CircuitPython library for use with the Adafruit BH1750 Ambient Light Sensor Breakout
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.
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-bh1750To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bh1750To 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-bh1750import time
import board
import busio
import adafruit_bh1750
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
sensor = adafruit_bh1750.BH1750(i2c)
while True:
print("%.2f Lux"%sensor.lux)
