Add sensor to Azure Starter Pack

Post by Rezivor »

Currently I am working on a decide that sends data from a sensor to the amazon azure cloud. Currently I have gotten the code setup to send data from a temp/humidity sensor and a gas sensor-- both of these decides called for serial data the same so I was able to easily adapt the code from the libraries to use.

The Temperature/Sensor sensor calls to the following library

Code: Select all

/* DHT library

MIT license
written by Adafruit Industries
*/
#ifndef DHT_H
#define DHT_H

#if ARDUINO >= 100
 #include "Arduino.h"
#else
 #include "WProgram.h"
#endif


// Uncomment to enable printing out nice debug messages.
//#define DHT_DEBUG

// Define where debug output will be printed.
#define DEBUG_PRINTER Serial

// Setup debug printing macros.
#ifdef DHT_DEBUG
  #define DEBUG_PRINT(...) { DEBUG_PRINTER.print(__VA_ARGS__); }
  #define DEBUG_PRINTLN(...) { DEBUG_PRINTER.println(__VA_ARGS__); }
#else
  #define DEBUG_PRINT(...) {}
  #define DEBUG_PRINTLN(...) {}
#endif

// Define types of sensors.
#define DHT11 11
#define DHT22 22
#define DHT21 21
#define AM2301 21


class DHT {
  public:
   DHT(uint8_t pin, uint8_t type, uint8_t count=6);
   void begin(void);
   float readTemperature(bool S=false, bool force=false);
   float convertCtoF(float);
   float convertFtoC(float);
   float computeHeatIndex(float temperature, float percentHumidity, bool isFahrenheit=true);
   float readHumidity(bool force=false);
   boolean read(bool force=false);

 private:
  uint8_t data[5];
  uint8_t _pin, _type;
  #ifdef __AVR
    // Use direct GPIO access on an 8-bit AVR so keep track of the port and bitmask
    // for the digital pin connected to the DHT.  Other platforms will use digitalRead.
    uint8_t _bit, _port;
  #endif
  uint32_t _lastreadtime, _maxcycles;
  bool _lastresult;

  uint32_t expectPulse(bool level);

};

class InterruptLock {
  public:
   InterruptLock() {
    noInterrupts();
   }
   ~InterruptLock() {
    interrupts();
   }

};

#endif
And the message section of the code that sends the data to the web interface is as follows

Code: Select all

#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>
#include <DHT.h>
#include <MQ2.h>
#include <hpma115S0.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>


#if SIMULATED_DATA

hpma115S0.Init();
hpma115S0.StartParticleMeasurement();

void initSensor()
{
    // use SIMULATED_DATA, no sensor need to be inited
}

float readTemperature()
{
    return random(20, 30);
}

float readHumidity()
{
    return random(30, 40);
}

#else

static DHT dht(DHT_PIN, DHT_TYPE);
static MQ2 mq2(MQ_PIN);
SoftwareSerial hpmaSerial(TX, RX);
void initSensor()
{
    dht.begin();
    hpmaSerial.begin();

}
int GetPM2_5()
{
  return hpma115S0.GetPM2_5();
}
float readLPG()
{
    return mq2.readLPG();
}

float readSmoke()
{
    return mq2.readSmoke();
}

float readCO()
{
    return mq2.readCO();
}
float readTemperature()
{
    return dht.readTemperature();
}
float readHumidity()
{
    return dht.readHumidity();
}

#endif

bool readMessage(int messageId, char *payload)
{
    float smoke = readSmoke();
    init _pm2_5 = GetPM2_5();
    float lpg = readLPG();
    float co  = readCO();
    float humidity = readHumidity();
    float temperature = readTemperature();
    StaticJsonBuffer<MESSAGE_MAX_LEN> jsonBuffer;
    JsonObject &root = jsonBuffer.createObject();
    root["deviceId"] = DEVICE_ID;
    root["messageId"] = messageId;    
    bool temperatureAlert = false;

    // NAN is not the valid json, change it to NULL
     if (std::isnan(_pm2_5))
    {
        root["_pm2_5"] = NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        root["_pm2_5"] = _pm2_5;

    }
    if (std::isnan(smoke))
    {
        root["smoke"] = NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        root["smoke"] = smoke;

    }
    if (std::isnan(lpg))
    {
        root["lpg"] = NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        root["lpg"] = lpg;

    }

    if (std::isnan(co))
    {
        root["co"] = NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        root["co"] = co;

    }

    if (std::isnan(temperature))
    {
        root["temperature"] = NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        root["temperature"] = temperature;
    }
    if (std::isnan(humidity))
    {
        root["humidity"] = NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        root["humidity"] = humidity;
    }
    /* My modification */    root["tempAlert"] = temperatureAlert;
    root.printTo(payload, MESSAGE_MAX_LEN);
    return temperatureAlert;
}

void parseTwinMessage(char *message)
{
    StaticJsonBuffer<MESSAGE_MAX_LEN> jsonBuffer;
    JsonObject &root = jsonBuffer.parseObject(message);
    if (!root.success())
    {
        Serial.printf("Parse %s failed.\r\n", message);
        return;
    }

    if (root["desired"]["interval"].success())
    {
        interval = root["desired"]["interval"];
    }
    else if (root.containsKey("interval"))
    {
        interval = root["interval"];
    }
}
As you can see,

the call

Code: Select all

float readTemperature()
{
    return dht.readTemperature();
}
pulls the senor data

the code

Code: Select all

float humidity = readHumidity();
defines the value pulled

and the code

Code: Select all

if (std::isnan(temperature))
    {
        root["temperature"] = NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        root["temperature"] = temperature;
    }
tells the program to send that data to the server via another rest part of the code

This is the basic functionality and it works great.

I've attached a different sensor and i'm having trouble figuring how to extract that code from it in a similar fashion because it doesn't come with any truadional library where i can easily translate it like I was able to with the DHT library

It is for the Honeywell HPMA115S0-XXX Particle Sensor

The code for simply reading the data from the unit and displaying it to a serial port is as follows

Can anyone please help me with a way to call off the data in a way similar to the DHT sensor so that I can simply pull the value and send it to the IOT cloud like I have the other sensors?
