TSL2591 needs adjustment to gain during the day #1333

Open Vertikar opened 1 week ago

Vertikar commented 1 week ago

Hey Aaron, found an issue with the default gain setting during the day.

Issue:

Too much light during the day for the default setting of 25x gain - self.tsl2591.gain = adafruit_tsl2591.GAIN_MED
Was working fine overnight until about 10am here, and i can see its started throwing an exception in the logs below.

Fix:

Change gain to self.tsl2591.gain = adafruit_tsl2591.GAIN_LOW, have tested this during the day, will see how it goes tonight, and if it needs to be changed overnight. Shared the working logs below for this too.

My plan is to add these sensor settings to the config page eventually, but I have not decided on the best way to do that yet.

Vertikar commented 1 week ago

So I had a look last night, and it looks like using the low gain setting, it won't go below 4 lux, in the log below I flicked it back to medium before 23:25:42 and did a restart. Included some more logs further down showing it decreasing to 4 then not going any further.

I still have my TSL2591 hooked up and it performs the same. 4 lux on low gain appears to be the minimum. I will work on the interface options.

Vertikar commented 1 week ago

For reference, I bumped the gain to HIGH last night, and that maxed out after 127 lux this morning. it had a minimum of 0.0458 at 6:45am before the moon had fully set and before the sun had risen above 9 degrees. Think it will need some testing when the moon is new too, as I suspect the maximum gain setting maybe useful then

How have you got yours setup, with the camera under the clear dome? still got mine external slightly weather protected until I get my enclosure fully sorted.

astrotater commented 1 week ago

Is it possible to use an LDR to automatically set the gain of the TSL2591? I think Robert Brown's SQM meter uses this approach.

Not sure if this is necessary if we know the ranges of the gains, it could be done in software, changing the gain as it approaches the min and max ranges of each gain setting before it overflows

Looks to be working for day time so far, I'll see how it goes tonight and let you know

I only just updated it now, hence why it only flicked to day mode at 11am

aaronwmorris commented 42 minutes ago

Yeah, it starts in a state where it does not know if it is day or night. When it detects the right setting, it will switch to the right mode.
