# Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer::Sensor(3pm)

Generic sensor class

## NAME

Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer::Sensor - Generic sensor class

## VERSION

Version 0.0301

## SYNOPSIS

None

## DESCRIPTION

This module contains a generic class that all HidTEMPer sensors should inherit from keeping the implemented methods consistent, and making it possible to  use the same code to contact every supported device.

### CONSTANTS

- •

  MAX\_TEMPERATURE

  The highest temperature(Celsius) this sensor can detect.

- •

  MIN\_TEMPERATURE

  The lowest temperature(Celsius) this sensor can detect.

### METHODS

- •

  new( `$device` )

  Generic initializing method, creating a sensor object.

  Input parameter

  `$device` = A pre-initialized Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer::Device that the sensor is connected to. This device will be used to handle communication.

- •

  **fahrenheit()**

  Reads the current temperature and returns the corresponding value in  fahrenheit degrees.

- •

  **max()**

  Returns the highest temperature(Celsius) the sensor can detect.

- •

  **min()**

  Returns the lowest temperature(Celsius) the sensor can detect.

- •

  **celsius()**

  Empty method that should be implemented in each sensor, returing the  current degrees in celsius.

## DEPENDENCIES

This module internally includes and takes use of the following packages:

```
  use Scalar::Util qw/ weaken /;
```

This module uses the strict and warning pragmas.

## BUGS

Please report any bugs or missing features using the CPAN RT tool.
