LPS28 Library¶

lps28¶

LPS28 pressure sensor drive for CircuitPython

• Author(s): Jose D. Montoya

class lps28.LPS28(i2c_bus: busio.I2C, address: int = 0x5D)[source]¶

Driver for the LPS28 Sensor connected over I2C.

Parameters:¶

i2c_bus : I2C¶

The I2C bus the LPS28 is connected to.

address : int¶

The I2C device address. Defaults to 0x5D

Raises:¶

RuntimeError – if the sensor is not found

Quickstart: Importing and using the device

Here is an example of using the LPS28 class. First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor

import board
import lps28

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
lps28 = LPS28.lps28(i2c)

Now you have access to the attributes

press = lps28.pressure

property data_rate : str¶

Sensor data_rate

Mode	Value
lps28.ONE_SHOT	0b0000
lps28.RATE_1_HZ	0b0001
lps28.RATE_4_HZ	0b0010
lps28.RATE_10_HZ	0b0011
lps28.RATE_25_HZ	0b0100
lps28.RATE_50_HZ	0b0101
lps28.RATE_75_HZ	0b0110
lps28.RATE_100_HZ	0b0111
lps28.RATE_200_HZ	0b1000

property full_scale : None¶

Sensor full_scale (0: mode 1, full scale up to 1260 hPa; 1: mode 2, full scale up to 4060 hPa)

Mode	Value
lps28.FULL_SCALE	0b1
lps28.NORMAL	0b0

property high_threshold_enabled : bool¶

Set to True or False to enable or disable the high pressure threshold

property high_threshold_exceeded : bool¶

Returns True if the pressure high threshold has been exceeded. Must be enabled by setting high_threshold_enabled to True and setting a pressure_threshold.

property low_threshold_enabled : bool¶

Set to True or False to enable or disable the low pressure threshold.

property low_threshold_exceeded : bool¶

Returns True if the pressure low threshold has been exceeded. Must be enabled by setting high_threshold_enabled to True and setting a pressure_threshold.

property pressure : float¶

Pressure value in hPa

property pressure_threshold : float¶

The high pressure threshold. Use high_threshold_enabled or high_threshold_enabled to use it

property resolution : None¶

Sensor resolution

Mode	Value
lps28.RES_4	0b000
lps28.RES_8	0b001
lps28.RES_16	0b010
lps28.RES_32	0b011
lps28.RES_64	0b100
lps28.RES_128	0b101
lps28.RES_512	0b111

property temperature : float¶

The current temperature measurement in Celsius
