Function Documentation

void _DFLEXcheckSensor

(

tSensors

link )

Check if the sensor is set to raw and that it's been configured as a sensorAnalogInactive. If not, reconfigure the port.

Note: this is an internal function and should not be called directly

Parameters:

link	the dFlex Sensor port number

Definition at line 153 of file dexterind-flex.h.

void _DFLEXreadCalVals	(	int &	lowval,
		int &	highval
	)

Read the low and high calibration values from a data file.

Note: this is an internal function and should not be called directly

Parameters:

lowval	the low calibration value
highval	the high calibration value

Definition at line 228 of file dexterind-flex.h.

void _DFLEXwriteCalVals	(	int	lowval,
		int	highval
	)

Write the low and high calibration values to a data file.

Note: this is an internal function and should not be called directly

Parameters:

lowval	the low calibration value
highval	the high calibration value

Definition at line 168 of file dexterind-flex.h.

void DFLEXcalHigh

(

int

highval )

Calibrate the dFlex Sensor's high calibration value with the supplied value.

Parameters:

highval

the sensor's high calibration value

Definition at line 140 of file dexterind-flex.h.

void DFLEXcalHigh

(

tSensors

link )

Calibrate the dFlex Sensor's high calibration value with the current raw sensor reading.

Parameters:

link	the dFlex Sensor port number

Examples:

dexterind-flex-test2.c.

Definition at line 128 of file dexterind-flex.h.

void DFLEXcalLow

(

int

lowval )

Calibrate the dFlex Sensor's low calibration value with the supplied value.

Parameters:

lowval

the sensor's low calibration value

Definition at line 118 of file dexterind-flex.h.

void DFLEXcalLow

(

tSensors

link )

Calibrate the dFlex Sensor's low calibration value with the current raw sensor reading.

Parameters:

link	the dFlex Sensor port number

Examples:

dexterind-flex-test2.c.

Definition at line 106 of file dexterind-flex.h.

int DFLEXvalNorm

(

tSensors

link )

Read the normalised value of the dFlex Sensor, based on the low and high values.

Note: this is not a linear value

Parameters:

link	the dFlex Sensor port number

Returns:

the normalised value (0-100)

Examples:

dexterind-flex-test1.c, and dexterind-flex-test2.c.

Definition at line 82 of file dexterind-flex.h.

int DFLEXvalRaw

(

tSensors

link )

Read the raw value of the dFlex Sensor.

Parameters:

link	the dFlex Sensor port number

Returns:

the raw value of the dFlex Sensor

Examples:

dexterind-flex-test1.c, and dexterind-flex-test2.c.

Definition at line 68 of file dexterind-flex.h.
