AdcController Class

Namespace: GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Devices.Adc · Assembly: GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Devices.Adc

Represents an ADC peripheral. Open a channel via OpenChannel(int) to take samples; use MinValue/MaxValue to know the raw-code range for the configured resolution.

public class AdcController : IDisposable

Properties

Provider

public IAdcControllerProvider Provider { get; }

The low-level provider backing this controller.

ChannelCount

public int ChannelCount { get; }

Number of channels exposed by this controller.

ResolutionInBits

public int ResolutionInBits { get; }

Sample width in bits. Determines the spread between MinValue and MaxValue.

MinValue

public int MinValue { get; }

Smallest raw value AdcChannel.ReadValue can return.

MaxValue

public int MaxValue { get; }

Largest raw value AdcChannel.ReadValue can return.

ChannelMode

public AdcChannelMode ChannelMode { get; set; }

Controller-wide channel mode (single-ended or differential). Not every mode is supported on every controller — check with IsChannelModeSupported(AdcChannelMode).

Methods

GetDefault()

public static AdcController GetDefault()

Returns the default ADC controller for this device.

Returns AdcController

FromName(string name)

public static AdcController FromName(string name)

Returns an ADC controller identified by its native API name.

Parameter	Type	Description
name	string	Native API name.

Returns AdcController

FromProvider(IAdcControllerProvider provider)

public static AdcController FromProvider(IAdcControllerProvider provider)

Creates a controller from a custom IAdcControllerProvider.

Parameter	Type	Description
provider	IAdcControllerProvider	Provider implementing the channel operations.

Returns AdcController

IsChannelModeSupported(AdcChannelMode mode)

public bool IsChannelModeSupported(AdcChannelMode mode)

Tests whether the controller supports a given channel mode.

Parameter	Type	Description
mode	AdcChannelMode	The mode to test.

Returns bool

Dispose()

public void Dispose()

Releases the underlying provider.

OpenChannel(int channelNumber)

public AdcChannel OpenChannel(int channelNumber)

Opens a channel for sampling.

Parameter	Type	Description
channelNumber	int	Controller-relative channel index.

Returns AdcChannel — An AdcChannel; dispose it to release the channel.
