Sensors probes
4.18.2. Measurement process
The luminosity sensor provides a digital signal using the I2C protocol.
Reading code:
{
// 1. Declare an object for the sensor
luxes mySensor(XTR_SOCKET_A);
// 2. Turn ON the sensor
mySensor.ON();
// 3. Read the sensor. Store parameters in local variables
uint32_t luminosity = mySensor.getLuminosity();
// 4. Turn off the sensor
mySensor.OFF();
}
