Detailed Description

An analog output, used for setting the voltage on a pin.

Example: 

 // Make a sawtooth output
  
 #include "mbed.h"
  
 AnalogOut tri(p18);
 int main() {
     while(1) {
         tri = tri + 0.01;
         wait_us(1);
         if(tri == 1) {
             tri = 0;
         }
     }
 }

Member Function Documentation

static void add_rpc_class (  ) [static, inherited]

Add the class to the list of classes which can have static methods called via rpc (the static methods which can be called are defined by that class' get_rpc_class() static method).

Definition at line 143 of file Base.h.

virtual struct rpc_method* get_rpc_methods (  ) [read, virtual]

Returns a pointer to an array describing the rpc methods supported by this object, terminated by either RPC_METHOD_END or RPC_METHOD_SUPER(Superclass).

Example 

 class Example : public Base {
     int foo(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
     virtual const struct rpc_method *get_rpc_methods() {
         static const rpc_method rpc_methods[] = {
             { "foo", generic_caller<int, Example, int, int, &Example::foo> },
             RPC_METHOD_SUPER(Base)
         };
         return rpc_methods;
     }
 };

Reimplemented from Base.

static Base* lookup ( const char *  name,
unsigned int  len 
) [static, inherited]

Lookup and return the object that has the given name.

Parameters:
namethe name to lookup.
lenthe length of name.
const char* name (  ) [inherited]

Returns the name of the object.

Returns:
The name of the object, or NULL if it has no name.
operator float (  )

An operator shorthand for read()

AnalogOut& operator= ( float  percent )

An operator shorthand for write()

float read (  )

Return the current output voltage setting, measured as a percentage (float)

Returns:
A floating-point value representing the current voltage being output on the pin, measured as a percentage. The returned value will lie between 0.0f (representing 0v / 0%) and 1.0f (representing 3.3v / 100%).
Note:
This value may not match exactly the value set by a previous write().
void register_object ( const char *  name ) [inherited]

Registers this object with the given name, so that it can be looked up with lookup.

If this object has already been registered, then this just changes the name.

Parameters:
nameThe name to give the object. If NULL we do nothing.
static bool rpc ( const char *  name,
const char *  method,
const char *  arguments,
char *  result 
) [static, inherited]

Use the lookup function to lookup an object and, if successful, call its rpc method.

Returns:
false if name does not correspond to an object, otherwise the return value of the call to the object's rpc method.
virtual bool rpc ( const char *  method,
const char *  arguments,
char *  result 
) [virtual, inherited]

Call the given method with the given arguments, and write the result into the string pointed to by result.

The default implementation calls rpc_methods to determine the supported methods.

Parameters:
methodThe name of the method to call.
argumentsA list of arguments separated by spaces.
resultA pointer to a string to write the result into. May be NULL, in which case nothing is written.
Returns:
true if method corresponds to a valid rpc method, or false otherwise.
void write ( float  value )

Set the output voltage, specified as a percentage (float)

Parameters:
valueA floating-point value representing the output voltage, specified as a percentage. The value should lie between 0.0f (representing 0v / 0%) and 1.0f (representing 3.3v / 100%). Values outside this range will be saturated to 0.0f or 1.0f.
void write_u16 ( unsigned short  value )

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

Parameters:
value16-bit unsigned short representing the output voltage, normalised to a 16-bit value (0x0000 = 0v, 0xFFFF = 3.3v)
