CircuitPython module for the NXP FXOS8700 accelerometer and magnetometer.

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-fxos8700/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fxos8700

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

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fxos8700

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-fxos8700

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

    import time
    import board
    import busio
    import adafruit_fxos8700

    i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
    sensor = adafruit_fxos8700.FXOS8700(i2c)

    while True:
        accel_x, accel_y, accel_z = sensor.accelerometer
        mag_x, mag_y, mag_z = sensor.magnetometer
        print('Acceleration (m/s^2): ({0:0.3f}, {1:0.3f}, {2:0.3f})'.format(accel_x, accel_y, accel_z))
        print('Magnetometer (uTesla): ({0:0.3f}, {1:0.3f}, {2:0.3f})'.format(mag_x, mag_y, mag_z))
        time.sleep(1.0)
