const Address = 0x23

The I2C address which this device listens to.

Types

type Device

type Device struct {
	Address uint16
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Device wraps an I2C connection to a bh1750 device.

func New

func New(bus drivers.I2C) Device

New creates a new bh1750 connection. The I2C bus must already be configured.

This function only creates the Device object, it does not touch the device.

func (*Device) Configure

func (d *Device) Configure()

Configure sets up the device for communication

func (*Device) Illuminance

func (d *Device) Illuminance() int32

Illuminance returns the adjusted value in mlx (milliLux)

func (*Device) RawSensorData

func (d *Device) RawSensorData() uint16

RawSensorData returns the raw value from the bh1750

func (*Device) SetMode

func (d *Device) SetMode(mode SamplingMode)

SetMode changes the reading mode for the sensor

type SamplingMode

type SamplingMode byte

SamplingMode is the sampling's resolution of the measurement
