Examples

Sample program using the EBM015 - Magnetometer sensor.

Reads either the accelerometer or compass data and displays on the LCD.

EBM015 Example

Macro reference

	SimReset1G
- VOID	Return

	UpdateCompassData
Reads from the compass and updates the local XYZ variables. Returns 1 for new data and 0 for no new data
- BYTE	Return

	SimSetAccelerometer
Allows the XYZ slider values to be set via the simulation
- INT	X
- INT	Y
- INT	Z
- VOID	Return

	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
- BYTE	Axis
- INT	Return

	UpdateAccelerometerData
Reads from the accelerometer and updates the local XYZ variables. Returns 1 for new data and 0 for no new data
- BYTE	Return

	SimSetCompass
Allows the XYZ slider values to be set via the simulation
- INT	X
- INT	Y
- INT	Z
- VOID	Return

	Initialise
Sets up up the communication bus and initialises the accelerometer module. Returns 0 for success and > 0 for fail.
- BYTE	Return

	Comms Mode
Specifies the communications mode. Interrupt - Wait for the interrupt pin to go high before allowing new data to be sampled. Polling - New data is sampled without needing to check the interrupt pin.

	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.
	SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
	SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal)
	Interrupt Pin
	Simulation
	Simulate Comms
Controls how the simulation data is generated, via the component GUI or via a I2C injector.
