LibUPM

The UPM repository provides software drivers for a wide variety of commonly used sensors and actuators. These software drivers interact with the underlying hardware platform (or microcontroller), as well as with the attached sensors, through calls to [MRAA](https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa) APIs.

Programmers can access the interfaces for each sensor by including the sensor’s corresponding header file and instantiating the associated sensor class. In the typical use case, a constructor initializes the sensor based on parameters that identify the sensor, the I/O protocol used and the pin location of the sensor.

We endorse additions that implement the generic C and C++ interfaces provided with the libraries. Multiple sensor and actuator types have been defined, for instance:

• Light controller

• Light sensor

• Temperature sensor

• Humidity sensor

• Pressure sensor

• Gas sensor

• Analog to digital converter

Simple diagram below depicts the use of Lib-UPM to interface various sensor modules.
