readDistanceTravelled()

float readDistanceTravelled()

Description

Read the current MiP odometer tally.

Parameters

None

Returns

The distance traveled (in centimeters) since the last reset.

Notes

• MiP's odometer is similar to that in a car. It maintains the total tally of the distance traveled, even across power cycles.
• The resetDistanceTravelled() function can be used to reset the odometer.

Example

  float cm = mip.readDistanceTravelled();
  Serial1.print(F("MiP has travelled "));
    Serial1.print(cm);
    Serial1.println(F(" cm since the last reset."));

resetDistanceTravelled()

void resetDistanceTravelled()

Description

Reset MiP's odometer. The current odometer distance measurement is available by calling the readDistanceTravelled() function.

Parameters

None

Returns

Nothing

Notes

• MiP's odometer doesn't automatically reset during a power cycle.
• You should call this function if you want to manually reset it.

Example

  float cm = mip.readDistanceTravelled();
  Serial1.print(F("MiP has traveled "));
    Serial1.print(cm);
    Serial1.println(F(" cm since the last reset."));

  mip.resetDistanceTravelled();
