The following example receives data from a light sensor using I2C. Sensor used is the BH1750FVI Digital Light Sensor.
import time
from machine import I2C
import bh1750fvi
i2c = I2C(0, I2C.MASTER, baudrate=100000)
light_sensor = bh1750fvi.BH1750FVI(i2c, addr=i2c.scan()[0])
while(True):
data = light_sensor.read()
print(data)
time.sleep(1)
Place this sample code into a file named bh1750fvi.py. This can then be imported as a library.
# Simple driver for the BH1750FVI digital light sensor
class BH1750FVI:
MEASUREMENT_TIME = const(120)
def __init__(self, i2c, addr=0x23, period=150):
self.i2c = i2c
self.period = period
self.addr = addr
self.time = 0
self.value = 0
self.i2c.writeto(addr, bytes([0x10])) # start continuos 1 Lux readings every 120ms
def read(self):
self.time += self.period
if self.time >= MEASUREMENT_TIME:
self.time = 0
data = self.i2c.readfrom(self.addr, 2)
self.value = (((data[0] << 8) + data[1]) * 1200) // 1000
return self.value
This is the same code, with added LoRa connectivity, sending the lux value from the light sensor to another LoRa enabled device.
