Module riot_wrappers::saul

Available on riot_module_saul only.

Registration and use of SAUL, the Sensor Actuator Uber Layer

This modules falls largely into two parts:

• For creating and registering SAUL devices, see the registration submodule.

• RegistryEntry with its various constructors finds sensors or actuators in SAUL, and allows interacting with them.

In mapping SAUL semantics to Rust, some parts are not aligned in full:

• The Phydat type used here always has a length – as opposed to phydat_t which contains up to PHYDAT_DIM values, and transports the number of used items on the side – but not always.

  This affects sensor data writing, and is documented with the respective calls.

Modules
