get_val()

Description

Gets value of requested sensor.

Syntax

get_val(sensor_ID);

Parameters

Variable	Input

Variable	Input
`sensor_ID`	is any sensor from list of sensors: Link to Sensor list.

Returns

Returns sensor value.

Function call example

Setting value example

new PDP;

main(){

  PDP = get_val(Sensor_SignalPDPActive);             //You can set value of a variable same as sensor value

  while(1){

      if(get_val(Sensor_SignalIN4) == 0){           //You can also use sensor reading directly
          doSomething();    
      }
     
    Delay(100);                                     
  }
}

Notes and Warnings

In case of 64 bit sensor, to read all information it is necessary to read least significant byte and most significant byte and store them at separate variables:

Function call example

Get 64 bit value example

main(){

  Ibutton_low = get_val(Sensor_Ibutton_ID, Bit64_low);
  Ibutton_high = get_val(Sensor_Ibutton_ID, Bit64_high);
  while(1){
      Delay(100);    
  }                           
}

In case of float sensor, to read correctly information it is necessary to convert value to float after reading sensor.

Function call example

Get 64 bit value example

new Float: temp;

main(){

	temp = Float: get_val(Sensor_Temperature);
	
	while(1){
    	Delay(100);    
  	}                           
}
