Pre Alpha 7.2

Instead of a TSL2561 if you accidentally get a TSL2591 you can use the following instead. Follow all of the same instructions under brightness sensor and then in dev mode:

1. Install pip3 if you don't already have it with sudo apt-get install python3-pip
2. sudo pip3 install python-tsl2591 smbus Sudo is important here, otherwise the module will disappear after a reboot
3. cp /opt/crankshaft/service_lightsensor.py /opt/crankshaft/service_lightsensor.py.old
4. insert the file from the repository here at /opt/crankshaft/service_lightsensor.py
5. reboot to regular mode
6. Profit
