◆ srf08_get_distances()

int srf08_get_distances ( const srf08_t dev,
uint16_t *  range_array,
int  num_echos,
srf08_mode_t  ranging_mode 
)

Get all distances measured from the SRF08 ultrasonic sensor.

The results of a ranging can be returned in inches, centimeters or microseconds. The SRF08 can detect up to 17 targets.

Parameters
[in]devdevice descriptor of an SRF08 sensor
[in]range_arraya pointer to a buffer holding the ranging results.
[in]num_echosnumber of stored measurements (echos)
[in]ranging_modethere are three real ranging modes, which return the result in inches, centimeters or microseconds. Another set of three fake ranging modes do the same but without transmitting the burst.
Returns
number of measured echos on success
-1 on ranging mode errors
-2 if num_echos exceeds the max. number of possible measurements
-3 if i2c read high byte failed
-4 if i2c read low byte failed

◆ srf08_init()

int srf08_init ( srf08_t dev,
const srf08_params_t params 
)

Initialize the SRF08 ultrasonic sensor.

Parameters
[in]devdevice descriptor of an SRF08 sensor
[in]paramsinitialization parameters
Returns
0 on successful initialization
-3 on max. range error
-4 on max. gain error

◆ srf08_set_max_gain()

int srf08_set_max_gain ( const srf08_t dev,
uint8_t  max_gain 
)

Set the maximum of the analog stages.

@ note This value is just a limitation of the maximum amplification and not the actual. While measuring, this value starts at its minimum and increases approx. each 75 us until the maximum value is reached.

Parameters
[in]devdevice descriptor of an SRF08 sensor
[in]max_gainthe maximal gain value.
Returns
1 on success
-1 on undefined device given

◆ srf08_set_max_range()

int srf08_set_max_range ( const srf08_t dev,
uint8_t  max_range 
)

Set the maximum range of the SRF08.

Parameters
[in]devdevice descriptor of an SRF08 sensor
[in]max_rangethe adjusted maximal range is: max_range = (max_range x 43mm) + 43mm. The hardware limit is 6m.
Returns
1 on success
-1 on undefined device given
