NAME

   Device::Chip::MPL3115A2 - chip driver for a MPL3115A2

SYNOPSIS

      use Device::Chip::MPL3115A2;

      my $chip = Device::Chip::MPL3115A2->new;
      $chip->mount( Device::Chip::Adapter::...->new )->get;

      printf "Current pressure is %.2f kPa\n",
         $chip->read_pressure->get;

DESCRIPTION

   This Device::Chip subclass provides specific communication to a
   Freescale Semiconductor MPL3115A2 attached to a computer via an I�C
   adapter.

   The reader is presumed to be familiar with the general operation of
   this chip; the documentation here will not attempt to explain or define
   chip-specific concepts or features, only the use of this module to
   access them.

ACCESSORS

   The following methods documented with a trailing call to ->get return
   Future instances.

read_config

      $config = $chip->read_config->get

   Returns a HASH reference of the contents of control registers CTRL_REG1
   to CTRL_REG3, using fields named from the data sheet.

      SBYB => "STANDBY" | "ACTIVE"
      OST  => 0 | 1
      RST  => 0 | 1
      OS   => 1 | 2 | 4 | ... | 64 | 128
      RAW  => 0 | 1
      ALT  => 0 | 1

      ST          => 1 | 2 | 4 | ... | 16384 | 32768
      ALARM_SEL   => 0 | 1
      LOAD_OUTPUT => 0 | 1

      IPOL1  => 0 | 1
      PP_OD1 => 0 | 1
      IPOL2  => 0 | 1
      PP_OD2 => 0 | 1

change_config

      $chip->change_config( %changes )->get

   Writes updates to the control registers CTRL_REG1 to CTRL_REG3. This
   will be performed as a read-modify-write operation, so any fields not
   given as arguments to this method will retain their current values.

   Note that these two methods use a cache of configuration bytes to make
   subsequent modifications more efficient. This cache will not respect
   the "one-shot" nature of the OST and RST bits.

get_sealevel_pressure

set_sealevel_pressure

      $pressure = $chip->get_sealevel_pressure->get

      $chip->set_sealevel_pressure->get( $pressure )

   Read or write the barometric pressure calibration register which is
   used to convert pressure to altitude when the chip is in altimeter
   mode, in Pascals. The default value is 101,326 Pa.

read_pressure

      $pressure = $chip->read_pressure->get

   Returns the value of the OUT_P_* registers, suitably converted into
   Pascals. (The chip must be in barometer mode and must not be in RAW
   mode for the conversion to work).

read_altitude

      $altitude = $chip->read_altitude->get

   Returns the value of the OUT_P_* registers, suitably converted into
   metres. (The chip must be in altimeter mode and must not be in RAW mode
   for the conversion to work).

read_temperature

      $temperature = $chip->read_temperature->get

   Returns the value of the OUT_T_* registers, suitable converted into
   degrees C. (The chip must not be in RAW mode for the conversion to
   work).

read_min_pressure

read_max_pressure

      $pressure = $chip->read_min_pressure->get

      $pressure = $chip->read_max_pressure->get

   Returns the values of the P_MIN and P_MAX registers, suitably converted
   into Pascals.

clear_min_pressure

clear_max_pressure

      $chip->clear_min_pressure->get

      $chip->clear_max_pressure->get

   Clear the P_MIN or P_MAX registers, resetting them to start again from
   the next measurement.

read_min_altitude

read_max_altitude

      $altitude = $chip->read_min_altitude->get

      $altitude = $chip->read_max_altitude->get

   Returns the values of the P_MIN and P_MAX registers, suitably converted
   into metres.

clear_min_altitude

clear_max_altitude

      $chip->clear_min_altitude->get

      $chip->clear_max_altitude->get

   Clear the P_MIN or P_MAX registers, resetting them to start again from
   the next measurement.

read_min_temperature

read_max_temperature

      $temperature = $chip->read_min_temperature->get

      $temperature = $chip->read_max_temperature->get

   Returns the values of the T_MIN and T_MAX registers, suitably converted
   into metres.

clear_min_temperature

clear_max_temperature

      $chip->clear_min_temperature->get

      $chip->clear_max_temperature->get

   Clear the T_MIN or T_MAX registers, resetting them to start again from
   the next measurement.

METHODS

check_id

      $chip->check_id->get

   Reads the WHO_AM_I register and checks for a valid ID result. The
   returned future fails if the expected result is not received.

start_oneshot

      $chip->start_oneshot->get

   Sets the OST bit of CTRL_REG1 to start a one-shot measurement when in
   standby mode. After calling this method you will need to use
   busywait_oneshot to wait for the measurement to finish, or rely somehow
   on the interrupts.

busywait_oneshot

      $chip->busywait_oneshot->get

   Repeatedly reads the OST bit of CTRL_REG1 until it becomes clear.

oneshot

      $chip->oneshot->get

   A convenient wrapper around start_oneshot and busywait_oneshot.
