python library for the AS7343 spectral sensor
Project description
AS7343 Spectral Sensor
AS7343 is a 14-channel multi-purpose spectral sensor. It can detect 14 spectral channels - 12 in the visible spectrum (VIS) to near-infrared (NIR) range, a clear channel and flicker channel.
You can buy our AS7343 breakout here!
Installing
We'd recommend using this library with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm or later. It requires Python ≥3.7.
Full install (recommended):
We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your AS7343 breakout up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you'll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:
In the new terminal window type the command exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:
git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/as7343-python
cd as7343-python
./install.sh
Note Libraries will be installed in the "pimoroni" virtual environment, you will need to activate it to run examples:
source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate
Development:
If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you can install the development version like so:
git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/as7343-python
cd as7343-python
./install.sh --unstable
Install stable library from PyPi and configure manually
- Set up a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages $HOME/.virtualenvs/pimoroni
- Switch to the virtual environment:
source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate
- Install the library:
pip install pimoroni-as7343
In some cases you may need to us sudo
or install pip with: sudo apt install python3-pip
.
This will not make any configuration changes, so you may also need to enable:
- i2c:
sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0
You can optionally run sudo raspi-config
or the graphical Raspberry Pi Configuration UI to enable interfaces.
