      I'm trying to translate a Python library for the SI1145 into a microPython library.
      Things were going good until I had to translate this line
      paramVal = self._device.readU8(SI1145_REG_PARAMRD)

      according to the documentation the readU8 command reads an unsigned byte from the specified register.
      I tried to translate this to
      paramVal = self._device.readfrom_mem(self._address, SI1145_REG_PARAMRD, 1)
      which results in a
      TypeError: unsupported types for : 'bytes', 'bytes'

      I'm not sure if the problem is with the translation I made since I don't really understand what the error means.

      You can find the original python library here

      The code I came up with so far:

      0_1515759338877_SI1145.py

        Never mind I found the problem.
        It was actually in the line above
        paramVal = self._device.readfrom_mem(self._address, SI1145_REG_PARAMRD, 1)
