Ambient light module¶

The PyMetaWear implementation of the libmetawear ambient light module.

It is initialized at the creation of the MetaWearClient client and can then be accessed in the ambient_light attribute of the client.

Data streaming example¶

If you need a real time stream of sensor data, use the notifications() method on the ambient_light module:

from pymetawear.client import MetaWearClient

c = MetaWearClient('DD:3A:7D:4D:56:F0')

print("Write ambient light settings...")
c.ambient_light.set_settings(gain=4, integration_time=200, measurement_rate=200)

def ambient_light_callback(data):
    """Handle a (epoch, data) ambient light data tuple."""
    print("Epoch time: [{0}] Data: {1}".format(data[0], data[1]))

# Enable notifications and register a callback for them.
c.ambient_light.notifications(ambient_light_callback)
