 A flashlight (fig 8) was used to provide light flash since the TSL2591 sensor does not have a built-in LED. It helps charge the phosphorescent stickers to simulate bioluminescence for testing. A flashlight (fig 8) was used to provide light flash since the TSL2591 sensor does not have a built-in LED.

 ===== 5. DISCUSSION ===== ===== 5. DISCUSSION =====
 The system, built with an Adafruit QT Py and TSL2591 sensor, successfully measured differences in light intensity between toxic and non-toxic samples. The dark box reduced outside light, improving the accuracy of the readings. Future improvements could include better wireless support and testing with real bioluminescent bacteria. The system, built with an Adafruit QT Py and TSL2591 sensor, successfully measured differences in light intensity between toxic and non-toxic samples.

 +==Limitations include :==
 +The system only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which limited wireless data transfer on 5 GHz networks.
 +
 +The light sensor was not sensitive enough to detect weak bioluminescence.
 +
 +Ambient light interference required full enclosure in a dark box.
 +
 +Data had to be logged manually due to connectivity issues.
 +
 +Phosphorescent stickers were used instead of real Vibrio fischeri; testing with actual bacteria is still needed for accurate validation.
