Selling a TSL230 Light to Frequency converter, i can send it in a envelope and i have a static bag, the original little paper description and the conductive foam. I can supply pictures if you guys want. Also I used the chip all of about 3 times. Nevermind I'm not selling anymore

It senses light and outputs a frequency that goes higher as the intensity of lights gets brighter. So, to read a light intensity, you count pulses for, say, 1 second. It can output frequencies from around 0 Hz up to around 1 MHz, but you can adjust its sensitivity, etc. in case your microprocessor can't count that fast (or that high).
