MaxBotixSonar.h file

Contains the MaxBotixSonar sensor subclass and the MaxBotixSonar_Range variable subclass.

These are for the MaxBotix HRXL-MaxSonar ultrasonic range finders.

Classes

class MaxBotixSonar: The Sensor sub-class for the MaxBotix ultrasonic range finders.
class MaxBotixSonar_Range: The Variable sub-class used for the range output from a MaxBotix HRXL-MaxSonar ultrasonic range finder.

#define HRXL_NUM_VARIABLES = 1: Sensor::_numReturnedValues; the HRXL can report 1 value.
#define HRXL_INC_CALC_VARIABLES = 0: Sensor::_incCalcValues; we don't calculate any additional values.

The sensor timing for a Maxbotix HRXL ultrasonic range finder

#define HRXL_WARM_UP_TIME_MS = 160: Sensor::_warmUpTime_ms; warm up time to completion of header: 160ms.
#define HRXL_STABILIZATION_TIME_MS = 0: Sensor::_stabilizationTime_ms; the HRXL is stable as soon as it warms up (0ms stabilization).
#define HRXL_MEASUREMENT_TIME_MS = 166: Sensor::_measurementTime_ms; the HRXL takes 166ms to complete a measurement.

The range variable from a Maxbotix HRXL ultrasonic range finder

Construct a new MaxBotixSonar_Range object.

Parameters
parentSense	The parent MaxBotixSonar providing the result values.
uuid	A universally unique identifier (UUID or GUID) for the variable; optional with the default value of an empty string.
varCode	A short code to help identify the variable in files; optional with a default value of "SonarRange".

#define HRXL_RESOLUTION = 0: Decimals places in string representation; range should have 0 - resolution is 1mm.
#define HRXL_VAR_NUM = 0: Sensor variable number; range is stored in sensorValues[0].
#define HRXL_VAR_NAME = "distance": Variable name in ODM2 controlled vocabulary; "distance".
#define HRXL_UNIT_NAME = "millimeter": Variable unit name in ODM2 controlled vocabulary; "millimeter".
#define HRXL_DEFAULT_CODE = "SonarRange": Default variable short code; "SonarRange".
