regarded as an approximation to the actual temperature.

which is sensitive to visible light, much like the human eye. A resistor is connected in 
series with the light sensor providing a voltage proportional to the current passing 
through the light sensor.  An increasing current gives an increasing voltage across the 
series resistor, and this voltage is measured using the XMEGA ADC. Table 2-2 
shows the relationship between the ambient light in lux and the voltage measured. 
The table also provides some indication of what the different lux values represent in 
daily life.
