ISL29035: Digital Light Sensor

Overview

If trigger is not enabled the sample displays measured light intensity every 2 seconds.

If trigger is enabled the sample displays light intensity from the ISL29035 sensor every 10 seconds if it is within +/- 50 lux of the last read sample. If the sensor detects an intensity outside that range the application wakes, displays the intensity, resets the intensity range window to center on the new value, then continues as before.

Requirements

This sample uses an external breakout for the sensor. A devicetree overlay must be provided to connect the sensor to the I2C bus and identify the interrupt signal.
