4.4 Example .NET API

This section provides some detail on the .NET API used to construct the PC GUI application.

Download the .NET Interface and demo application from www.singletact.com.

For convenience the low level PC interface is encapsulated in two .NET components.

1. ArduinoSingleTactDriver – The basic Arduino interface. The user must create one of these.

2. SingleTact – There can be multiple SingleTacts each with their own I

C address.

Creating a SingleTact interface is as simple as:

arduinoSingleTactDriver.Initialise(COMport); //Start Arduino driver

singleTact_.I2cAddressForCommunications = 0x04; //Set I2C address

singleTact_.Initialise(arduinoSingleTactDriver); //Start sensor

The sensor is read using the following:

SingleTactFrame newFrame = singleTact_.ReadSensorData(); //Get sensor data

if (null != newFrame) //If we have data

{//Process result}

Settings can be pulled from the sensor using:

singleTact_.PullSettingsFromHardware();

and sent to the sensor using:

singleTact_.PushSettingsToHardware();

NOTE: The sensor settings can be modified using commands such as:

singleTact_.Settings.ReferenceGain = ###
