Detailed Description

BeoChip event listener.

The BeoChipListener gets called each time an event is received from the BeoChip. The BeoChipEventType is passed to the listener, allowing the user to determine the type of event received and to then interpret the event data also passed to the listener. By default, there is no listener, and users can just asynchronously query the BeoChip for its current internal state. If those queries come in too slowly, however, they may miss some events (e.g., a briefly pressed key). So, production code should define a derived class for BeoChipListener and register it with the BeoChip object, so that it will take action as soon as an event is received.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void BeoChipListener::event ( const BeoChipEventType  t,
const int  valint,
const float  valfloat 
) [pure virtual]

An event was received.

This function will be called by the BeoChip once you have registered your BeoChipListener derivative with the BeoChip using BeoChip::setListener(). Beware that the call to event() will ve from a thread running in the BeoChip and thus will operate in parallel with your main thread and main loop. See test-BeoChip.C for an example of how to synchronize a main loop with these asynchronous event calls. The following data will be passed along with the event type:

    Type            valint                        valfloat
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    NONE         0                             0.0F
    PWM0         pulse 0 width, 1.6us units    calibrated width in [-1..1]
    PWM1         pulse 1 width, 1.6us units    calibrated width in [-1..1]
    KBD          5 LSB show the 5 keys         0.0F
    ADC0         A/D 0 value                   calibrated value in [-1..1]
    ADC1         A/D 0 value                   calibrated value in [-1..1]
    all others   0                             0.0F
