# lsm303d-python

Python library for the LSM303D I2C accelerometer/magnetometer

## Usage

1. Install the Python `smbus` module for your platform (`sudo apt install python-smbus` for Debian or Ubuntu Linux)

2. `pip install lsm303-python`

3. `sudo lsm303_test`

## Example Code

```python

import time

import smbus

import lsm303

i2c_channel = 1

bus = smbus.SMBus(i2c_channel)

# Will raise OSError if device is not connected

device = lsm303.LSM303(bus)

while True:

    # Returns x,y,z tuple with values in degrees/second

    accel_data = device.read_accel()

    # Returns x,y,z tuple with values in microtesla

    mag_data = device.read_mag()

    print(

        [round(v, 2) for v in accel_data],

        [round(v, 2) for v in mag_data]

    )

    time.sleep(0.1)

```
