Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MPL3115A2 ( int  bus,
int  devAddr = MPL3115A2_I2C_ADDRESS,
uint8_t  mode = 6 
)

Instantiates an MPL3115A2 object

Parameters
busNumber of the used bus
devAddrAddress of the used I2C device
modeMPL3115A2 oversampling (6 = 64x)

Here is the call graph for this function:

Member Function Documentation

int testSensor ( void  )

MPL3115A2 object destructor; basically, it closes the I2C connection. ~MPL3115A2(); no need for this here, as the I2c connection will be closed when the m_i2ControlCtx variable will go out of scope Tests the sensor and tries to determine if the sensor is operating by looking for small variations in the value

Here is the call graph for this function:

int resetSensor ( void  )

Performs a soft reset of the MPL3115A2 device to ensure it is in a known state. This function can be used to reset the min/max temperature and pressure values.

Here is the call graph for this function:

void dumpSensor ( void  )

Dumps out the I2C register block to stdout

Here is the call graph for this function:

int sampleData ( void  )

Initiates a temperature/pressure mesasurement and waits for the function to complete. Temperature and pressure registers can be read after this call.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

int32_t getPressureReg ( int  reg)

Reads the pressure value from MPL3115A2 [Pa * 100]

Parameters
regBase address of the pressure register

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

int32_t getTempReg ( int  reg)

Reads the temperature value from MPL3115A2 [degC * 1000]

Parameters
regBase address of the temperature register

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

float getPressure ( int  bSampleData = true)

Reads the current pressure value from MPL3115A2 [Pa]

Parameters
bSampleDataSets non-zero to a sample reading

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

float getTemperature ( int  bSampleData = true)

Reads the current temperature value from MPL3115A2 [degC]

Parameters
bSampleDataSets non-zero to a sample reading

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

float getSealevelPressure ( float  altitudeMeters = 0.0)

Reads the current pressure and, using a known altitude, calculates the sea level pressure value [Pa] This function should be preceded by the sampleData() call

Parameters
altitudeMetersAltitude in meters
float getAltitude ( float  sealevelPressure = 101325.0)

Reads the current pressure and, using a known sea level pressure, calculates the altitude value [m] This function should be preceded by the sampleData() call

Parameters
sealevelPressureCurrent sea level pressure
void setOversampling ( uint8_t  oversampling)

Defines the oversampling setting (ranges from 0 to 7). The value represents 2^n samples (ranging from 1 to 128). The time to calculate a sample is approximately (2^n * 4 + 2) ms

Parameters
oversamplingNew oversampling value

Here is the caller graph for this function:

uint8_t getOversampling ( void  )

Returns the current oversampling value

float getTemperatureMax ( void  )

Reads the maximum measured temperature [degC]

Here is the call graph for this function:

float getTemperatureMin ( void  )

Reads the minimum measured temperature [degC]

Here is the call graph for this function:

float getPressureMax ( void  )

Reads the maximum measured pressure [Pa]

Here is the call graph for this function:

float getPressureMin ( void  )

Reads the minimum measured pressure [Pa]

Here is the call graph for this function:

float convertTempCtoF ( float  fTemp)

Converts temperature from degC*1000 to degF*1000

Parameters
iTempTemperature in degC
float convertPaToinHg ( float  fPressure)

Converts pressure from Pa*100 to inHg*10000 This is set for 15degC (Pa = 0.0002961 in Hg) TODO: Change the function to add temperature calibration

Parameters
iPressurePressure in Pa
mraa::Result i2cWriteReg ( uint8_t  reg,
uint8_t  value 
)

Writes one byte to an I2C register

Parameters
regAddress of the register
valueByte to be written

Here is the caller graph for this function:

uint16_t i2cReadReg_16 ( int  reg)

Reads two bytes from an I2C register

Parameters
regAddress of the register

Here is the caller graph for this function:

uint8_t i2cReadReg_8 ( int  reg)

Reads a one-byte register

Parameters
regAddress of the register
