sensor.py TypeError

@elysio2 Can you give more details in how you got that error? Was that on install? Was it when you tried to take a temp reading? Any details you can give help in debugging the issue. Thanks.

[elysio2]

@drohm Simply running the sensor.py file after a pip3 install makes this error. examples.py still works, as well as any custom code.

 File "sensor.py", line 46, in main
    logger=logger) as sensor:

Thanks @elysio2. Can you give details on how you're invoking sensor.py versus the examples.py?

[elysio2]

@drohm
sensor.py : sudo python3 sensor.py 18 23
examples.py : sudo python3 temp2.py

(temp2.py is a copy/paste of examples.py)

[drohm]

The sensor.py isn't meant to be invoked that way. If you browse through the README, you'll see you can make calls like this:

from pi_sht1x import SHT1x

with SHT1x(18, 23, gpio_mode=GPIO.BCM) as sensor:
    temp = sensor.read_temperature()
    humidity = sensor.read_humidity(temp)
    sensor.calculate_dew_point(temp, humidity)
    print(sensor)

Give that a try and let me know.

[elysio2]

That works , but FYI the readme clearly states

sensor.py

This script is callable from the terminal and the sensor parameters are passed into the script.

sudo python3 sensor.py 18 23 -g 'BCM'

This executes the sensor script using data_pin=18, sck_pin=23, and gpio_mode=GPIO.BCM. The script will then create an instance of the SHT1x class and read in the temperature, humidity, and calculate the dew point five times, sleeping 2 seconds in between each measurement.

I was only using this for testing purposes when I forgot the 10k pull-up resistor, just thought you should know.

[drohm]

@elysio2 Ahh, okay. I'll dig into this later today and update the README accordingly. Thanks for bringing this up.

@elysio2 What version of the pi-sht1x library is installed? If you could look at the SHT1x class, could you confirm that the version installed on your system has the logger parameter defined in the __init__() method?
