Function Documentation

int AlsSetSystemMode ( uint8_t  mode ) [inherited]

Set ALS system mode and start/stop measure.

Warning:
When used outside after single shot polling,
User must ensure the device state is ready before issuing a new command (using VL6180x_AlsWaitDeviceReady()).
Non respect of this, can cause loss of interrupt or device hanging.
Parameters:
modeA combination of working mode (MODE_SINGLESHOT or MODE_CONTINUOUS) and start condition (MODE_START_STOP)
Returns:
0 on success
