rotate_mode

[ShorTie8]

It be nice for me at least to see all the readings. So I add a rotate_mode like proximity. Anything > 0 enables it, default is 10 seconds for me.

This is a good idea- thank you!

Only problems it after awhile it does crash with

Traceback (most recent call last): File "all-in-one-no-pm.py", line 126, in proximity = ltr559.get_proximity() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ltr559-0.1.0-py2.7.egg/ltr559/init.py", line 454, in get_proximity self.update_sensor() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ltr559-0.1.0-py2.7.egg/ltr559/init.py", line 392, in update_sensor self._ps0 = self._ltr559.get('PS_DATA').ch0 IndexError: tuple index out of range

and I know nothing about Python .. :/~

That's odd- I can't see anything in update_sensor ( in the ltr559 library ) that should ever throw a tuple index error.

What do you see if you run:

python -c "import ltr559;print(ltr559.__version__)"

Or, alternatively:

pip show ltr559

In retrospect that should have been obvious by the fact ltr559-0.1.0 was right there in your original comment! Sometimes I can't see the wood for the trees.

I can't see any reason- at a glance- why that error would crop up. I'll run some tests.
