MicroPython VCNL4010 Library¶

`vcnl4010`¶

MicroPython Driver for the Vishay VCNL4010 Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor

class micropython_vcnl4010.vcnl4010.VCNL4010(i2c, address: int = 0x13)[source]¶

Driver for the VCNL4010 Sensor connected over I2C.

Parameters:¶

Raises:¶

RuntimeError – if the sensor is not found

Quickstart: Importing and using the device

Here is an example of using the VCNL4010 class. First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor

from machine import Pin, I2C
from micropython_vcnl4010 import vcnl4010

Once this is done you can define your machine.I2C object and define your sensor object

i2c = I2C(1, sda=Pin(2), scl=Pin(3))
vcnl4010 = vcnl4010.VCNL4010(i2c)

Now you have access to the attributes

property ambient_light_average : str¶

Sensor ambient_light_average

property ambient_light_rate : str¶

Sensor ambient_light_rate

property irl_led_current : int¶: IR LED current = Value (dec.) x 10 mA. Valid Range = 0 to 20d. e.g. 0 = 0 mA , 1 = 10 mA, …., 20 = 200 mA (2 = 20 mA = DEFAULT) LED Current is limited to 200 mA for values higher as 20d.

property proximity_rate : str¶

Sensor proximity_rate
