Nice idea with coupling with psoc4. Meanwhile I needed to check how does a photodiode works to do same thing

Great progress, Anthony!

Keep in mind you have a couple Current DACs on the PSoC 4 ("IDAC") that are shared resources with the CapSense block. So, in case your design doesn't need any touch sensing, you have the option of using those IDACs for providing excitation current to your sensors where applicable.

good luck!

Good approach.

I always say, keep it simple.

Once you have the basic requirements covered, then you can tie in other sensor points to exploit all of the data read by the light detector.
