CircuitPython helper library for the LSM6DS family of motion sensors from ST


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-lsm6ds/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lsm6ds

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

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-lsm6ds

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-lsm6ds

Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python3

    import time
    import board
    from adafruit_lsm6ds.lsm6dsox import LSM6DSOX

    i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
    sox = LSM6DSOX(i2c)

    while True:
        print("Acceleration: X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f m/s^2"%(sox.acceleration))
        print("Gyro X:%.2f, Y: %.2f, Z: %.2f radians/s"%(sox.gyro))
        print("")
        time.sleep(0.5)
