Configurations over UART/Serial TTY

To set the below parameters using serial input, use the following:

  • To change trigger active duration: TRG_D [integer for milliseconds]
  • To change gain factor: GAIN_F [integer for gain state - see note*]
  • To change ADC hysteresis value: HYST [integer]
  • To change sensor input pullup vRef low threshold: VFOL [integer in millivolts]
  • To change comparator trigger high threshold: VCOMP [integer in millivolts]
  • To change the duration between ADC measurements: LOOP_D [integer in milliseconds]

You can also enable or disable DEBUG output with: DEBUG [0|1]

You can query the current configuration with: CONFIG You can query the current state (including ADC measurements) with: STATE

To reset all settings to defaults, use: RESET

These commands should be wrapped in this format: 1CMD INT1

Examples:

  • GAIN_F 3 <~ set gain factor to index 3 (6x)
  • VFOL 2350 <~ set the vref floor to 2.35V
  • DEBUG 1 <~ Enable debug output
  • STATE <~ display current sensor status

*Note for Gain Factor: The gain STATE is representative of these values: 0 = 3x 1 = 3.5x 2 = 4.33x 3 = 6x 4 = 11x

Calibrating the internal vRef

The adc calculation in this sensor assumes an "ideal" constant value which is used to convert the internal 1.1v reference.

Each Atmega chip is slightly different, so it won't be completely accurate without tuning. Most of the time this won't be necessary, so don't mess with this if you don't know what you're doing!

The reading can be fine-tuned by using a multimeter, and this equation:

scale_constant = internal1.1Ref * 1023 * 1000

where

internal1.1Ref = 1.1 * Vcc1 (per voltmeter) / Vcc2 (per readVcc() function)

If the scale_constant calculated is different from the default 1125300, update the voltMeterConstant variable in pP_config.h with the correct value.

Configuration in firmware

All default configurations are stored in pP_config.h.
