Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ sensor_attribute_veml7700

enum sensor_attribute_veml7700

VEML7700 specific sensor attributes.

For high and low threshold window settings (ALS_WH and ALS_WL) use the generic attributes SENSOR_ATTR_UPPER_THRESH and SENSOR_ATTR_LOWER_THRESH with 16-bit unsigned integer values. Both threshold settings are in lux and converted by the driver to a value compatible with the sensor. This conversion depends on the current gain and integration time settings. So a change in gain or integration time usually requires an update of threshold window settings. To get the correct threshold values into the sensor update the thresholds -after- a change of gain or integration time.

All attributes must be set for the SENSOR_CHAN_LIGHT channel.

Enumerator

SENSOR_ATTR_VEML7700_GAIN

Gain setting for ALS measurements (ALS_GAIN).

Use enum veml7700_als_gain for attribute values.

SENSOR_ATTR_VEML7700_ITIME

Integration time setting for ALS measurements (ALS_IT).

Use enum veml7700_als_it for attribute values.

SENSOR_ATTR_VEML7700_INT_MODE

Enable or disable use of ALS interrupt (ALS_INT_EN and ALS_PERS).

Please mind that the VEML7700 does not have an interrupt pin. That's why this driver does not implement any asynchronous notification mechanism. Such notifications would require to periodically query the sensor for it's interrupt state and then trigger an event based on that state. It's up to the user to query the interrupt state manually using sensor_channel_fetch_chan() on the SENSOR_CHAN_VEML7700_INTERRUPT channel or using sensor_channel_fetch().

Use enum veml7700_int_mode for attribute values.

◆ sensor_channel_veml7700

enum sensor_channel_veml7700

VEML7700 specific sensor channels.

Enumerator

SENSOR_CHAN_VEML7700_RAW_COUNTS

Channel for raw ALS sensor values.

This channel represents the raw measurement counts provided by the sensors ALS register. It is useful for estimating the high/low threshold window attributes for the sensors interrupt handling.

You cannot fetch this channel explicitly. Instead, this channel's value is fetched implicitly using SENSOR_CHAN_LIGHT. Trying to call sensor_channel_fetch_chan() with this enumerator as an argument will result in a -ENOTSUP.

SENSOR_CHAN_VEML7700_WHITE_RAW_COUNTS

Channel for white light sensor values.

This channel is the White Channel count output of the sensor. The white channel can be used to correct for light sources with strong infrared content in the 750-800nm spectrum.

SENSOR_CHAN_VEML7700_INTERRUPT

This channel is used to query the ALS interrupt state (ALS_INT).

In order for this channel to provide any meaningful data you need to enable the ALS interrupt mode using the SENSOR_ATTR_VEML7700_INT_MODE custom sensor attribute.

It's important to note that the sensor resets it's interrupt state after retrieving it.
