Inquiry: Configuring AMS TSL2561 with nRF52832 on Zephyr

[Amank0623]

Dear [DevZone Support Team],

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently working on a project that involves integrating the AMS TSL2561 light sensor with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 microcontroller using Zephyr RTOS. However, I am facing some challenges in configuring the TSL2561 sensor with the nRF52832 platform.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide guidance or documentation on how to properly configure the AMS TSL2561 light sensor with the nRF52832 microcontroller on the Zephyr platform. Specifically, I am looking for information on the following:

1. Device Tree configuration for the TSL2561 sensor.
2. Initialization and communication with the TSL2561 sensor using Zephyr's I2C APIs.
3. Any other considerations or best practices for integrating the TSL2561 sensor with the nRF52832 platform in the Zephyr environment.

Any assistance or resources you can provide would be immensely helpful in advancing my project. Thank you very much for your time and support.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards, Aman

Hello,

I don't think there is built in support for this specific sensor (yet), but you can add it as a generic I2C device. For a guide, I can recommend the nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals course on Nordic's Developer Academy. Particularly Lesson 6 Exercise 2 will guide you through how to set up an I2C device:

https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-fundamentals/lessons/lesson-6-serial-com-i2c/topic/exercise-1-6-2/

I don't have the specific sensor that you are trying to use, so I can't test it for you, but give it a go, and let me know if you are stuck.

Best regards,

Edvin
