CircuitPython driver for the `VEML6070 UV Index Sensor Breakout <https://www.adafruit.com/product/2899>`_
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.
Installing from PyPI
====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-veml6070/>`_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-veml6070
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-veml6070
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-veml6070
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python3
import time
import board
from adafruit_veml6070 import VEML6070
with board.I2C() as i2c:
uv = VEML6070(i2c)
# Alternative constructors with parameters
#uv = VEML6070(i2c, 'VEML6070_1_T')
#uv = VEML6070(i2c, 'VEML6070_HALF_T', True)
# take 10 readings
for j in range(10):
uv_raw = uv.uv_raw
risk_level = uv.get_index(uv_raw)
print('Reading: {0} | Risk Level: {1}'.format(uv_raw, risk_level))
time.sleep(1)
