👋 Thanks for this pull request! Unfortunately, it looks like the automated continuous integration (CI) test(s) failed. These can be tricky to fix so we've written a guide on how to fix them locally. It has pages about running pre-commit locally and another about building the docs locally with sphinx. Thanks for contributing to CircuitPython! If you have more questions, feel free to join the Adafruit Discord and post in #circuitpython-dev.

I don't think you made the right thing by removing the interrupts notion. They are usable even if there is no dedicated pin. The chip has a feature of setting the interrupt bits (in the ALS_INT register) with persistence protection (ALS_PERS) which you can read instead of the ALS register. This is helpful for continuous ambient light tracking with smoothing done by VEML7700 instead of your custom logic that would require more I2C communication.

@RaNo99 Sorry I missed your comment earlier. Was the old code OK as-is for that purpose? Would you be willing to submit an example that illustrates the use case? We can revert the deletions.

Hi, yes, I tried the old version and it indeed worked. Then I had to resort to a non-interrupt solution because I needed more flexibility, so I don't have the code example anymore.

yes please revert - better to add documentation to the readme explaining there's no external IRQ
