Light Sample

This sample demonstrates reading the IR and UV Index.

To run the sample:
1.Download the sample code from https://github.com/Turta-io/Sensor-uHAT/blob/master/Samples/Python/light.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 light.py
Sample Code
light.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
​
#This sample demonstrates reading the IR and UV Index.
#Install Sensor uHAT library with "pip3 install turta-sensoruhat"
​
from time import sleep
from turta_sensoruhat import Turta_UV_Light
​
#Initialize
light = Turta_UV_Light.UVAmbientLightSensor()
​
try:
    while True:
        #Read UV Index
        uv = light.read_uv()
​
        #Read Raw IR
        ir = light.read_ir()
​
        #Print the readings
        print("UV Index........: " + str(round(uv, 1)))
        print("IR Raw Value....: " + str(ir))
​
        #Wait
        sleep(2.0)
​
#Exit on CTRL+C
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('Bye.')
Result
When you run the sample, it prints the light data. The example output should be like this:
UV Index........: 3.4
IR Raw Value....: 0
-----
To stop the Python script, just press CTRL + C.
