- =================================
- Raspberry Pi Light Sensor Example
- =================================
- This directory contains two example ThingFlow applications that read a tsl2591
- Lux sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Linux. To run these
- examples, you need to install several packages, as follows::
- sudo apt-get install build-essential libi2c-dev i2c-tools python-dev libffi-dev
- sudo /usr/bin/pip install cffi
- git clone https://github.com/maxlklaxl/python-tsl2591.git
- cd python-tsl2591; python setup.py install
- Single Process Example
- ----------------------
- The script ``lux_sensor_example.py`` is a single process application that
- samples from the lux sensor, prints the events obtained, and activates an LED
- on the Pi's GPIO bus if a threshold lux value is exceeded.
- Distributed Example
- --------------------
- ``dist_lux_rpi.py`` and ``dist_lux_server.py`` implement a distributed Lux data
- collector. The ``dist_lux_rpi.py`` script runs on the Pi and has the same
- functionality as the single process example. Additionally, it sends the sensor
- events to a MQTT broker. The ``dist_lux_server.py`` script runs on a server that
- has the PostgreSQL database installed. The server-side script reads events from
- the MQTT queue and saves them to the database.
