Methods

Initialize(IAnalogInputPort, Voltage, Current, Voltage?, Current?)

Initializes the CurrentTransducer instance Use this method when a derived class must do pre-initialization work

View Source
protected virtual void Initialize(IAnalogInputPort analogPort, Voltage maxVoltage, Current maxCurrent, Voltage? minVoltage = null, Current? minCurrent = null)
Parameters
TypeNameDescription
Meadow.Hardware.IAnalogInputPortanalogPortThe analog input port connected to the transducer
Meadow.Units.VoltagemaxVoltageThe maximum voltage the CT outputs
Meadow.Units.CurrentmaxCurrentThe sensed current at the maximum output voltage
System.Nullable<Meadow.Units.Voltage>minVoltageThe minimum voltage the CT outputs
System.Nullable<Meadow.Units.Current>minCurrentThe sensed current at the minimum output voltage

ConvertVoltageToCurrent(Voltage)

Converts an output voltage from the CT to a sensed current using linear interpolation

View Source
protected virtual Current ConvertVoltageToCurrent(Voltage voltage)
Returns

Meadow.Units.Current: The current being sensed by the CT

Parameters
TypeNameDescription
Meadow.Units.VoltagevoltageThe ADC voltage read by the AnalogPort

ReadSensor()

Read value from sensor

View Source
protected override Task<Current> ReadSensor()
Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Meadow.Units.Current>: unitized value### StartUpdating(TimeSpan?) Starts updating the sensor on the updateInterval frequency specified

View Source
public override void StartUpdating(TimeSpan? updateInterval = null)
Parameters
TypeNameDescription
System.Nullable<System.TimeSpan>updateIntervalA TimeSpan that specifies how long to
wait between readings

StopUpdating()

Stops sampling the sensor
