Analog Sensor

Makes it possible to interact with analog inputs on your device and obtain values that represent the analog input send by the sensors. The value received from an analog input read from the sensor goes from 0 to 1027.

How To Connect

Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
  },

  devices: {
    sensor: { driver: 'analog-sensor', pin: 0, lowerLimit: 100, upperLimit: 900 }
  }
});

How To Use

This example detects lower and upper limits on a photoresistor sensor.

var Cylon = require('cylon');

Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
  },

  devices: {
    sensor: { driver: 'analog-sensor', pin: 0, lowerLimit: 100, upperLimit: 900 }
  },

  work: function(my) {
    var analogValue = 0;

    every((1).second(), function() {
      analogValue = my.sensor.analogRead();
      console.log('Analog value => ', analogValue);
    });

    my.sensor.on('lowerLimit', function(val) {
      console.log("Lower limit reached!");
      console.log('Analog value => ', val);
    });

    my.sensor.on('upperLimit', function(val) {
      console.log("Upper limit reached!");
      console.log('Analog value => ', val);
    });
  }
}).start();
