A CircuitPython/Python library for Benewake`s TF mini distance sensor
Project description
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.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tfmini
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tfmini
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name python3 -m venv .env source .env/bin/activate pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tfmini
Usage Example
import time import board # comment this out if using pyserial import busio # comment this out if using pyserial import adafruit_tfmini # Use hardware uart uart = busio.UART(board.TX, board.RX) # Or, you can use pyserial on any computer #import serial #uart = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyS2", timeout=1) # Simplest use, connect with the uart bus object tfmini = adafruit_tfmini.TFmini(uart) # You can put in 'short' or 'long' distance mode tfmini.mode = adafruit_tfmini.MODE_SHORT print("Now in mode", tfmini.mode) while True: print("Distance: %d cm (strength %d, mode %x)" % (tfmini.distance, tfmini.strength, tfmini.mode)) time.sleep(0.1)
