Class SimulatedAnalogInputPort

Represents a simulated analog input port

Assembly: Meadow.Foundation.dll
View Source
Declaration
public class SimulatedAnalogInputPort : SimulatedSensorBase, ISimulatedSensor, IAnalogInputPort, IAnalogPort, IPort<IAnalogChannelInfo>, IDisposable, IObservable<IChangeResult<Voltage>>

Inheritance: System.Object -> Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.SimulatedSensorBase

Implements:
Meadow.Peripherals.Sensors.ISimulatedSensor, Meadow.Hardware.IAnalogInputPort, Meadow.Hardware.IAnalogPort, Meadow.Hardware.IPort<Meadow.Hardware.IAnalogChannelInfo>, System.IDisposable, System.IObservable<Meadow.IChangeResult<Meadow.Units.Voltage>>

Properties

VoltageSampleBuffer

Gets the sample buffer.

View Source
Declaration
public Voltage[] VoltageSampleBuffer { get; }

ReferenceVoltage

The maximum voltage that the Analog Port can read. Typically 3.3V. This value is used to convert raw ADC values into voltage.

View Source
Declaration
public Voltage ReferenceVoltage { get; set; }

Voltage

Gets the average value of the values in the buffer. Use in conjunction with StartSampling() for long-running analog sampling. For occasional sampling, use Read().

View Source
Declaration
public Voltage Voltage { get; }

UpdateInterval

A System.TimeSpan that specifies how long to wait between readings. This value influences how often Updated events are raised and IObservable consumers are notified.

View Source
Declaration
public TimeSpan UpdateInterval { get; }

SampleCount

Number of samples to take per reading. If > 0, then the port will take multiple readings and automatically average them to reduce noise, a process known as oversampling.

View Source
Declaration
public int SampleCount { get; }

SampleInterval

Duration between samples when oversampling.

View Source
Declaration
public TimeSpan SampleInterval { get; }

Channel

Gets the channel associated with the port.

View Source
Declaration
public IAnalogChannelInfo Channel { get; }

Pin

Gets the pin associated with the port.

View Source
Declaration
public IPin Pin { get; }

ValueType

Gets the type of the sensor's value.

View Source
Declaration
public override Type ValueType { get; }

Methods

Dispose()

Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.

View Source
Declaration
public void Dispose()

Read()

Gets the current voltage. For frequent reads, use StartUpdating() and StopUpdating() in conjunction with the SampleBuffer.

View Source
Declaration
public Task<Voltage> Read()
Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Meadow.Units.Voltage>: The current voltage.### StartUpdating(TimeSpan?) Starts continuously sampling the analog port.

This method also starts raising Updated events and notifying IObservable subscribers. Use the updateInterval parameter to specify how often events and notifications are raised.

View Source
Declaration
public void StartUpdating(TimeSpan? updateInterval = null)
Parameters
TypeNameDescription
System.Nullable<System.TimeSpan>updateIntervalThe interval between readings.

StopUpdating()

Stops sampling the analog port.

View Source
Declaration
public void StopUpdating()

Subscribe(IObserver<IChangeResult<Voltage>>)

Notifies the provider that an observer is to receive notifications.

View Source
Declaration
public IDisposable Subscribe(IObserver<IChangeResult<Voltage>> observer)
Returns

System.IDisposable: A reference to an interface that allows observers to stop receiving notifications before the provider has finished sending them.

Parameters
TypeNameDescription
System.IObserver<Meadow.IChangeResult<Meadow.Units.Voltage>>observerThe object that is to receive notifications.

SetSensorValue(object)

Sets the simulated value for the sensor.

View Source
Declaration
public override void SetSensorValue(object value)
Parameters
TypeNameDescription
System.ObjectvalueThe value to set for the sensor.

Events

Updated

Raised when the value of the reading changes.

View Source
Declaration
public event EventHandler<IChangeResult<Voltage>>? Updated
Event Type

System.EventHandler<Meadow.IChangeResult<Meadow.Units.Voltage>>
