Rust VEML7700 High Accuracy Ambient Light Sensor Driver

This is a platform agnostic Rust driver for the VEML7700 high accuracy ambient light sensors using the embedded-hal traits. It's alternative version of veml6030 crate that uses the micromath library and 32 bit precision for sensor correction.

This driver allows you to:

• Enable/disable the device. See: enable().
• Read the measured lux value. See: read_lux().
• Read the white channel measurement. See: read_white().
• Read the measured ALS value in raw format. See: read_raw().
• Calculate the compensated lux for a raw ALS value. See: convert_raw_als_to_lux().
• Set the gain. See: set_gain().
• Set the integration time. See: set_integration_time().
• Set the fault count. See: set_fault_count().
• Enable/disable and configure power saving mode. See: enable_power_saving().
• Enable/disable interrupts. See: enable_interrupts().
• Read the interrupt status. See: read_interrupt_status().
• Set the high/low thresholds in lux or raw. See: set_high_threshold_lux().
• Calculate the compensated raw threshold value ahead of time. See: calculate_raw_threshold_value().

The device

The Vishay VEML7700 is a high accuracy ambient light digital 16-bit resolution sensor in a miniature transparent package. It includes a high sensitive photodiode, a low noise amplifier, a 16-bit A/D converter and support an easy to use I2C bus communication interface and additional interrupt feature. The ambient light result is as digital value available.

Application Note:

• Designing the VEML7700 into an application

Usage

To use this driver, import this crate and an embedded_hal implementation, then instantiate the device.

VEML7700 expose interface over I2C.
