Introduction¶

CircuitPython library to support Honeywell MPRLS digital pressure sensors.

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-mprls

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mprls

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-mprls

Usage Example¶

import time
import board
import busio
import adafruit_mprls

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

# Simplest use, connect to default over I2C
mpr = adafruit_mprls.MPRLS(i2c, psi_min=0, psi_max=25)


while True:
    print((mpr.pressure,))
    time.sleep(1)

class adafruit_mprls.MPRLS(i2c_bus, *, addr=24, reset_pin=None, eoc_pin=None, psi_min=0, psi_max=25)¶

Driver base for the MPRLS pressure sensor :param i2c_bus: The busio.I2C object to use. This is the only required parameter. :param int addr: The optional I2C address, defaults to 0x18 :param microcontroller.Pin reset_pin: Optional digitalio pin for hardware resetting :param microcontroller.Pin eoc_pin: Optional digitalio pin for getting End Of Conversion signal :param float psi_min: The minimum pressure in PSI, defaults to 0 :param float psi_max: The maximum pressure in PSI, defaults to 25

pressure¶: The measured pressure, in hPa
