CircuitPython driver for TSL2561 Light Sensor.

Dependencies

=============

This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython `_

* `Bus Device `_

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:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tsl2561

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

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tsl2561

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name

    python3 -m venv .venv

    source .venv/bin/activate

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tsl2561

Usage Example

=============

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import board

    >>> import busio

    >>> i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

    >>> import adafruit_tsl2561

    >>> tsl = adafruit_tsl2561.TSL2561(i2c)

    >>> tsl.lux
