Eclipse UPM Sensor/Actuator Repository for Eclipse MRAA
Eclipse UPM Sensor and Actuator Repository
==============
The Eclipse 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 sensors
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.

### Supported Sensors
Supported [sensor list](http://iotdk.intel.com/docs/master/upm/modules.html) from API documentation.
You can also refer to the [Intel® IoT Developer Zone](https://software.intel.com/iot/hardware/sensors).
### IDE Support and More
### IDE Support
The UPM sensor libraries are directly supported by the IDEs listed on the Intel®
Developer Zone Tools & IDEs page.
<a href="https://software.intel.com/iot/tools"><img src="docs/icons/iss.png"/></a>
Intel® System Studio integration offers IoT specific features such as a sensor explorer,
library sync tools and the ability to easily import existing projects and samples that
use the UPM libraries. For further details please refer to the IoT User Guides on IDZ.
The UPM project includes support for multiple industrial-grade sensors, actuators, radios,
protocols and standards in use today. It is also highly integrated with the Eclipse IDE
through the help of the Foundation's partners.

### Making your own UPM module
A quick way to add a new sensor driver is to port existing code from another
platform (e.g. Arduino) and swap the IO calls to the MRAA API. This of course
assumes either ownership of the original code or a MIT compatible license that
allows unrestricted redistribution.
The [porting](docs/porting.md) section has more information on this process,
and there is an example available based on the max31855 [sensor](docs/max31855.md).
We have an [on demand webinar](https://software.seek.intel.com/IoT_WebinarSeries_Reg)
available that covers using an IDE to develop for the UPM project along with other
considerations for new contributions.
Read more on creating Java [bindings](docs/creating_java_bindings.md) for your
new driver.

### Guidelines and rules for new UPM contributions
Before you begin development, take a look at our naming [conventions](docs/naming.md).
The name you pick for a newly added sensor needs to be unique in the UPM library.
Then, please go over this short set of rules for new [contributions](docs/contributions.md).
Next, review the project's [contribution guide](docs/contributions.md).
Make sure you add yourself as an author on every new code file submitted.
If you are providing a fix with significant changes, feel free to add yourself
as a contributor. Signing-off your commits is mandatory and acts as an
acknowledgment of the committer agreement.
as a contributor. Signing-off your commits and accepting the ECA is mandatory
for making new contributions to this project.
Documenting your code is also a big part of the task. We have a strict set of
tags used to classify our sensors and their capabilities. You can find out more
about this in our [section](docs/documentation.md) on documenting a sensor API.
Finally, if you really want to ensure consistency with the rest of the library,
and the intel-iot-devkit repositories in general, take a look at our extensive
[author guide](docs/guidelines.md).
