sensor_channel_get()

int sensor_channel_get	(	const struct device *	dev,

		struct sensor_value *	val
	)

#include <zephyr/drivers/sensor.h>

Get a reading from a sensor device.

Return a useful value for a particular channel, from the driver's internal data. Before calling this function, a sample must be obtained by calling sensor_sample_fetch or sensor_sample_fetch_chan. It is guaranteed that two subsequent calls of this function for the same channels will yield the same value, if sensor_sample_fetch or sensor_sample_fetch_chan has not been called in the meantime.

For vectorial data samples you can request all axes in just one call by passing the specific channel with _XYZ suffix. The sample will be returned at val[0], val[1] and val[2] (X, Y and Z in that order).

Parameters

dev	Pointer to the sensor device
chan	The channel to read
val	Where to store the value

Returns

0 if successful, negative errno code if failure.

inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/drivers/sensor.h>

Read data from a sensor.

Using cfg, read one snapshot of data from the device by using the provided RTIO context ctx. This call will generate a rtio_sqe that will leverage the RTIO's internal mempool when the time comes to service the read.

Parameters

[in]	iodev	The iodev created by SENSOR_DT_READ_IODEV
[in]	ctx	The RTIO context to service the read
[in]	userdata	Optional userdata that will be available when the read is complete

		size_t	num_channels
	)

#include <zephyr/drivers/sensor.h>

Reconfigure a reading iodev.

Allows a reconfiguration of the iodev associated with reading a sample from a sensor.

Important: If the iodev is currently servicing a read operation, the data will likely be invalid. Please be sure the flush or wait for all pending operations to complete before using the data after a configuration change.

It is also important that the data field of the iodev is a sensor_read_config.

Parameters

[in]	iodev	The iodev to reconfigure
[in]	sensor	The sensor to read from
[in]	channels	One or more channels to read
[in]	num_channels	The number of channels in channels

Returns

0 on success

< 0 on error

sensor_sample_fetch()

int sensor_sample_fetch

(

const struct device *

dev

)

#include <zephyr/drivers/sensor.h>

Fetch a sample from the sensor and store it in an internal driver buffer.

Read all of a sensor's active channels and, if necessary, perform any additional operations necessary to make the values useful. The user may then get individual channel values by calling sensor_channel_get.

The function blocks until the fetch operation is complete.

Since the function communicates with the sensor device, it is unsafe to call it in an ISR if the device is connected via I2C or SPI.

Parameters

dev	Pointer to the sensor device

Returns

0 if successful, negative errno code if failure.

sensor_sample_fetch_chan()

int sensor_sample_fetch_chan	(	const struct device *	dev,
		enum sensor_channel	type
	)

#include <zephyr/drivers/sensor.h>

Fetch a sample from the sensor and store it in an internal driver buffer.

Read and compute compensation for one type of sensor data (magnetometer, accelerometer, etc). The user may then get individual channel values by calling sensor_channel_get.

This is mostly implemented by multi function devices enabling reading at different sampling rates.

The function blocks until the fetch operation is complete.

Since the function communicates with the sensor device, it is unsafe to call it in an ISR if the device is connected via I2C or SPI.

Parameters

dev	Pointer to the sensor device
type	The channel that needs updated

Returns

0 if successful, negative errno code if failure.

sensor_stream()

static int sensor_stream ( struct rtio_iodev *  iodev, struct rtio *  ctx, void *  userdata, struct rtio_sqe **  handle  )

inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/drivers/sensor.h>

sensor_trigger_set()

static int sensor_trigger_set ( const struct device *  dev, const struct sensor_trigger *  trig, sensor_trigger_handler_t  handler  )

inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/drivers/sensor.h>

Activate a sensor's trigger and set the trigger handler.

The handler will be called from a thread, so I2C or SPI operations are safe. However, the thread's stack is limited and defined by the driver. It is currently up to the caller to ensure that the handler does not overflow the stack.

The user-allocated trigger will be stored by the driver as a pointer, rather than a copy, and passed back to the handler. This enables the handler to use CONTAINER_OF to retrieve a context pointer when the trigger is embedded in a larger struct and requires that the trigger is not allocated on the stack.

Function properties (list may not be complete)

supervisor

Parameters

dev	Pointer to the sensor device
trig	The trigger to activate
handler	The function that should be called when the trigger fires

Returns

0 if successful, negative errno code if failure.
