Implementation Notes

Hardware:

Software and Dependencies:

class adafruit_mprls.MPRLS(i2c_bus: I2C, *, addr: int = 24, reset_pin: DigitalInOut | None = None, eoc_pin: DigitalInOut | None = None, psi_min: int = 0, psi_max: int = 25)

Driver base for the MPRLS pressure sensor

Parameters:

  • i2c_bus (I2C) – The I2C bus the MPRLS is connected to

  • addr (int) – The I2C device address. Defaults to 0x18

  • reset_pin (Pin) – Optional digitalio.pin for hardware resetting

  • eoc_pin (Pin) – Optional digitalio pin for getting End Of Conversion signal

  • psi_min (float) – The minimum pressure in PSI, defaults to 0

  • psi_max (float) – The maximum pressure in PSI, defaults to 25

Quickstart: Importing and using the MPRLS

Here is an example of using the MPRLS class. First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor

import board
import adafruit_mprls

Once this is done you can define your board.I2C object and define your sensor object

i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
mpr = adafruit_mprls.MPRLS(i2c, psi_min=0, psi_max=25)

Now you have access to the pressure attribute

pressure = mpr.pressure
property pressure: float

The measured pressure, in hPa
