Update. We decided to try the SP510. Seems to work fine with the ADS1115 set to max gain (GAIN_SIXTEEN) with differential measurement. Resolution is 7.8 uV, or 0.14 W m^-2.

* Download both the D2XX driver and VCP…[Read more]

I have a really similar issue (12V powered sensor + SPI-12) that I would appreciate some advice on. We want to monitor solar radiation (shortwave) under forest canopy, for which common silicon diode pyranometers (e.g. Apogee SP212) are not suitable – a thermopile pyranometer is needed.
