Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation: iio: Clarify meaning of IIO_DISTANCE channel type
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 15:48:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171010134847.2175-1-pmeerw@pmeerw.net> (raw)
IIO_DISTANCE is used for two purposes: for pedometers to record the
distance covered by a walker, and to measure the distance to an object
IIO_DISTANCE is in meters while IIO_PROXIMITY is a unitless measure
indirectly proportional to distance (higher value relates to a closer
object)
