Vishay VEML7700 ambient light detector

Post by nmtb » Mon Nov 20, 2017 9:22 am

I'm fairly new to i2c comms so hopefully a more experienced person can offer some advice.
I have managed to get a number of other sensors (both off the shelf and home built) working on my ESP32 and/or RPi using upython/python.

But I have been stuck for a number of days trying to communicate with my VEML7700 ambient light detector. There are a couple of drivers written for arduino but I'm struggling to convert it to python.

Anybody had any success communicating with this sensor?

What is it exactly you are having problems with?

It is unlikely that someone will write a driver for you, unless they happen to need it themselves too. But if you show us what you've got so far and where you are stuck and why, someone might offer help and/or give some pointers.
