Sensors

The INGA platform contains multiple sensors that can be controlled with the standard Contiki sensor interface:

• Accelerometer
• Gyroscope
• Pressure/Temperature sensor
• Battery sensor

General Usage

#include "sensors.h"

Sensor lookup

The sensors_find() method can be used to get a pointer to a specific sensor. For that, each sensor can be identified by a string name.

struct sensors_sensor *mysensor;
mysensor = sensors_find("Name");

Sensor	Name
Accelerometer	"Acc"
Gyroscope	"Gyro"
Pressure	"Press"
Temperature	"Temp"
Battery	"Batt"

Sensor usage

All sensors share a common interface, that allows to activate/deactivate the sensor, configure it and read its data.

Activate sensor

SENSORS_ACTIVATE(sensor_name);

Deactivate sensor

SENSORS_DEACTIVATE(sensor_name);

Configure sensor

sensor_name.configure(type, value);

Readout sensor

sensor_name.value(NAME);
