading issues with LED lighting?

The on-board BRIGHTNESS Sensor will have intermittent reading issues with LED lighting because the readings of the BRIGHTNESS sensor toggle between max and min brightness readings caused by the flickering of the LED lights.

This happens more frequently when the LED lights are in a lowered brightness setting.

LED lighting has flickering normally too fast for the human eye to see but they are shown in sensor readings. User could average or avoid these spots for analysis purposes.
