A simple C library to initialize and read the ambient light measurement (in Lux) from the MAX44009 sensor. The sensor has more options and an interrupt mode, but the aim of this library is simply to enable continuous samples and read them into a floating point value.

max44009's Issues

Read of LUX_*_BYTE registers gets duplicate bytes instead of two registers

From this line

max44009/max44009.c

Line 83 in f7e864e

i = read(file_i2c, ucTemp, 2);

I get two identical bytes XY XY most of the time instead of the expected XY 0Z pattern.
