Code Example
Tsl2591 sensor;
public override Task Initialize()
{
Console.WriteLine("Initialize...");
// configure our sensor on the I2C Bus
var i2c = Device.CreateI2cBus();
sensor = new Tsl2591(i2c);
// Example that uses an IObservable subscription to only be notified when the filter is satisfied
var consumer = Tsl2591.CreateObserver(
handler: result => Console.WriteLine($"Observer: filter satisifed: {result.New.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux, old: {result.Old?.VisibleLight?.Lux:N2}Lux"),
// only notify if the visible light changes by 100 lux (put your hand over the sensor to trigger)
filter: result => {
if (result.Old is { } old) { //c# 8 pattern match syntax. checks for !null and assigns var.
// returns true if > 100lux change
return ( (result.New.VisibleLight.Value - old.VisibleLight.Value).Abs().Lux > 100 );
