CircuitPython driver for TSL2561 Light Sensor.

Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.

Installing from PyPI
====================

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-tsl2561/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tsl2561

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tsl2561

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-tsl2561

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import board
    >>> import busio
    >>> i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
    >>> import adafruit_tsl2561
    >>> tsl = adafruit_tsl2561.TSL2561(i2c)
    >>> tsl.lux
