LSM303 Class Reference

API for the LSM303 Accelerometer & Compass. More...

Detailed Description

This module defines the LSM303DLH 3-axis magnetometer/3-axis accelerometer. This module was tested with the Seeed Studio* Grove 6-Axis Accelerometer & Compass module used over I2C. The magnometer and acceleromter are accessed at two seperate I2C addresses.

// Instantiate LSM303 compass on I2C

// The sensor returns XZY, but the driver compensates and makes it XYZ

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LSM303 ( int  bus,
int  addrMag = LSM303_MAG,
int  addrAcc = LSM303_ACC,
int  accScale = 8 
)

Instantiates an LSM303 object

Parameters
i2cbus
addrMagnetometer
addrAccelerometer

Member Function Documentation

float getHeading ( )

LSM303 object destructor where is no more need for this here - I2c connection will be stopped automatically when m_i2c variable will go out of scope ~LSM303 (); Gets the current heading; headings <0 indicate an error has occurred

Returns
float

Here is the call graph for this function:

mraa::Result getCoordinates ( )

Gets the coordinates in the XYZ order

Here is the caller graph for this function:

mraa::Result getAcceleration ( )

Gets accelerometer values Should be called before other "get" functions for acceleration

int16_t * getRawCoorData ( )

Gets raw coordinate data; it is updated when getCoordinates() is called

int16_t getCoorX ( )

Gets the X component of the coordinates data

int16_t getCoorY ( )

Gets the Y component of the coordinates data

int16_t getCoorZ ( )

Gets the Z component of the coordinates data

int16_t * getRawAccelData ( )

Gets raw accelerometer data; it is updated when getAcceleration() is called

int16_t getAccelX ( )

Gets the X component of the acceleration data

int16_t getAccelY ( )

Gets the Y component of the acceleration data

int16_t getAccelZ ( )

Gets the Z component of the acceleration data
