| """VEML6031x00 light sensor manager for CircuitPython. | ||
|
|
||
| This module provides a CircuitPython implementation to interact with the | ||
| VEML6031/VEML6030 ambient light sensor family using direct I2C register | ||
| access. It mirrors the behavior of the Zephyr driver with support for | ||
| single-measurement (active force) mode and data-ready polling. | ||
|
|
||
| Usage: | ||
| logger = Logger() | ||
| i2c = initialize_i2c_bus(logger, board.SCL, board.SDA, 100000) | ||
| sensor = VEML6031x00Manager(logger, i2c) | ||
| lux = sensor.get_lux() | ||

The condition
self._als_lux == 0incorrectly treats a valid zero lux reading (complete darkness) as an error. Zero is a legitimate light level in dark environments. This check should only validateNone, or better yet, remove this validation since the calculation sets_als_luxto a float and overflow is already checked earlier.
