MicroPython LIS2MDL Driver¶

`lis2mdl`¶

MicroPython Driver for the ST LIS2MDL Magnetometer sensor

class micropython_lis2mdl.lis2mdl.AlertStatus(x_high, x_low, y_high, y_low, z_high, z_low)¶

Create new instance of AlertStatus(x_high, x_low, y_high, y_low, z_high, z_low)

class micropython_lis2mdl.lis2mdl.LIS2MDL(i2c, address: int = 0x1E)[source]¶

Driver for the LIS2MDL Sensor connected over I2C.

Parameters:¶

Raises:¶

RuntimeError – if the sensor is not found

Quickstart: Importing and using the device

Here is an example of using the LIS2MDL class. First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor

from machine import Pin, I2C
from micropython_lis2mdl import lis2mdl

Once this is done you can define your machine.I2C object and define your sensor object

i2c = I2C(1, sda=Pin(2), scl=Pin(3))
lis = lis2mdl.LIS2MDL(i2c)

Now you have access to the attributes

magx, magy, magz = lis.magnetic

property data_rate : str¶

Sensor data_rate

property interrupt_mode : str¶

Sensor interrupt_mode

Mode	Value
`lis2mdl.INT_DISABLED`	`0b0`
`lis2mdl.INT_ENABLED`	`0b1`

property interrupt_threshold : float¶: The threshold (in microteslas) for magnetometer interrupt generation. Given value is compared against all axes in both the positive and negative direction

property low_pass_filter_mode : str¶

Sensor low_pass_filter_mode. Default DISABLED: Values:

Mode	Value
`lis2mdl.LPF_DISABLED`	`0b0`
`lis2mdl.LPF_ENABLED`	`0b1`

property low_power_mode : str¶

Sensor low_power_mode. Default value: DISABLED

Mode	Value
`lis3mdl.LP_DISABLED`	`0b0`
`lis3mdl.LP_ENABLED`	`0b1`

property magnetic : tuple[float, float, float]¶: Magnetometer values in microteslas

property operation_mode : str¶

Sensor operation_mode
