Rust VEML6030/VEML7700 High Accuracy Ambient Light Sensor Driver

crates.io Docs Build Status Coverage Status

This is a platform agnostic Rust driver for the VEML6030 and VEML7700 high accuracy ambient light sensors using the embedded-hal traits.

This driver allows you to:

  • Enable/disable the device. See: enable().
  • Read the measured lux value. See: read_lux().
  • Read the white channel measurement. See: read_white().
  • Read the measured ALS value in raw format. See: read_raw().
  • Calculate the compensated lux for a raw ALS value. See: convert_raw_als_to_lux().
  • Set the gain. See: set_gain().
  • Set the integration time. See: set_integration_time().
  • Set the fault count. See: set_fault_count().
  • Enable/disable and configure power saving mode. See: enable_power_saving().
  • Enable/disable interrupts. See: enable_interrupts().
  • Read the interrupt status. See: read_interrupt_status().
  • Set the high/low thresholds in lux or raw. See: set_high_threshold_lux().
  • Calculate the compensated raw threshold value ahead of time. See: calculate_raw_threshold_value().

Introductory blog post

The devices

Vishay's VEML6030 and VEML7700 are high accuracy ambient light digital 16-bit resolution sensors in a miniature transparent package. They include a high sensitive photodiode, a low noise amplifier, a 16-bit A/D converter and support an easy to use I2C bus communication interface and additional interrupt feature. The ambient light result is as digital value available.

Application Notes:

Usage

To use this driver, import this crate and an embedded_hal implementation, then instantiate the device.

VEML6030 and VEML7700 expose the same interface over I2C. To communicate with a VEML7700 simply use this driver as if communicating with a VEML6030.

Please find additional examples using hardware in this repository: driver-examples

use linux_embedded_hal::I2cdev;
use veml6030::{SlaveAddr, Veml6030};

fn main() {
    let dev = I2cdev::new("/dev/i2c-1").unwrap();
    let address = SlaveAddr::default();
    let mut sensor = Veml6030::new(dev, address);
    sensor.enable().unwrap();
    loop {
        let lux = sensor.read_lux().unwrap();
        println!("lux: {:2}", lux);
    }
}
