ELNC-6006 – Week 9 Lecture Notes

Sensor Interfacing Break - 15 mins

Acquiring Sensor Data: User Defined Flags (variables)
 Logical use of UDF
 Can be checked before code
Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC)
execution
 Successive Approximation  Triggering UDFs
 Convert to what?  Example use:
 How does it work? o A button has been pressed
 Voltage References
Data Structures
 Output formats
 Application of Linear Equation  Object Creation
 Example Isolation Calculations  Manipulation of Object Data
 Typedefs

Digital to Analog Conversion (DAC)

Code Example:
 Proportional Output
struct person{
 Discrete Voltage
char name[50];
 Voltage References
char gender;
 Binary Control of Voltage
char hairColour[3];
 Example Calculations
int age;
TTL int weight;
 FAST! int height;
 Active or Not Active };
 Active High or Low
struct person chris;

Pulse Counting Typedef

 For Sensors with Frequency Output  Definition
 Timer Modules as Counters  Use
 Value Comparison  Example
 Example Calculations for Frequency
 Nyquist Principle typedef struct person person_t;
person_t bob;
// Creates a user defined variable, of type
Pulse Width Modulation struct person, named "bob".
 Definition
 Changing Duty Cycles
 Calculating Average Voltage
 Calculating Duty Cycle
