cn 5cf6d2aad5 module: respect shutdown settings when writing command 
- this fixes a serious flaw where until now this library never powered the sensor down
- not noticable directly as the sensor still takes measurements but wastes power in between

Build Status

A Python library for accessing the VEML6070 digital UV light sensor 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.

I created this Python library in style of e.g. python-tsl2591 (of the TSL2591 light sensor) since I found either python code broken for my hardware or code targeted at Arduino.

Usage

Consult the datasheet, the application notes and see 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!

Serious Flaws before September 2019

In September 2019 it was discovered (and fixed) that:

  • previously the sensor was never shutdown between measurements which wastes power but still takes measurements successfully
