ID of sensors inside Technic Plus Hub

[ThinhNguyen168]

Hello,

Thank you for this great project. I have tried your example technic_4x4.py which works well for me. Do you know the ID of the sensors inside the Technic Plus Hub (which also include an IMU)? I would like to get access to the orientation of the hub. Look forward to hearing from you.

I'm not at this point yet, so I'm guessing the constants in https://github.com/virantha/bricknil/blob/master/bricknil/const.py aren't what you are looking for? In that case, the constants at the bottom of https://github.com/nathankellenicki/node-poweredup/blob/master/src/hubs/technicmediumhub.ts may be what you need?

Thank you very much. Now I can access to the voltage, current sensors and accelerometer of the hub. However the tilt sensor (port 99 according to https://github.com/nathankellenicki/node-poweredup/blob/master/src/hubs/technicmediumhub.ts) does not work. I don't know if the port 99 is incorrect or I don't have the right sensor id. Will continue investigating. Thank you again.

For those who want to use the sensor of Technic Plus Hub, you can add the following lines of code at the end of file \bricknil\sensor\sensor.py:

class AccelerometerSensor(Peripheral): """ Access the internal accelerometer of the PowerUp+ hub

• sense_acceleration_3_axis - raw accelerometer data. (3 x 2 bytes)

  Examples::
  
      # Basic use
      @attach(AccelerometerSensor, name='accelerometer', capabilities=['sense_acceleration_3_axis'])

  """ _sensor_id = 0x0039 capability = Enum("capability",{'sense_acceleration_3_axis': 0})

  datasets = { capability.sense_acceleration_3_axis: (3, 2), }

  allowed_combo = [ ]

class GyroSensor(Peripheral): """ Access the internal gyroscope of the PowerUp+ hub

• sense_angular_velocity - 3x2 bytes of raw angular velocity data.

  Examples::
  
      # Basic use
      @attach(AccelerometerSensor, name='accelerometer', capabilities=['sense_acceleration_3_axis'])

  """ _sensor_id = 0x003A capability = Enum("capability",{'sense_angular_velocity': 0})
