Dependencies¶
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Installing from PyPI¶
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mlx90939
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mlx90939
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mlx90939
Usage Example¶
import time
import board
import adafruit_mlx90393
i2c = board.I2C() # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
SENSOR = adafruit_mlx90393.MLX90393(i2c, gain=adafruit_mlx90393.GAIN_1X)
while True:
MX, MY, MZ = SENSOR.magnetic
print("[{}]".format(time.monotonic()))
print("X: {} uT".format(MX))
print("Y: {} uT".format(MY))
print("Z: {} uT".format(MZ))
# Display the status field if an error occured, etc.
if SENSOR.last_status > adafruit_mlx90393.STATUS_OK:
SENSOR.display_status()
time.sleep(1.0)
