SPiCboard library API documentation

Overview

This is the API documentation for the SPiCboard library. The library offers the following modules to access the different hardware parts on the board:

• 7seg (Seven Segment Display) : functions to control the two 7-segment displays
• ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) : functions to query the state of the potentiometer and the photosensor (connected to A/D converters internally)
• Button : functions to access the two buttons (both event-driven and polling-based)
• LED access : functions to control the state of the eight LEDs
• Serial Communication : functions to connect with another SPiCboard using serial communication
• Timer module : functions to register alarm events with the hardware timers
• OLED Display : functions to use an optional 128×64 OLED display
• Serial Console : functions to connect to a serial console for in- and output
