.. zephyr:code-sample:: jc42 :name: JEDEC JC 42.4 compliant Temperature Sensor :relevant-api: sensor_interface Get ambient temperature from a JEDEC JC 42.4 compliant temperature sensor (polling & trigger mode). Overview ******** This sample application periodically (0.5 Hz) measures the ambient temperature. The result is written to the console. If triggered measurements are enabled the sample initializes and maintains a |plusminus| 2 |deg| C window around the current temperature. When the temperature moves outside the window an alert is given, and the window is moved to center on the new temperature. Requirements ************ The sample requires a JEDEC JC 42.4 compliant temperature sensor. The sample is configured to use the MCP9808 sensor. The MCP9808 digital temperature sensor converts temperatures between -20 |deg| C and +100 |deg| C to a digital word with |plusminus| 0.5 |deg| C (max.) accuracy. It is I2C compatible and supports up to 16 devices on the bus. Wiring ******* The MCP9808, which is a JEDEC JC 42.4 compliant temperature sensor, is available in a discrete component form but it is much easier to use it mounted on a breakout board. We used the Adafruit `MCP9808 Sensor`_ breakout board. .. _`MCP9808 Sensor`: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1782 Building and Running ******************** After providing a devicetree overlay that specifies the sensor I2C bus and alert GPIO, build this sample app using: .. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/jc42 :board: particle_xenon :goals: build flash Sample Output ============= Note that in the capture below output from the trigger callback and the main thread are interleaved. .. code-block:: console *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v2.1.0-537-gbbdeaa1ae5bb *** Alert on temp outside [24500, 25500] milli-Celsius Trtrigger fired 1, temp 15.9375 C iggAlert on temp outside [15437, 16437] milli-Celsius er set got 0 0:00:00.017: 15.9375 C 0:00:02.020: 16 C 0:00:04.022: 16.125 C 0:00:06.024: 16.1875 C trigger fired 2, temp 16.3125 C Alert on temp outside [15812, 16812] milli-Celsius 0:00:08.027: 16.3125 C 0:00:10.029: 16.375 C 0:00:12.032: 16.5 C 0:00:14.034: 16.5625 C 0:00:16.037: 16.5625 C 0:00:18.039: 16.625 C 0:00:20.042: 16.6875 C trigger fired 3, temp 16.8125 C Alert on temp outside [16312, 17312] milli-Celsius 0:00:22.044: 16.8125 C 0:00:24.047: 16.875 C
