adafruit-circuitpython-lsm303 1.2.1

Introduction

Adafruit CircuitPython module for the LSM303 6-DoF with 3-axis accelerometer and magnetometer

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

• Bus Device

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Usage Example

import time
import board
import busio

import adafruit_lsm303

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
sensor = adafruit_lsm303.LSM303(i2c)

while True:
        raw_accel_x, raw_accel_y, raw_accel_z = sensor.raw_acceleration
        accel_x, accel_y, accel_z = sensor.acceleration
        raw_mag_x, raw_mag_y, raw_mag_z = sensor.raw_magnetic
        mag_x, mag_y, mag_z = sensor.magnetic

        print('Acceleration raw: ({0:6d}, {1:6d}, {2:6d}), (m/s^2): ({3:10.3f}, {4:10.3f}, {5:10.3f})'.format(raw_accel_x, raw_accel_y, raw_accel_z, accel_x, accel_y, accel_z))
        print('Magnetometer raw: ({0:6d}, {1:6d}, {2:6d}), (gauss): ({3:10.3f}, {4:10.3f}, {5:10.3f})'.format(raw_mag_x, raw_mag_y, raw_mag_z, mag_x, mag_y, mag_z))
        print('')
        time.sleep(1.0)
