Sensor Constructors
Construct a new Atlas Scientific EC object using the primary hardware I2C instance. The pin on the mcu controlling powering to the Atlas EC circuit. Use -1 if it is continuously powered. Construct a new Atlas Scientific EC object using a secondary hardware I2C instance. The pin on the mcu controlling powering to the Atlas EC circuit. Use -1 if it is continuously powered.
AtlasScientificEC(int8_t powerPin,
uint8_t i2cAddressHex = ATLAS_
Parameters
powerPin
i2cAddressHex
The I2C address of the Atlas circuit; optional with the Atlas-supplied default address of 0x64.
measurementsToAverage
The number of measurements to take and average before giving a "final" result from the sensor; optional with a default value of 1.
AtlasScientificEC(TwoWire* theI2C,
int8_t powerPin,
uint8_t i2cAddressHex = ATLAS_
Parameters
theI2C
A TwoWire instance for I2C communication. Due to the limitations of the Arduino core, only a hardware I2C instance can be used. For an AVR board, there is only one I2C instance possible and this form of the constructor should not be used. For a SAMD board, this can be used if a secondary I2C port is created on one of the extra SERCOMs.
powerPin
i2cAddressHex
The I2C address of the Atlas circuit; optional with the Atlas-supplied default address of 0x64.
measurementsToAverage
The number of measurements to take and average before giving a "final" result from the sensor; optional with a default value of 1.
