public class HiTechnicAngleSensor
extends I2CSensor

Hitechnic Angle sensor
The Angle sensor measures axle rotation position and rotation speed.

The code for this sensor has not been tested. Please report test results to the leJOS forum.

Supported modes
Mode name	Description	unit(s)	Getter
Absolute angle	Measures the rotation position of a rotating axle	Degrees (0-359)	getAngleMode()
Accumulated angle	Measures the accumulated number of degrees an axle has rotated	Degrees	getAccumulatedAngleMode()
Angular velocity	the speed of the axle rotation	rotations / second	getAngularVelocityMode()

Sensor configuration
The zero position of the sensor can be set and stored in the sensors memory using the calibrateAngle method. The accumulated angle can be set to zero using the resetAccumulatedAngle method. The accumulated angle is not stored in memory.

Method Detail

init

protected void init()

resetAccumulatedAngle

public void resetAccumulatedAngle()

Reset the rotation count of accumulated angle to zero. Not saved in EEPORM.

calibrateAngle

public void calibrateAngle()

Calibrate the zero position of angle. Zero position is saved in EEPROM on sensor. Thread sleeps for 50ms while that is done.

getAngleMode

public SensorMode getAngleMode()

HiTechnic angle sensor, Angle mode
Measures the rotation position of a rotating axle.

Size and content of the sample
The sample contains one elements containing the angle of the sensor in the range of 0 to 359 degrees.

getAccumulatedAngleMode

public SensorMode getAccumulatedAngleMode()

HiTechnic angle sensor, Accumulated angle mode
Measures the accumulated number of degrees an axle has rotated.

Size and content of the sample
The sample contains one elements containing the accumulated rotation (in degrees) of the axle.

getAngularVelocityMode

public SensorMode getAngularVelocityMode()

HiTechnic angle sensor, Angular velocity mode
Measures the rotational speed of an axle.

Size and content of the sample
The sample contains one elements containing the angular velocity (in degrees) of the axle.
