Code to interface a Temperature sensor(TMP006)

#!/usr/bin/env python

from __future__ import print_function
import time, sys, atexit
from upm import pyupm_tmp006 as TMP006

def main():
    # Instantiate the Infrared-Thermopile Sensor on I2C on bus 1
    mySensor = TMP006.TMP006(2)
    # activate periodic measurements
    mySensor.setActive();

    while(1):
        print("Temperature : "+str(mySensor.getTemperature(True)))
        hex(mySensor.getConfig())
        time.sleep(.5)
# Print out temperature value and config-reg in hex every 0.5 seconds
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
