This package for getting values from sensors mh_z19, DHT, ads1015
Project description
RaspberryPi Sensors Library
This library provides functions to retrieve data from mh_z19, DHT, and ads1015 sensors on a Raspberry Pi. Note that in case of errors, no exceptions are thrown, and the cached sensor value is also returned in case of an error.
Usage Examples
Initialization
First, import the library and create an instance of the Sensors
class.
from raspberry_sensors import Sensors
sensors = Sensors()
Disabling Error Logging
You can disable error logging by passing the logging_error
parameter equal to False
when creating an instance of the Sensors
class.
sensors = Sensors(logging_error=False)
Getting Values from DHT Sensor
To get values from the DHT sensor, use the get_dht
method, passing the sensor type (_type
) and the GPIO pin number (gpio
).
sensors.get_dht(_type=22, gpio=4)
# _type=22 - DHT22
# _type=11 - DHT11
# gpio - GPIO pin
# return data (dict)
# {"humidity": 36.0, "temperature": 21.0}
Getting Values from ADS Sensor
To get values from the ADS sensor, use the get_ads
method, passing the channel you want to get the voltage from (channel
), whether to get the normal value using interpolation (interpolate
), and the minimum and maximum values at 0V (interpolate_min
and interpolate_max
).
sensors.get_ads(channel, interpolate=False, interpolate_min=0, interpolate_max=0)
# channel - the channel that you want to get the voltage from
# interpolate - getting the normal value using interpolation
# interpolate_min (use if interpolate True) - minimum value at 0 V
# interpolate_max (use if interpolate True) - maximum value at 0 V
# return data (float)
# if interpolate=False - voltage
# if interpolate=True - the voltage value to which the interpolation formula is applied
Getting Values from MH-Z19 Sensor
To get values from the MH-Z19 sensor, use the get_mhz
method, passing the GPIO pin number (gpio
) and whether to read using PWM (pwm
).
sensors.get_mhz(gpio=12, pwm=False)
# gpio - GPIO pin
# pwm - if pwm is True it will be read using pwm otherwise it is default
# return data (dict)
# {"co2": 5000}
