Multi - dtex/johnny-five GitHub Wiki

The Multi class constructs objects that represent a single "breakout" module attached to the physical board. The "breakout" module will itself contain 2 or more components, such as a thermistor and a hygrometer, or an altimeter and a pressure sensor.

Supported multi sensor modules:

This list will continue to be updated as more component support is implemented.

Parameters

Usage

var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  var multi = new five.Multi({
    controller: "MPL115A2"
  });

  multi.on("data", function() {
    console.log("Barometer: %d", this.barometer.pressure);
    console.log("Temperature: %d", this.temperature.celsius);
  });
});
var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {
  var multi = new five.Multi({
    controller: "HTU21D"
  });

  multi.on("change", function() {
    console.log("temperature");
    console.log("  celsius           : ", this.temperature.celsius);
    console.log("  fahrenheit        : ", this.temperature.fahrenheit);
    console.log("  kelvin            : ", this.temperature.kelvin);
    console.log("--------------------------------------");

    console.log("Hygrometer");
    console.log("  relative humidity : ", this.hygrometer.relativeHumidity);
    console.log("--------------------------------------");
  });
});

API

The Multi class does not have an explicit API. Refer to the individual components for their APIs

Events

  • data The "data" event is fired as frequently as new data becomes available.

  • change The "change" event is fired whenever a corresponding "change" is fired from a component.
