Properties
MinVoltageReference
Minimum voltage reference
View Source
public Voltage MinVoltageReference { get; protected set; }
MaxVoltageReference
Maximum voltage reference
View Source
public Voltage MaxVoltageReference { get; protected set; }
SolarIntensity
Gets percentage of solar intensity, from 0 to 1.0, with 1.0 being
the MaxVoltageReference, and 0 being the MinVoltageReference.
View Source
public float? SolarIntensity { get; protected set; }
IsDisposed
Is the object disposed
View Source
public bool IsDisposed { get; }
Methods
Initialize()
Initialize the sensor
View Source
protected void Initialize()
ReadSensor()
Reads data from the sensor
View Source
protected override Task<float> ReadSensor()
Returns
System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Single>: The latest sensor reading### StartUpdating(TimeSpan?)
Starts continuously sampling the sensor
This method also starts raising SolarIntensityUpdated events and IObservable
subscribers getting notified. Use the readIntervalDuration parameter
to specify how often events and notifications are raised/sent.
View Source
public override void StartUpdating(TimeSpan? updateInterval)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
System.Nullable<System.TimeSpan> | updateInterval | A TimeSpan that specifies how long to |
wait between readings. This value influences how often `*Updated`
events are raised and `IObservable` consumers are notified. |
StopUpdating()
Stops sampling the solar intensity
View Source
public override void StopUpdating()
ConvertVoltageToIntensity(Voltage)
Converts a voltage reading to a solar intensity percentage, taking into account the minimum and maximum expected values.
View Source
protected float ConvertVoltageToIntensity(Voltage voltage)
Returns
System.Single: 0.0 - 1.0
Parameters
| Type | Name |
|---|---|
Meadow.Units.Voltage | voltage |
Dispose()
Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
View Source
public void Dispose()
Dispose(bool)
Dispose of the object
View Source
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
System.Boolean | disposing | Is disposing |
