Connects to Any Sensor/ Controller Via the ICI API Modules

Radiocrafts’ ICI framework allows the user to access the hardware interface and manipulate the data before sending it on to the next stage. This means that any sensor/control unit can be interfaced directly to the IPM module. One necessary task is to read the datasheets and understand how to interpret the bits coming in at the hardware buses. These bits then need to be captured in the C-code that is written for ICI and the job is done. A benefit is that the sensor interfaces can be updated in the field using Over the Air (OTA) updates, creating a future proof solution with room for new or updated sensors and control units. The example here shows the C-code to read a temp sensor called SHT35, using the I2C transfer command. As can be seen here, the operation to read the sensor and put the data into useful variables is just one line in the code.
