Emon and SerLCD

Projects Programming
8

In the original sketch there is a piece of code:
emon1.calcVI(20,2000);

It looks to me this is a reference to the code below:

void calcVI(int wavelengths, int timeout);

That is the declaration of the method that gets called, yes.

I guess this part means I should be able to call it in a sketch right?
double realPower,
apparentPower,
powerFactor,
Vrms,
Irms;

using:
emon1.realPower
emon1.apparentPower
emon1.powerFactor
emon1.Vrms
emon1.Irms

Is this correct or not?

Sorry, no. See that keyword private:? It means that only methods of the class can access that data.

You can add, in the public section, some methods:

double getRealPower();
double getApparentPower();

etc.

Then, in the source code, you implement those methods:

double EnergyMonitor::getRealPower()
{
   return realPower;
}

etc.

Or, you can combine the declaration and implementation, in the header file:

double getApparentPower() { return apparentPower; }

etc.
