Not sure who else would be interested in this discussion so if anyone can cc any interested parties that would be great! (
I would like to propose the following addition to the 'IIO device interface' for color light sensing devices to accommodate CCT (AKA color temperature) and access to the raw RGB channel data for user analysis. IIO channel type name: CCT The CCT ABI should be documented similar to as follows: In sys-bus-iio-light: What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/device[n]/cct[_input|_raw] KernelVersion: 3.3.0 Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Description: This should return the correlated color temperature from the RGBC color sensor expressed as SI unit (degree kelvin). If it comes back in SI units, it should also include_input else it should include _raw to signify it is not in SI units.
Works for me though the formatting of the above is somewhat different from our current docs...
IIO modifiers: IIO_MOD_LIGHT_RED IIO_MOD_LIGHT_GREEN IIO_MOD_LIGHT_BLUE
So these modifiers apply to intensity channels? Colour temp is built from multiple raw sensors I believe (like illuminance is often done?) Hence it's another 'virtual' channel we compute?
The 'clear' and IR channels are already covered by the use of IIO_LIGHT and IIO ILLUMINANCE (and respective modifiers). The RGB modifiers will help to express the relative frequencies to their respective channel, and appear to fit well with the overall convention. And last but not least, the textual modifier names "red", "green", and "blue" be accommodated within 'industrialio-core'.
Fine with me.
Channel specific interrupt event / sources are not presented at this time. Any thoughts or comments are welcomed.
