More sensors coming ? (sound, luminosity, infrared...)

[qleroux]

Hi !
Do you think that you can add more sensors compatibility (sound, luminosity, infrared, magnetic...) ?

Do you need to manually add drivers for every new sensor so we can use them or is there a simple way to get the data from any sensor ? Starting with the VMA309 from Velleman will be truly appreciated. I've not being able to read data from it at all (missing class or driver I presume).

Thanks in advance.
Sincerly, Quentin

Hello,
There is a great number of drivers that you can use as they are (written in Python of course)... Specially drivers that deals with i2c and smbus on Linux will work out of box...

But for a lot of sensors you don't need drivers. For example VMA309 is just simple analog sensor. You can simply use analogRead(pinNumber) to read values from it

Ok, didn't know. I'll try
Thanks a lot !
