Downloadable macro reference

Fc9-comp-macro.png SimReset1G
Resets the simulation to 0.0 on X and Y and 1.0 on Z as if the accelerometer was sitting completely horizontal. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png Write_Register
Writes a data value to a specific register on the accelerometer 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Reg
 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Data
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png CollectXYZData
Collect the data from the local accelerometer buffers. The Axis parameter specifies the Axis to be read. 0 / 'x' / 'X' - X axis 1 / 'y' / 'Y' - Y axis 2 / 'z' / 'Z' - Z axis 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Axis
 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png UpdateXYZData
Reads from the accelerometer and updates the local XYZ variables. Returns 1 for new data and 0 for no new data 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png SimSetXYZ
Allows the XYZ slider values to be set via the simulation 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT X
 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Y
 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Z
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Fc9-comp-macro.png Initialise
Sets up up the communication bus and initialises the accelerometer module. Returns 0 for success and > 0 for fail. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return



Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Bit Depth
The number of binary bits used to store the sensor's X,Y,Z readings. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Bus Type
The interface used to talk to the accelerometer. I2C - Two Wire Interface SDA / SCL SPI - Four Wire Interface MISO / MOSI / SCK / CS 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Data Rate
Configures how often the sensor collects a new reading. More often = better instant reaction to new events Less often = more stable results 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Scale
The accelerometer readings are scaled based on the maximum amount of G force the sensor can represent. 6G = Bigger gravitational force 2G = Higher resolution 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Int Option
Sets if we use the interrupt pin to check if new data is available 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Power Option
Sets if the sensor is always powered or powered via a microcontroller output pin. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Connections
Fc9-type-5-icon.png Interrupt Pin
Interrupt pin from the sensor, checked when performing an update to see if the sensor has new data available.  
Fc9-type-5-icon.png Power Pin
Power pin if the sensor is powered from an I/O pin. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png SPI Connections
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Channel
SPI Channel selector 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Prescale
Prescale option selector 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png MOSI
SPI Data Out Pin SDO - Also Known as Master Out Slave In (MOSI) when used in Master mode. 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png MISO
SPI Data In Pin SDI - Also Known as Master In Slave Out (MISO) when used in Master mode. 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png CLK
SPI Clock Pin CLK - The Clock signal is driven by the SPI master. 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png CS / SS
Chip Select / Slave Select Pin Master Mode: General purpose output pin used to select the remote SPI device. Slave Mode: Hardware chip select pin input used to select the SPI device.  
Fc9-conn-icon.png Simulation
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Simulation Coms
Yes: Accelerometer data will come from the simulation component sliders. No: Accelerometer data will come from the CAL component - I2C or SPI - Injector etc
