2.4 DistanceSensor

distance_sensor_enable, distance_sensor_disable
distance_sensor_get_value

distance_sensor_enable

NAME

   distance_sensor_enable, distance_sensor_disable -- enable and disable the distance sensor measurements

SYNOPSIS

  #include <device/distance_sensor.h>

   void distance_sensor_enable (DeviceTag sensor, guint16 ms);
   void distance_sensor_disable (DeviceTag sensor);

DESCRIPTION

distance_sensor_enable allows the user to enable a distance sensor measurement each ms milliseconds.

distance_sensor_disable turns the distance sensor off, saving computation time.

distance_sensor_get_value

NAME

   distance_sensor_get_value -- get the distance sensor measure

SYNOPSIS

  #include <device/distance_sensor.h>

   guint16 distance_sensor_get_value (DeviceTag sensor);

DESCRIPTION

distance_sensor_get_value returns the last value measured by the specified distance sensor. This value is computed by the simulator according to the lookup table of the DistanceSensor node. Hence, the value range for the return value is defined by this lookup table.
