# Temperature Sensor

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()
```

**To run the program,** \
**Step 1: save the file as tmp006.py**\
**Step 2: Run the Program in the board's terminal using** `python3 tmp006.py`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ruggedboard.gitbook.io/ruggedboard/lib-mraa-and-upm-sensor-libraries/example-programs/temperature.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
