Sensors, a definition

Post by hlreed »

(See inside functions if this is strange)<p>Sensor
1.read some analog ; note 1
2.convert to number
3.send to O
4.write O
5.goto Sensor ; note 2
end ; Sensor
Note 1: This can be some voltage from an analog sensor. It can also be a constant.
Note 2: This provides a stream of data forever.<p>The job of a sensor is the read nature, convert it to something readable, strip off units of measurement, and convert to an abstract number.
This is also the first task of mathematics.<p>[ April 08, 2003: Message edited by: Harold ]</p>
