Requirements


This shield can be used with boards which provide an I2C connector, for example STEMMA QT or Qwiic connectors. The target board must define a zephyr_i2c node label. See :ref:shields for more details.

Pin Assignments

+--------------+-----------------------+ | Shield Pin | Function | +==============+=======================+ | SDA | TSL2591 I2C SDA | +--------------+-----------------------+ | SCL | TSL2591 I2C SCL | +--------------+-----------------------+ | INT | TSL2591 interrupt out | +--------------+-----------------------+

In order to use interrupts you need to connect a separate wire from the shield to a GPIO pin on your microcontroller board. See :dtcompatible:ams,tsl2591 for documentation on how to adjust the devicetree file.

Programming


Set --shield adafruit_tsl2591 when you invoke west build. For example when running the :zephyr:code-sample:light_sensor_polling light measurement sample:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/light_polling :board: adafruit_qt_py_rp2040 :shield: adafruit_tsl2591 :goals: build
