# python-veml6070
A python library for accessing the VEML6070 digital UV light sensor from Vishay
A Python library for accessing the [VEML6070 digital UV light sensor](http://www.vishay.com/docs/84277/veml6070.pdf) from Vishay via `python-smbus` using the I2C interface.
Default settings are suitable for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 and was successfully tested using a [breakout](https://github.com/watterott/VEML6070-Breakout).
I created this Python library in style of e.g. [python-tsl2591](https://github.com/maxlklaxl/python-tsl2591) (of the TSL2591 light sensor) since I found either [python code](https://github.com/ControlEverythingCommunity/VEML6070) broken for my hardware or [code targeted at Arduino](https://github.com/kriswiner/VEML6070).
## Usage
Consult the data sheet and see [demo.py](demo.py) for clues how to use this library.
Not all functions of the chip are supported, especially not the interrupt handling since I had no use for this. Please send pull requests for improvements and bug fixes!
