Dependencies¶
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Usage Example¶
Of course, you must import the library to use it:
import busio
import adafruit_amg88xx
The way to create an I2C object depends on the board you are using. For boards with labeled SCL and SDA pins, you can:
import board
You can also use pins defined by the onboard microcontroller through the microcontroller.pin module.
Now, to initialize the I2C bus:
i2c_bus = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
Once you have created the I2C interface object, you can use it to instantiate the AMG88xx object
amg = adafruit_amg88xx.AMG88XX(i2c_bus)
You can also optionally use the alternate i2c address (make sure to solder the jumper on the back of the board if you want to do this)
amg = adafruit_amg88xx.AMG88XX(i2c_bus, addr=0x68)
Pixels can be then be read by doing:
print(amg.pixels)
