##Zetta bmp183 sensor driver for Linux

This driver should work on any Linux platform, and has been thoroughly tested on BeagleBone Black

###Install

$> npm install @agilatech/zetta-bmp183-linux-driver

OR

$> git clone https://github.com/Agilatech/zetta-bmp183-linux-driver zetta-bmp183-linux-driver

###Usage

var zetta = require('zetta');
var bmp183 = require('@agilatech/zetta-bmp183-linux-driver');

zetta()
.use(bmp183, [options])  // where [options] define operational paramters -- omit to accept defaults
.listen(<port number>)   // where <port number> is the port on which the zetta server should listen

####[options] These options are defined in a file named 'options.json' which may be overridden by program definitions

"file":"<serial file device>"
/dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyO2, etc...  Defaults to /dev/ttyS0

"chronPeriod":<period>
Period in milliseconds for monitored isochronal data

"streamPeriod":<period>
Period in milliseconds for streaming data. A value of 0 disables streaming.

####<port number> Agilatech has definied the open port number 1107 as its standard default for IIOT (Industrial Internet Of Things) server application. In practice, most any port above 1024 may be used by other organizations.

###Example Using directly in the zetta server:

const zetta = require('zetta');
const sensor = require('@agilatech/zetta-bmp183-linux-driver');
zetta().use(sensor).listen(1337);

Initializes the bmp183 driver on serial device /dev/ttyS0 with a data monitoring period of 60 seconds and streaming data every second

To override the options defined in the options.json file, supply them in an object in the use statement like this:

zetta().use(sensor, { "file":"/dev/ttyS2", "chronPeriod":30000, "streamPeriod":15000 });

Overrides the defaults to initialize the serial device on /dev/ttyS2 with a data monitoring period of 30 seconds and streaming data every 1.5 seconds

###Properties All drivers contain the following 5 core properties:

1. state : the current state of the device, containing either the value chron-on or chron-off to indicate whether the device is monitoring data isochronally (a predefinied uniform time period of device data query).
2. active : a boolean value indicating whether of not the underlying hardware is operational and active.
3. id : the unique id for this device. This device id is used to subscribe to this device streams.
4. name : the given name for this device.
5. type : the given type for this device, usually containing the category of either Sensor or Actuator.

####Monitored Properties In the chron-on state and active operation, the driver software for this device monitors pressure and temperature values in isochronal fashion with a period defined by chronPeriod:

1. pressure - Barometric pressure in hPa
2. temperature - Tempereature in °C range from -50°C to +55°C

####Streaming Properties If the hardware is active, the driver software continuously streams pressure and temperature values with a frequency defined by streamPeriod. Note that a streamPeriod of 0 disables streaming.

1. pressureStream
2. temperatureStream

###State chron-off is the beginning state. The driver also enters this state after a transition 'stop-isochronal' command.
In this state, all monitored data values are set to 0, and no sensor readings are updated.

chron-on is the state after a transition 'start-isochronal' command. In this state, all monitored data values are updated every time period as specified by 'chronPeriod'.

###Transitions

1. start-isochronal : Sets the device state to chron-on and begins the periodic collection of sensor data. Property values are monitored, with a period defined by the 'chronPeriod' option (defaults to 60 sec).
2. stop-isochronal : Sets the device state to chron-off and stops data collection for the monitored values.

###Design This driver is specific to the BMP183 pressure and temperature sensor manufactured by Bosch. It will output both pressure in hPa (hectopascal, equal to millibar), and temperature in °C. The measured pressure range is from 300hPa to 1100hPa, while the measured temperature range is from -50°C to +55°C.

Atmospheric pressure is directly related to elevation (altitude), so this software compensates for elevation and reports the result as if the sensor were at sea level. This removes the effect of elevation on the reported pressure. For this reason it is very important to specify the station elevation in the addon constructor.

It is expected that this sensor will be used on the surface of the earth, subjected to the normal variations of pressure caused by weather and air movements. As such, any pressure results outside the extreme record variations encounted on the planet will be discarded as anomalies (1090 mbar < p < 850 mbar). An anomalous reading is returned as "none". Note that failure to supply a valid elevation may result in an anomalous reading, thereby returning "none" even when the sensor and driver are working properly.

####Operational Mode There are 4 different modes of operation, offering tradeoffs between power usage and accuracy. The driver defaults to the highest resolution, but this can be altered by specifying a different integer value as the 3rd constructor argument. See the Bosch datasheet for full explanation.

• 0 - Ultra Low Power Mode
• 1 - Standard Mode
• 2 - High Resolution Mode
• 3 - Ultra High Resolution Mode

Hardware

• Beaglebone Black
• Beaglebone Green
• Should also work on Raspberry Pi as well as other Linux SBC
