H48C Library

The H48C Library for H48C 3-axis sensor by parallax

How To Install

Download here: H48C version 1.0

Put the H48C folder in your Arduino "libraries".

In the Arduino IDE, create a new sketch (or open one) and

select from the menubar "Sketch->Import Library->H48C".

Once the library is imported, a "#include H48C.h" line will appear at the top of your Sketch.

Setup

The schematic of the H48C has 6 pins. 5 are used with the Arduino. The White dot on the module is located next to pin 1. Here is the Pin descriptions:

  • pin 1 = CLK
  • pin 2 = DIO
  • pin 3 = Ground
  • pin 4 = Not Used
  • pin 5 = CS
  • pin 6 = V++

H48C::H48C(int CSpin, int CLKpin, int DIOpin)

This is the setup construct. The pin data is required.

Methods

int::getX()

This returns the current Gravitational value for the X axis. Normal values range from - 300 to 0 to + 300. Normal G value will be 100.

int::getY()

This returns the current Gravitational value for the Y axis. Normal values range from - 300 to 0 to + 300. Normal G value will be 100.

int::getZ()

This returns the current Gravitational value for the Z axis. Normal values range from - 300 to 0 to + 300. Normal G value will be 100.

Example : Display Gravitation Force
