#tsys01-python

A python module to interface with the TSYS01 temperature sensor. Tested on Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian.

The python SMBus library must be installed.

sudo apt-get install python-smbus

#Usage

import tsys01

###TSYS01(bus=1)

sensor = tsys01.TSYS01() # Use default I2C bus 1
sensor = tsys01.TSYS01(0) # Specify I2C bus 0

###init()

Initialize the sensor. This needs to be called before using any other methods.

sensor.init()

Returns true if the sensor was successfully initialized, false otherwise.

###read()

Read the sensor and update the temperature.

sensor.read()

Returns True if read was successful, False otherwise.

###temperature(conversion=UNITS_Centigrade)

Get the most recent temperature measurement.

sensor.temperature() # Get temperature in default units (Centigrade)
sensor.temperature(ms5837.UNITS_Farenheit) # Get temperature in Farenheit

Valid arguments are:

tsys01.UNITS_Centigrade
tsys01.UNITS_Farenheit
tsys01.UNITS_Kelvin

Returns the most recent temperature in the requested units, or temperature in degrees Centigrade if invalid units specified. Call read() to update.
