CircuitPython helper library for the LIS3MDL 3-axis magnetometer


Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
* `Register <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Register>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_.

Installing from PyPI
=====================

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-lis3mdl/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lis3mdl

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lis3mdl

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lis3mdl

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python3

    import time
    import board
    import adafruit_lis3mdl

    i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
    sensor = adafruit_lis3mdl.LIS3MDL(i2c)

    while True:
        mag_x, mag_y, mag_z = sensor.magnetic

        print('X:{0:10.2f}, Y:{1:10.2f}, Z:{2:10.2f} uT'.format(mag_x, mag_y, mag_z))
        print('')
        time.sleep(1.0)
