Sensor Constructors

AtlasScientificpH::AtlasScientificpH(int8_t powerPin, uint8_t i2cAddressHex = 0x63, uint8_t measurementsToAverage = 1) explicit

Construct a new Atlas Scientific pH object using the primary hardware I2C instance.

Parameters
powerPin

The pin on the mcu controlling powering to the Atlas pH circuit. Use -1 if it is continuously powered.

  • Requires a 3.3V and 5V power supply
i2cAddressHex The I2C address of the Atlas circuit; optional with the Atlas-supplied default address of 0x63.
measurementsToAverage The number of measurements to take and average before giving a "final" result from the sensor; optional with a default value of 1.

AtlasScientificpH::AtlasScientificpH(TwoWire* theI2C, int8_t powerPin, uint8_t i2cAddressHex = 0x63, uint8_t measurementsToAverage = 1)

Construct a new Atlas Scientific pH object using a secondary hardware I2C instance.

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

The pin on the mcu controlling powering to the Atlas pH circuit. Use -1 if it is continuously powered.

  • Requires a 3.3V and 5V power supply
i2cAddressHex The I2C address of the Atlas circuit; optional with the Atlas-supplied default address of 0x63.
measurementsToAverage The number of measurements to take and average before giving a "final" result from the sensor; optional with a default value of 1.

Example Code

The Atlas pH sensor is used in the menu a la carte example.

1#include <sensors/AtlasScientificpH.h>

3// NOTE: Use -1 for any pins that don't apply or aren't being used.
4const int8_t AtlaspHPower = sensorPowerPin; // Power pin
5uint8_t AtlaspHi2c_addr = 0x63; // Default for pH is 0x63 (99)
6// All Atlas sensors have different default I2C addresses, but any of them can
7// be re-addressed to any 8 bit number. If using the default address for any
8// Atlas Scientific sensor, you may omit this argument.
9
10// Create an Atlas Scientific pH sensor object
11// AtlasScientificpH atlaspH(AtlaspHPower, AtlaspHi2c_addr);
12AtlasScientificpH atlaspH(AtlaspHPower);
13
14// Create a pH variable pointer for the pH sensor
15Variable* atlaspHpH =
16 new AtlasScientificpH_pH(&atlaspH, "12345678-abcd-1234-ef00-1234567890ab");
