Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Light.Tsl2591 1.13.0

Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Light.Tsl2591

Tsl2591 I2C high dynamic range light sensor

The Tsl2591 library is included in the Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Light.Tsl2591 nuget package and is designed for the Wilderness Labs Meadow .NET IoT platform.

This driver is part of the Meadow.Foundation peripherals library, an open-source repository of drivers and libraries that streamline and simplify adding hardware to your C# .NET Meadow IoT applications.

Installation

You can install the library from within Visual studio using the the NuGet Package Manager or from the command line using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Light.Tsl2591

Usage

private Tsl2591 sensor;

public override Task Initialize()
{
    Resolver.Log.Info("Initialize...");

    // configure our sensor on the I2C Bus
    var i2c = Device.CreateI2cBus();
    sensor = new Tsl2591(i2c);

    // Example that uses an IObservable subscription to only be notified when the filter is satisfied
    var consumer = Tsl2591.CreateObserver(
        handler: result => Resolver.Log.Info($"Observer: filter satisfied: {result.New.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux, old: {result.Old?.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux"),
        // only notify if the visible light changes by 100 lux (put your hand over the sensor to trigger)
        filter: result =>
        {
            if (result.Old is { } old)
            {
                // returns true if > 100lux change
                return ((result.New.VisibleLight.Value - old.VisibleLight.Value).Abs().Lux > 100);
            }
            return false;
        });
    sensor.Subscribe(consumer);

    // classical .NET events can also be used:
    sensor.Updated += (sender, result) =>
    {
        Resolver.Log.Info($"  Integrated Light: {result.New.Integrated?.Lux:N2}Lux");
    };

    sensor.InfraredUpdated += (sender, result) =>
    {
        Resolver.Log.Info($"  Infrared Light: {result.New.Lux:N2}Lux");
    };

    sensor.VisibleLightUpdated += (sender, result) =>
    {
        Resolver.Log.Info($"  Visible Light: {result.New.Lux:N2}Lux");
    };

    sensor.FullSpectrumUpdated += (sender, result) =>
    {
        Resolver.Log.Info($"  Full Spectrum Light: {result.New.Lux:N2}Lux");
    };

    return Task.CompletedTask;
}

public override async Task Run()
{
    var result = await sensor.Read();
    Resolver.Log.Info("Initial Readings:");
    Resolver.Log.Info($"  Full Spectrum Light: {result.FullSpectrum?.Lux:N2}Lux");
    Resolver.Log.Info($"  Infrared Light: {result.Infrared?.Lux:N2}Lux");
    Resolver.Log.Info($"  Visible Light: {result.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux");
    Resolver.Log.Info($"  Integrated Light: {result.Integrated?.Lux:N2}Lux");

    sensor.StartUpdating(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
}
