generic pause/wait?

Hi @Gordon The reason why I chose Sensor.prototype = { was, at the time, I didn't care for the repetitiveness of writing Sensor.prototype. However, thats nothing that copy and paste can't fix :). As you recommended, I switched to Sensor.prototype.getSensorType = function. I can appreciate the readability and the code seems to flow a little better and makes sense to me.

@Gordon Its been 4 months since I did anything with my project. My computer crashed and I lost all of my code referring to this post. I copied and pasted my code from this post and tried to implement your suggestions again.

I am trying to pass in the value of this.address and execute the functions instead of returning the function it self.

However, as you explained, I am returning the function itself rather than executing it and getting the result. For example, in

Sensor.prototype.updateResTemp

console.log(a + " " + c);

returns:

function () {
return this.address; //Get Sensor address
} T,19.5

Code from this thread and memory:

I2C1.setup({scl:b6, sda:b7});

function Sensor (theType, theAddress) {
  this.type = theType;   //i.e. PH
  this.address = theAddress;  //i2c Address
  this.sensorResult = 0; //Store sensor result
  this.cmdTable = {
    "Calibrate" : {  //List of Calibration commands and timeout value.
      "clear" : { "cmd" : "Cal,Clear",      "wait" : 300  },
      "mid"   : { "cmd" : "Cal,mid,7.00",   "wait" : 1300 },
      "low"   : { "cmd" : "Cal,low,4.00",   "wait" : 1300 },
      "high"  : { "cmd" : "Cal,high,10.00", "wait" : 1300 },
      "query" : { "cmd" : "Cal,?",          "wait" : 300  }
    },
    "Information" : {  //Device Information
    },
    "LED" : {  //Enable / Disable or Query the LEDs
      "L0" : { "cmd" : "L,0", "wait" : 300 },
      "L1" : { "cmd" : "L,1", "wait" : 300 },
      "L?" : { "cmd" : "L,?", "wait" : 300 }
    },
    "Reading" : {  //Takes a single reading
      "R" : { "cmd" : "R", "wait" : 1000 } //Takes a single temperature compensated reading
    },
    "Serial"      : {  //Switch back to UART mode
    },
    "Sleep"       : {  //Enter low power sleep mode
    },
    "Status"      : {  //Retrieve status information
    },
    "Temperature" : {  //Set or Query the temperature compensation
      "T"  : { "cmd" : "T,19.5", "wait" : 300 },  //Where the temperature is any value; floating point, or int, in ASCII form
      "T?" : { "cmd" : "T,?",   "wait" : 300 }  //Query the set temerature
    },
    "Factory"     : {  //Factory reset
    },
  };
}

Sensor.prototype.getSensorType = function () {
  return this.type; //Get Sensor type
};

Sensor.prototype.getSensorAddress = function () {
  return this.address; //Get Sensor address
};

Sensor.prototype.getSensorReading = function() {
    var a = this.getSensorAddress;
    var d = I2C1.readFrom(a, 7);
    return d;
};

Sensor.prototype.getSensorResult = function () {
    var a = this.address;
    var c = this.cmdTable.Reading.R.cmd;
    var w = this.cmdTable.Reading.R.wait;
    var that = this;

    //I2C1.writeTo(a, c);

    setTimeout(function (e) { callback(that.getSensorReading()); }, w);
};

Sensor.prototype.storeSensorResult = function () {
};

Sensor.prototype.updateResTemp = function (temp) {
    var a = this.getSensorAddress;
    var c = this.cmdTable.Temperature.T.cmd;
    var w = this.cmdTable.Reading.R.wait;
    var that = this;

    console.log(a + " " + c);

    //I2C1.writeTo(99, "T,19.5");

    I2C1.writeTo(a, c);
    setTimeout(function (e) { that.getSensorReading(); }, w);
};

var ph = new Sensor("ph", 0x63);

ph.updateResTemp(90.5);
