API for the AM2315 Temperature & Humidity Sensor. More...

Detailed Description

• ID: am2315
• Name: Digital Temperature and Humidity Sensor
• Category: temp
• Manufacturer: adafruit
• Link: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1293
• Connection: i2c

AM2315 by Measurement Specialties (http://www.aosong.com/asp_bin/Products/en/AM2315.pdf) is a digital humidity sensor with temperature output. RH reports between 0 and 100%, and the temperature range is -40 to +125 degC. The sampling period of this sensor is 2 seconds. Reads occurring more often than that return cached data.

    float humidity = 0.0;
    float temperature = 0.0;

    upm::AM2315 sensor(0, AM2315_I2C_ADDRESS);

    sensor.testSensor();

    while (!doWork) {
        humidity = sensor.getHumidity();
        temperature = sensor.getTemperature();

        std::cout << "humidity value = " << humidity << ", temperature value = " << temperature
                  << std::endl;
        upm_delay_us(500000);
    }

	)

Instantiates an AM2315 object

Parameters

bus	Number of the used bus
devAddr	Address of the used I2C device

Member Function Documentation

float getHumidity

(

void

)

Gets the current measured humidity [RH]

Data is updated every 2 seconds - accesses occurring more often than that return cached data

Here is the caller graph for this function:

float getTemperature

(

void

)

Gets the humidity cell temperature [degC]

Data is updated every 2 seconds - accesses occurring more often than that return cached data

Here is the caller graph for this function:

float getTemperatureF

(

void

)

Gets the humidity cell temperature [degF]

Data is updated every 2 seconds - accesses occurring more often than that return cached data

Here is the call graph for this function:

int testSensor

(

void

)

Function intended to test the device and verify it is operating correctly.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int i2cWriteReg_32	(	int	reg,
		uint32_t	ival
	)

Writes a four-byte (32b) register

Note: these access routines are not the normal accesses to an I2C device. AM2315 contains a microcontroller that manages the actual readings. These handlers then make requests over I2C using a protocol defined by AM2315.

Parameters

reg	Address of the register
ival	32b value

int i2cWriteReg_16	(	int	reg,
		uint16_t	ival
	)

Writes a two-byte (16b) register

Parameters

reg	Address of the register
ival	16b value

int i2cWriteReg_8	(	int	reg,
		uint8_t	ival
	)

Writes a one-byte (8b) register

Parameters

reg	Address of the register
ival	8b value

uint32_t i2cReadReg_32

(

int

reg

)

Reads a four-byte register

Parameters

reg	Address of the register

Here is the caller graph for this function:

uint16_t i2cReadReg_16

(

int

reg

)

Reads a two-byte register

Parameters

reg	Address of the register

Here is the caller graph for this function:

uint8_t i2cReadReg_8

(

int

reg

)

Reads a one-byte register

Parameters

reg	Address of the register
