Detailed Description

An analog input, used for reading the voltage on a pin.

Note
Synchronization level: Thread safe

Example:

// Print messages when the AnalogIn is greater than 50%
#include "mbed.h"
AnalogIn temperature(p20);
int main() {
while(1) {
if(temperature > 0.5) {
printf("Too hot! (%f)", temperature.read());
}
}
}

Member Function Documentation

operator float ( )

An operator shorthand for read()

The float() operator can be used as a shorthand for read() to simplify common code sequences

Example:

float x = volume.read();
float x = volume;
if(volume.read() > 0.25) { ... }
if(volume > 0.25) { ... }

Definition at line 102 of file AnalogIn.h.

float read ( )

Read the input voltage, represented as a float in the range [0.0, 1.0].

Returns
A floating-point value representing the current input voltage, measured as a percentage
unsigned short read_u16 ( )

Read the input voltage, represented as an unsigned short in the range [0x0, 0xFFFF].

Returns
16-bit unsigned short representing the current input voltage, normalized to a 16-bit value
