Detailed Description

Driver for the Texas Instruments OPT3001 sensor.

The TI OPT3001 (Ambient Light Sensor) measures the intensity of visible light with a spectal response comparable to the human eye, with simultaneous rejection of infrared light. The conversion time, mode of conversion and the interrupt reporting mechanism mode can be set by the sensor initialization. After initialization the raw sensor values can be read. The ambient light can be calculated as follows:

Result register translation into lux:

\begin{eqnarray*} Lux &=& LSB\_Size \cdot R[11:0] \end{eqnarray*}

Where LSB_Size:

\begin{eqnarray*} LSB\_Size &=& 0.01 \cdot 2^{E[3:0]} \end{eqnarray*}

The calculation is wrapped from TI OPT3001 Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) datasheet (Rev. C).

This driver provides [S]ensor [A]ctuator [U]ber [L]ayer capabilities.

Function Documentation

◆ opt3001_init()

int opt3001_init ( opt3001_t dev,
const opt3001_params_t params 
)

Initialize the OPT3001 sensor driver.

Parameters
[out]devdevice descriptor of sensor to initialize
[in]paramsconfiguration parameters
Returns
0 on success
-OPT3001_ERROR_BUS on I2C bus error
-OPT3001_ERROR_DEV if sensor test failed

◆ opt3001_read_lux()

int opt3001_read_lux ( const opt3001_t dev,
uint32_t *  convl 
)

Read sensor's raw data and convert it to milliLux.

Parameters
[in]devdevice descriptor of sensor
[out]convlambient light in milliLux
Returns
0 on success
-1 on error

◆ opt3001_reset()

int opt3001_reset ( const opt3001_t dev)
