person-sensor-circuitpython

CircuitPython driver for the Person Sensor by Useful Sensors.

Basic Usage

1. Copy person_sensor.py into the lib folder on your CircuitPython device.

2. From the (Adafruit CircuitPython library bundle)[https://circuitpython.org/libraries], copy adafruit_ticks.mpy into the lib folder on your CircuitPython device.

3. In your code, initialize a busio.I2C instance (and make sure it's the one your Person Sensor is wired too!):

import busio
import board


# if your board has a stemma/qt connector
i2c = board.STEMMA_I2C()

# alternatively, if you're using the SDA/SCL pins:
# i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

4. Initialize a PersonSensor instance:

from person_sensor import PersonSensor

person_sensor = PersonSensor(i2c)

5. Query the Person Sensor for detected faces:

while True:
    faces = person_sensor.get_faces()
    print(faces)
