Interrupt Example

Description

The Example2_Interrupts.ino example file can be accessed from the File > Examples > SparkFun STHS34PF80 Arduino Library > Example2_Interrupts drop-down menu. This example builds upon the previous code in Example1_BasicReadings.ino. Instead of constantly streaming the human presence detection values from the STHS34PF80 sensor, the microcontroller waits until an interrupt is triggered before data is retrieved through the I²C interface.

Code Verification

This code was last verified to be functional under the following parameters:

  IDE: Arduino 2.2.1
  Hardware Platform: SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic    
  SparkFun Human Presence and Motion Sensor - STHS34PF80 (Qwiic) Version: 1.0
  SparkFun Qwiic Mini Human Presence and Motion Sensor - STHS34PF80 Version: 1.0

/******************************************************************************
  Example2_Interrupts.ino

  Read human presence detection value from the STHS34PF80 sensor, print them
  to terminal using the interrupt flag instead of the typical data ready flag. 
  Prints raw IR presence values (cm^-1).

  Hardware Connections:
  Use a Qwiic cable to connect from the RedBoard Qwiic to the STHS34PF80 breakout (QWIIC).
  You can also choose to wire up the connections using the header pins like so:

  ARDUINO --> STHS34PF80
  SDA (A4) --> SDA
  SCL (A5) --> SCL
  INT (2) --> INT
  3.3V --> 3.3V
  GND --> GND

Hardware Connections

For this example, users simply need to connect their Qwiic Human Presence/Motion Sensor board to their microcontroller, utilizing the I²C interface and interrupt pin. Users can easily connect the I²C interface with the Qwiic connection system on their boards. To connect the interrupt pin, we recommend utilizing an IC-hook for a temporary connection.

The Qwiic Human Presence/Motion Sensor boards are connected to a RedBoard Plus, with a Qwiic cable and an IC-hook.

Pin Connections

For users with a development board without a Qwiic connector, the table below illustrates the required pin connections. Make sure that the logic-level of the sensor is compatible with the development board that is being connected.

Sensor Pin	Microcontroller Pin	RedBoard/Uno
`INT`	Interrupt Pin	`D2`
`SCL`	I²C - Serial Clock	`SCL`/`A5`
`SDA`	I²C - Serial Data	`SDA`/`A4`
`3V3`	Power: 1.7 to 3.6V	`3.3V`
`GND`	Ground	`GND`

Serial Monitor

This example waits until an interrupt is triggered by one of the detection modes before the raw IR presence value (cm^-1) is retrieved from the STHS34PF80 sensor. The data is then displayed in the Serial Monitor.

Tip

For this example wave different objects in front of the sensor, with varying ranges in and out of the sensor's field of view. Objects that emit black body radiation work the best and should trigger the interrupt.
