Proximity Sample
This sample demonstrates measuring proximity.
- 1.Download the sample code from https://github.com/Turta-io/IoTHAT3/blob/master/Samples/Python/Proximity.py
- 2.Copy the sample code to a folder on the Raspberry Pi.
- 3.Open terminal, and then go to the folder you copied the sample.
- 4.Run the sample with the following command:
python3 Proximity.py
Proximity.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#This sample demonstrates measuring proximity.
#Install IoT HAT 3 library with "pip3 install turta-iothat3"
from time import sleep
from turta_iothat3 import Turta_Light
#Initialize
light = Turta_Light.LightSensor(Turta_Light.MODES.PROX)
try:
while True:
#Read proximity
proximity = light.read_proximity()
#Print the reading
print("Proximity.......: " + str(proximity))
#Wait
sleep(0.5)
#Exit on CTRL+C
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print('Bye.')
When you run the sample, it prints the proximity measurement. The example output should be like this:
Proximity.......: 28
Proximity.......: 45
Proximity.......: 65
Proximity.......: 120
To stop the Python script, just press CTRL + C.
