Possible I2C bus addresses of the device

The actual address of the device depends on the state of the ADDR pin.

#define BH1750FVI_ADDR_PIN_LOW   (0x23)
 ADDR pin := 0.
 
#define BH1750FVI_ADDR_PIN_HIGH   (0x5c)
 ADDR pin := 1.

Function Documentation

◆ bh1750fvi_init()

int bh1750fvi_init ( bh1750fvi_t dev,
const bh1750fvi_params_t params 
)

Initialize the given BH1750FVI device.

Parameters
[out]devdevice descriptor of the targeted device
[in]paramsdevice configuration (i2c bus, address and bus clock)
Returns
0 on success
-1 if unable to speak to the device

◆ bh1750fvi_sample()

uint16_t bh1750fvi_sample ( const bh1750fvi_t dev)

Read a ambient light value from the given device [in LUX].

The result value is the measured ambient light intensity in LUX and ranges from 0 to 54612. Taking one measurement takes ~120ms, so it takes this amount of time until the function returns.

Parameters
[in]devdevice descriptor of the targeted device
Returns
ambient light intensity in LUX
