Introduction

Driver for the Sparkfun AS7265x spectral sensors based on Adafruit AS726x circuitpython library

Installation and Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython
• Bus Device
• Register

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Usage Example

import board
import busio
import time
from sparkfun_triad import AS7265x_I2C
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA, frequency = 100000) # or 400000

time.sleep(1)

sensor = AS7265x_I2C(i2c)

sensor.device = 0
sensor.indicator_led = True # needed for turning off later
sensor.indicator_led = False
#sensor.driver_led = True
#sensor.device = 1
#sensor.driver_led = True
#sensor.device = 2
#sensor.driver_led = True

a = 0

time.sleep(1)

while True:
    time.sleep(0.01)
    sensor.device = 0
    r610, r680, r730, r760, r810, r860 = sensor.channel0, sensor.channel1, sensor.channel2, sensor.channel3, sensor.channel4, sensor.channel5
    time.sleep(0.01)
    sensor.device = 1
    r560, r585, r645, r705, r900, r940 = sensor.channel0, sensor.channel1, sensor.channel2, sensor.channel3, sensor.channel4, sensor.channel5
    time.sleep(0.01)
    sensor.device = 2
    r410, r435, r460, r485, r510, r535 = sensor.channel0, sensor.channel1, sensor.channel2, sensor.channel3, sensor.channel4, sensor.channel5
    time.sleep(0.1)
    print({'id':a, '410':r410, '435':r435, '460':r460, '485':r485, '510':r510, '535':r535, '560':r560,
