.. module: analogSensor

*********************
Analog Sensor Library
*********************

This module contains class definitions for analog sensors. AnalogSensor class is a subclass of the generic Sensor class and provides a simple way to handle sensors sensing quantities that can assume more than two different values. Every AnalogSensor instance inherits the whole set of methods from generic Sensor class.

    
==================
AnalogSensor class
==================

.. class:: AnalogSensor(pin)

    This is the class for sensing analog quantities

Pin can be both a real device pin and a tuple containing an analog sensor object
and a string for a window parameter to read.
Example::

    lightSensor = AnalogSensor(A4)
    sensorOnAverage = AnalogSensor((lightSensor,'currentAverage'))

the above code instantiates a light sensor on a device pin and another sensor that takes as input the lightSensor average.
