Module: j5e/lm335
Description
A module for measuring temperature using a LM335 thermistor.
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance is strongly dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors. The word thermistor is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor.Read more on Wikipedia
Requires
Class: LM335
The LM335 class allows for reading of LM335 thermistors

Example
// Passing in Cofiguration Options
import LM335 from "j5e/lm335";
const thermometer = await new LM335({
pin: 14
});
thermometer.on("change", data => {
trace(thermometer.celsius);
});LM335.enable
Enable a disabled sensor.
lm335.enable();Returns: instance
Example
import Sensor from "j5e/sensor";
const sensor = await new Sensor(12);
sensor.disable();
// Wait 5 seconds and then take readings
timer.setTimeout(function() {
sensor.enable();
});LM335.disable
Disable an enabled sensor.
lm335.disable();Returns: instance
Example
import Sensor from "j5e/sensor";
const sensor = await new Sensor(12);
// Take reading for 5 seconds and then stop
timer.setTimeout(function() {
sensor.disable();
});LM335.read
Synchronous read of a sensor.
lm335.read();Returns: sensor value
Example
import Sensor from "j5e/sensor";
const sensor = await new Sensor(12);
let myValue = sensor.read();LM335.scale
scale/scaleTo Set a value scaling range
lm335.scale(low, high, low, high);Returns: instance
Parameters
