Sensor data doesn't update after set time
chintanp opened this issue · comments
I am using a TI gas-gauge which is a battery sensor, as in, it reports battery voltage, current, temp etc. The sensor works fine, as I have a working C code. Trying to port it to nodejs. An initial run with node-i2c gives me the results I am hoping for. Although, I haven't been able to update the results continuously.
I even tried modifying the accel.coffee example for my sensor, which now looks like this: https://gist.github.com/chintanp/c8e1ad362eb9d99c30c7
As you can see in the code, it has a this.wire.read ... inside a setTimeout which should get me the sensor readings every 100 ms, or atleast this is what I am trying to achieve. What happens right now, is the code prints the sensor value correctly, once, and then just sits there without exiting, or re-printing etc. I have tried putting the wire.read code in a while(true) , for(;;) to create an infinite loop type call, but to no avail. This may not be a node-i2c issue, just my bad nodejs.
Anyway, how can I get this working ?
