Adafruit CircuitPython driver for the MLX90393 3-axis magnetometer.

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

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

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

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-mlx90939/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mlx90939

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

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mlx90939

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-mlx90939

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

.. code-block:: python3

    import time
    import board
    import adafruit_mlx90393

    i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
    SENSOR = adafruit_mlx90393.MLX90393(i2c, gain=adafruit_mlx90393.GAIN_1X)

    while True:
        MX, MY, MZ = SENSOR.magnetic
        print("[{}]".format(time.monotonic()))
        print("X: {} uT".format(MX))
        print("Y: {} uT".format(MY))
        print("Z: {} uT".format(MZ))
        # Display the status field if an error occured, etc.
        if SENSOR.last_status > adafruit_mlx90393.STATUS_OK:
            SENSOR.display_status()
        time.sleep(1.0)
