FSS100 Sun Sensor library

Description

This library implements communication with Tensor Tech's FSS100 sun vector sensor.

Functions

Constructor

Takes the I2C address of the FSS100 Sun Vector Sensor.

Init

Begins the Wire library. It also sets the FSS100 Sun Vector Sensor Control Register

getSample

Takes pointers to theta and phi variables. The pointers are then given the current values of the theta and phi registers.

getTheta

Returns the currently stored theta value.

getPhi

Returns the currently stored phi value.

setI2CAddress

Takes an unsigned 8 bit integer, which will be set as the new I2C address of the FSS100 sun sensor.

update_conl

Takes an unsigned 8 bit integer which will be assigned to control register. The control register is described below.

Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0
SAMP MODE CMT SR SR LOCK -- --

SAMP: Sample Request Bit 1 = Requests a new sample which will overwrite the current Theta and Phi data registers. This bit will be set to 0 after the registers are updated. 0 = The data has been retrieved. The data registers will not be updated unless the MODE bit is set to continuous mode.

MODE: Operating Mode 1 = Continuous Mode, the data registers will be continually updated at the rate set in the SR bits. 0 = One-Shot Mode, the data registers will only be updated if the SAMP bit is set to 1.

CMT: Commit Setting 1 = Store the current Control register setting and I2C address in non-volatile memory. Read as 1 while the commit has not been handled. 0 = Settings remain in random access memory.

SR: Sampling Rate 0b11 = 32 Hz (Not available on the FSS100) 0b10 = 16 Hz 0b01 = 8 Hz 0b00 = 4 Hz

LOCK: Extend Register Lock 1 = Unlocks the extend registers. Extend register contain factory calibration data, please consult Tensor Tech before modifying them. 0 = Extend registers locked.

setContinuousSampling

Takes a boolean which, if true, will put the FSS100 in continuous mode. If the input is false, then the sun sensor will be put into one-shot mode, where the data registers will not be updated.

setSamplingRate

Takes an integer, which will be assigned as the sampling rate. The input value will be rounded up the closest available sampling rate of 4, 8, or 16Hz. The sampling rate will then be updated on the FSS100 sun sensor.

sample_wait

Monitors the sample bit in CONL for 5 tries and returns true if sample bit goes low or false is sample bit does not go low. If this function returns true, then the needed data register can be collected.

default_config

Sets the expected default configuration, which is 16 Hz sampling rate and one shot sampling mode.

Setup for Energia with MSP430

To use in Energia with the MSP430, modify the pin_energia.h file of your chosen board to change the DEFAULT_I2C definition to 0. The software implementation of I2C is not suitable for communication with the FSS100.
