Method Detail

getId

public int getId()

setTypeAndMode

public void setTypeAndMode(int type,
                           int mode)

readBooleanValue

public boolean readBooleanValue()

Reads the boolean value of the sensor.

Returns:

Boolean value of sensor.

readRawValue

public int readRawValue()

Reads the raw value of the sensor.

Returns:

Raw sensor value. Range is device dependent.

readNormalizedValue

public int readNormalizedValue()

Reads the normalized value of the sensor.

Returns:

Normalized value. 0 to 1023

readScaledValue

public int readScaledValue()

Returns scaled value, depending on mode of sensor. e.g. BOOLEANMODE returns 0 or 1. e.g. PCTFULLSCALE returns 0 to 100.

Returns:
