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-mlx90395

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mlx90395

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-mlx90395

Usage Example¶

from time import sleep
import board
import busio
from adafruit_mlx90395 import MLX90395, OSR

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
sensor = MLX90395(i2c)
while True:
    mag_x, mag_y, mag_z = sensor.magnetic

    print("X1:{0:10.2f}, Y:{1:10.2f}, Z:{2:10.2f} uT".format(mag_x, mag_y, mag_z))
    print("")

    sleep(0.5)
