Macro reference

ControlHeater

	ControlHeater
Controls the in-built heater element to speed up sensor recovery time in case of condensation. Humidity and temperature cannot be read while Heater is active.
- BOOL	Active
0 = Off (Sensor Reading Available) / 1 = On (Sensor Reading Disabled)
- VOID	Return

DataAvailable

	DataAvailable
Checks to see if new sensor data is available. Returns 0 if no new data is available. Returns 1 if new Temperature data is available. Returns 2 if new Humidity data is available. Returns 3 if new Temp and Humidity data is available.
- BYTE	Return

Initialise

	Initialise
Configures the I2C peripheral ready for communications.
- BYTE	Return

ReadHumidityInt

	ReadHumidityInt
Samples the humidity from the sensor and returns the relative humidity reading as a integer byte from 0 to 100
- BYTE	Return

ReadHumidityReal

	ReadHumidityReal
Samples the humidity from the sensor and returns the relative humidity reading as a float from 0.0 to 100.0.
- FLOAT	Return

ReadRegister

	ReadRegister
Reads an 8-bit value from one of the registers onboard the sensor IC.
- BYTE	Address
- BYTE	Return

ReadTemperatureInt

	ReadTemperatureInt
Samples the temperature from the sensor and returns the reading in degrees C as an integer from -40 to 120.
- INT	Return

ReadTemperatureReal

	ReadTemperatureReal
Samples the temperature from the sensor and returns the reading in degrees C as a float from -40.0 to 120.0.
- FLOAT	Return

WriteRegister

	WriteRegister
Writes a value to a register on the sensor IC.
- BYTE	Address
- BYTE	Data
- VOID	Return

	Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
