python-mlx90614's Issues

Example Error

hi, thanks for the library.
on example:

from mlx90614 import MLX90614

thermometer_address = 0x5a

thermometer = MLX90614(thermometer_address)

print thermometer.get_amb_temp()
print thermometer.get_obj_temp()

You call the method:

thermometer.get_amb_temp()
thermometer.get_obj_temp()

and its not exist in your class MLX90614, so a changed my code for:

from smbus2 import SMBus
from mlx90614 import MLX90614

bus = SMBus(1)
sensor = MLX90614(bus, address=0x5A)
print (sensor.get_object_1())
#print (sensor.get_object_2()) #Don't worked
bus.close()

and it worked for me

will this code work for MLX90615 ?

I2C Problem

I have a problem connecting the sensor to the I2C GrovePi Hat. Whenever I attach it to the board all addresses are busy:
pi@meteotux:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f
10: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f
20: 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f
30: 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 3a 3b 3c 3d 3e 3f
40: 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4a 4b 4c 4d 4e 4f
50: 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 5a 5b 5c 5d 5e 5f
60: 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 6a 6b 6c 6d 6e 6f
70: 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77

As soon as I detach it again from the board I get:pi@meteotux:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- 04 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 68 -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Is there any help to this?
