Dimensional Sensor

Hello!!
I'm new in the sensor world, I've already done some basic movement sensors, but what I really need is a dimensional sensor than can take measurements, is that possible to build with the info in this page?
Thanks

@andriej Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch. We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

I hope the project won't be buried due to the fact that the protocol is the basis of nippy devices (https://nippysmart.com/) I also hope that the development of mysensors won't be directed in 2 directions - one commercial only for nippy - the other for all the rest, which could result in the two versions diverging so much that they will be incompatible and the second one will simply be buried.

@ZenBlizzard in case you are measuring the output with a multimeter, you will get an averaged level, since AC current waveform should be sinusoidal and overlapped with the Vcc/2->2.56V in your case. To measure the current you need a decently high sampling and some math. #define SENSITIVITY 66 // mV/A const float readings = 5; const float alpha = 2.0 / (2 * readings + 1); for (ifor = 0; ifor < 250; ifor++) { // Voltage voltageSampleRead = analogRead(V) * vccRead / 1023 - vccRead / 2; /* read the sample value including offset value*/ voltageSampleSum = voltageSampleSum + sq(voltageSampleRead); /* accumulate total analog values for each sample readings*/ voltageSampleOffsetSum = voltageSampleOffsetSum + voltageSampleRead; // Current currentSampleRead = analogRead(I) * vccRead / 1023 - vccRead / 2; /* read the sample value including offset value*/ currentSampleSum = currentSampleSum + currentSampleRead * currentSampleRead; /* accumulate total analog values for each sample readings*/ currentSampleOffsetSum = currentSampleOffsetSum + currentSampleRead; wait(1); } voltageMean = voltageSampleSum / ifor; /* calculate average value of all sample readings taken*/ voltageOffset = voltageSampleOffsetSum / ifor; reading = (sqrt(voltageMean) - voltageOffset) * 230.0 / 1.0; // read voltage / reported voltage. voltage = round_to_dp(alpha * reading + (1 - alpha) * voltage,1); Serial.println(voltage); if (voltage < 25) voltage = 0; currentMean = currentSampleSum / ifor; /* calculate average value of all sample readings taken*/ currentOffset = currentSampleOffsetSum / ifor; reading = (sqrt(currentMean) - currentOffset) / SENSITIVITY * 1000 - currentZeroOffset; // subtract no load current. if (reading < 0) reading = 0; current = round_to_dp( alpha * reading + (1 - alpha) * current,2);

Old topic, I know. Did anything ever come of this? I'm also thinking it would be easy & cheap to get the espnow working as a transport layer. I found this: https://www.mysensors.org/apidocs-beta/classESPNOW.html But it goes above my head and abilities when it comes to code.

@CodeGarage What I want is a lion powered Sensor if possible. And that in a case I can stick to the door frame. As I cannot screw or drill into the doorframe. But I have no idea how much current that draws.
