Sensor

Here we introduce the use of each sensor:

Ambient light Sensor

TSL2591 is a light-intensity digital converter based on IIC bus communication. The sensor combines a broadband photodiode (visible light and infrared light) and an infrared-responsive photodiode on a single CMOS integrated circuit that can provide a low-beam adaptive response within an effective 16-bit dynamic range (16-bit resolution). Two integrating ADCs convert the photodiode current into a digital output. This digital output can be fed to the microprocessor, where an empirical formula is used to derive the illuminance (ambient light level) in lux to approximate the human eye response.
The sensor address is: 0X29.
【Note】:

  • 1. The interrupt is turned on by default, if you don't need it, you can comment out the corresponding code;
  • 2. The range of the default routine is small, if the light changes greatly, please increase the range;
  • 3. It is different from the light intensity readers on the market which have the lenses;

If you need to run this sensor separately, please enter the following command:

sudo python TSL2591.py

Temperature and Humidity Sensor

The BME280 can perceive environmental temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, which is low power consumption, high precision, and has high stability, and is suitable for environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, altitude monitoring, and IoT application.
The sensor address is: 0X76.
Measurement range:

  • Temperature range: 40~85°C (resolution 0.01°C, error ±1°C)
  • Humidity range: 0~100%RH (resolution 0.008%RH, ±3% RH)
  • Pressure range: 300~1100 hPa (resolution 0.18Pa, error ±1 hPa)

【Note】:

  • 1. The measurement range should not exceed the range, otherwise, the measurement may be inaccurate;
  • 2. The measured air pressure is atmospheric pressure, which will fluctuate up and down at standard atmospheric pressure (1.013x 10^5 = 1013hPa);
  • 3. The measured temperature may be affected by the heat dissipation of the jetson nano. In this case, you can add a fan to avoid this situation during use;
  • 4. The higher the temperature, the lower the air pressure, because the higher the temperature, the heat and expansion of the air near the ground will increase, resulting in a drop in air density and a drop in air pressure. On the contrary, the air pressure will rise;
  • 5. The atmospheric pressure decreases with the increase in altitude, but there is no proportional relationship. The higher the altitude, the slower the decrease;
  • 6. The relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude is: the altitude increases, and the atmospheric pressure decreases. In the theoretical situation, within the range of 3000M, for every 12M increase, the atmospheric pressure decreases by 1mmHg, about 133Pa;

If you need to run this sensor separately, please enter the following command:

sudo python BME280.py

  • 3. Acceleration is acceleration (LSB, which can be converted to g);
  • 4. Gyroscope is gyroscope angular velocity (LSB, which can be converted to °/sec);
  • 5. Magnetic is the electronic compass inclination (°);

IR/UV Sensor

LTR390-UV-1 UV sensor for measuring UV, light intensity. The sensor address is: 0X53.
【Note】:

  • 1. The working principle is using a Pair diode, one is sensitive to normal light, and the other is sensitive to infrared, the result obtained by the calculation of the two;
  • 2. The read ultraviolet value has been calibrated, but the infrared intensity and visible light intensity measured by this sensor are not calibrated;
  • 3. Visible light intensity is non-calibrated;
  • 4. The detection range is within 50cm for the best effect (described in the manual);

If you need to run this sensor separately, please enter the following command:

sudo python LTR390.py

VOC Sensor

SGP40 is a digital VOC (volatile organic compound) sensor newly launched by Sensirion, which can be easily integrated into air treatment equipment and air quality monitors. It has a temperature-controlled mini-heating plate and a humidity-compensated indoor air quality signal. Provide a complete sensor system on a single chip.
The sensor address is: 0X59.
【Note】:

  • 1. The output of the Python demo is the algorithm value that hasn't been processed by VOC. In fact, Sensirion has its own C algorithm, which is more accurate after conversion;
  • 2. The sensor needs to be stabilized within 1 minute because the interior is slowly heating;
  • 3. It can feedback to SGP40 by measuring the current temperature and humidity so that the accuracy will be higher;
  • 4. The measuring range of the sensor is 0 to 1,000 ppm ethanol equivalent;

If you need to run this sensor separately, please enter the following command:
