TSL2561 — Luminosity¶

I2C address 0x39. Returns full-spectrum, IR, and visible (full − IR) counts.

Connect and read¶

from eyes17 import eyes
from eyes17.SENSORS import TSL2561

p = eyes.open()
s = TSL2561.connect(p.I2C)
full, ir, visible = s.getRaw()
print(full, ir, visible)

Configuration¶

Method	Options
`setGain(gain)`	`'1x'` or `'16x'`
`setTiming(timing)`	`0` → 13 ms, `1` → 101 ms, `2` → 402 ms
`enable()` / `disable()`	power on/off

s.setGain('16x')
s.setTiming(1)   # 101 ms integration
print(s.getRaw())
