Detailed Description

Introduction

The microcontroller p30f6014A has a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). This package is built to manage this ADC.
The e-puck has three peripherals which take advantage from it.

• 1 3D accelerometer
• 8 proximity sensors
• 3 microphones

Package organization

This package is divided by two sub packages:

• The standard approach (files located in the "a_d" folder). This approach uses the timer1 (or timer2) to coordinate the ADC register acquisition.
• The more advanced approach (files located in the "a_d/advance_ad_scan" folder) uses the ADC interrupt to update the four arrays containing all the data of all the peripherals which use the ADC (e_mic_scan for the microphones, e_acc_scan for the accelerometer, e_ambient_ir and e_ambient_and_reflected_ir for the proximity sensors). In this approach, the acquisition is made automatically and always with the same delay. The functions specific to each module (advance_ad_scan/e_acc.c, advance_ad_scan/e_prox.c, advance_ad_scan/e_micro.c) are also more elaborates than the same one in the standard package.
