To install the Sensor_Lib, follow these steps:
- Download the library from the Releases section.
- Extract the downloaded files.
- Move the extracted folder to your Arduino libraries directory, typically located at
Documents/Arduino/libraries/
. - Restart the Arduino IDE.
Once installed, you can start using the library in your projects.
Using the Sensor_Lib is simple. Hereโs a quick guide on how to include the library and use its functions.
-
Include the library in your Arduino sketch:
#include <Sensor_Lib.h>
-
Initialize the sensor in the
setup()
function:void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); Sensor_Lib sensor; sensor.begin(); }
-
Use the library functions to read sensor data:
void loop() { float value = sensor.readValue(); Serial.println(value); delay(1000); }
This example shows how to read a value from a sensor every second. The library handles the details, allowing you to focus on your project.
The Sensor_Lib supports a variety of sensors and components. Here are some of the most commonly used:
- Temperature Sensors: DHT11, DHT22, LM35
- Humidity Sensors: DHT11, DHT22
- Light Sensors: LDR, BH1750
- Distance Sensors: HC-SR04, VL53L0X
- Pressure Sensors: BMP180, BMP280
- Motion Sensors: PIR, MPU6050
This list is not exhaustive. Check the documentation for more details on supported sensors.
The library comes with several examples to help you get started. You can find these examples in the examples
folder within the library directory. Here are a few highlighted examples:
This example shows how to read temperature and humidity data using a DHT sensor.
#include <Sensor_Lib.h>
Sensor_Lib dht;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
dht.begin();
}
void loop() {
float temperature = dht.readTemperature();
float humidity = dht.readHumidity();
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(temperature);
Serial.print(" ยฐC, Humidity: ");
Serial.print(humidity);
Serial.println(" %");
delay(2000);
}
Use this example to measure light levels with an LDR.
#include <Sensor_Lib.h>
Sensor_Lib ldr;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
ldr.begin();
}
void loop() {
int lightLevel = ldr.readLightLevel();
Serial.print("Light Level: ");
Serial.println(lightLevel);
delay(1000);
}
These examples demonstrate the ease of use and flexibility of the Sensor_Lib.
