## Introduction to AT Commands
AT Commands was originally a control protocol invented by Hayes, which invented MODEM, to control MODEM. Later, with the upgrade of network bandwidth, the dial-up MODEM with very low speed basically exited the general market, but the AT command was retained. At that time, the major mobile phone manufacturers jointly developed a set of AT commands for GSM to control the GSM module of the mobile phone. The AT command evolved on this basis and added the GSM 07.05 standard and the later GSM 07.07 standard to achieve a more robust standardization.
The AT command set was originally a control protocol invented by Dennis Hayes, initially used to control dial-up modems. Later, with the upgrade of network bandwidth, low-speed dial-up modems with very low speed essentially exited the general market, but the AT command set was retained. However, the AT command set lived on when major mobile phone manufacturers jointly developed a set of commands to control the GSM modules of mobile phones. The AT command set evolved on this basis and added the GSM 07.05 standard and the later GSM 07.07 standard to achieve more robust standardization.
In the subsequent GPRS control, 3G module, etc., all use AT commands to control, AT commands gradually become the actual standard in product development. Nowadays, AT commands are also widely used in embedded development. AT commands are the protocol interfaces of the main chip and communication module. The hardware interface is usually the serial port, so the main control device can complete various operations through simple commands and hardware design.

**AT commands are a way of facilitating device connections and data communication between an AT Server and an AT Client.** The basic structure is shown below:
![AT Command Set](figures/at_framework.jpg)
1. The AT command consists of three parts: prefix, body, and terminator. The prefix consists of the character AT; the body consists of commands, parameters, and possibly used data; the terminator typically is `<CR><LF>` (`"\r\n"`).
2. The implementation of the AT function requires the AT Server and the AT Client to work together.
2. The implementation of AT functionality requires the AT Server and the AT Client to work together.
3. The AT server is mainly used to receive commands sent by the AT client, determine the received commands and parameter formats, and deliver corresponding response data or actively send data.
3. An AT Server mainly receives commands sent by the AT Client, interprets the received commands and parameter formats, and delivers corresponding response data or actively sends data.
4. The AT client is mainly used to send commands, wait for the AT Server to respond, and parse the AT Server response data or the actively sent data to obtain related information.

5. A variety of data communication methods (UART, SPI, etc.) are supported between AT Server and AT Client. Currently, the most commonly used serial port UART communication method.
5. A variety of data communication methods (UART, SPI, etc.) are supported between an AT Server and an AT Client. Currently, the most commonly used communications protocol is UART.
6. The data that the AT Server sends to the AT Client is divided into two types: response data and URC data.
- Response Data: The AT Server response status and information received by the AT Client after sending the command.
- URC Data: The data that the AT Server actively sends to the AT client generally appears in some special cases, such as disconnected WIFI connection, TCP receiving data, etc. These situations often require the user to perform corresponding operations.
- URC Data: Data that the AT Server actively sends to the AT Client generally appears only in some special cases, such as when a WiFi connection is disconnected, while it's receiving TCP data, etc. These situations often require special user handling.
With the popularization of AT commands, more and more embedded products use AT commands. The AT commands are used as the protocol interfaces of the main chip and the communication module. The hardware interface is generally a serial port, so that the master device can performs a variety of operations using simple commands and hardware design.
Although the AT command has standardization to a certain degree, the AT commands supported by different chips are not completely unified, which directly increases the complexity to use. There is no uniform way to handle the sending and receiving of AT commands and the parsing of data. Moreover, when the AT device is used to connect to the network, the simple device connection and data transceiving functions can only be completed by commands, and it is difficult to adapt the upper layer network application interface, which is not conducive to the development of the product device.

It can be used as an AT Server to allow other devices or even the computer to connect to complete the response of sending data. It can also start the CLI mode in the local shell to enable the device to support AT Server and AT Client at the same time. Server and AT Client features, this mode is mostly used for device development and debugging.

### Add custom AT commands ###
At present, the format of the AT command set used by AT devices of different manufacturers does not have a completely uniform standard, so the AT Server in the AT component only supports some basic general AT commands, such as ATE, AT+RST, etc. These commands can only be used to meet the basic operation of the device. If users want to use more functions, they need to implement custom AT Server commands for different AT devices.AT component provides AT command addition method similar to finsh/msh command addition method, which is convenient for users to implement the required commands.

The AT component provides an AT command addition method similar to the FinSH/msh command addition method, which is convenient for users to implement the required commands.
The basic commands currently supported by AT Server are as follows:
- AT: AT test command;
- ATZ: The device is restored to factory settings;
- AT+RST: Reboot device ;
- AT+RST: Reboot device;
- ATE: ATE1 turns on echo, ATE0 turns off echo;
- AT&L: List all commands;
- AT+UART: Set the serial port information.
AT commands can implement different functions depending on the format of the incoming parameters. For each AT command, there are up to four functions, as described below:
- Test Function: `AT+<x>=?` , used to query the command's parameter, format and value range;
- Test Function: `AT+<x>=?`, used to query the command's parameter, format and value range;
- Query Function: `AT+<x>?`, used to return the current value of the command parameter;
- Setting Function: `AT+<x>=...` , used for user-defined parameter values;
- Setting Function: `AT+<x>=...`, used for user-defined parameter values;
- Execution Function: `AT+<x>`, used to perform related operations.
The four functions of each command do not need to be fully implemented. When you add the AT Server command, you can implement one or several of the above functions according to your needs. Unimplemented functions can be represented by `NULL` . And then through custom commands, the add function is added to the list of basic commands. The addition method is similar to the way the `finsh/msh` command is added. The function for adding commands is as follows:

## An Introduction to ADC
ADC is a hardware device that converts continuously changing analog signals to discrete digital signals such as temperature, pressure, sound, or images signals, etc. Digital signals are easier to be stored, processed, and transmitted.
This can be achieved by using an analog-to-digital converter device and it is widely used in various platforms. According to history, ADC was first used to convert wireless signals to digital signals, for example, television signals, or signals from long-short broadcast stations.
An ADC (analog-to-digital converter) is a hardware device that converts continuously changing analog signals to discrete digital signals. Usually, these analog signals include temperature, pressure, sound, video and many other types of signals. Converting them is important, as digital signals are easier to store, process, and transmit. This conversion can be achieved by using an ADC device which is commonly integrated in various platforms. Historically, ADCs were first used to convert received wireless signals to digital signals, for example, television signals, or signals from long-short broadcast stations.
### Conversion Process
As shown in the figure below, the analog-to-digital conversion generally involves steps of sampling, holding, quantifying, and encoding. In actual circuits, some processes are combined, such as sampling and holding, and quantization and encoding are implemented simultaneously in the conversion process.

Resolution is represented as binary (or decimal) numbers. Generally, it comes in 8 bits, 10 bits, 12 bits, 16 bits, etc. A larger resolution, in bits, means more accuracy in the conversion of analog to digital signals.
### Precision
Precision means maximum error values between analog signals and real ADC device numerical points’ values.The deviation is measured from the output values to the liner maximum values. However, precision and resolution are used for different purposes and different concepts.
Precision is the maximum error value between analog signals and real ADC device numerical points’ values.An ADC with a high resolution might have a low precision, meaning that factors like noise can affect the numerical ADC reading more than small changes in the input signal.
### Conversion Rate
The conversion rate is the reciprocal of time taken for an ADC device to complete conversion from analog to digital signals. For example, an ADC device with a conversion rate of 1MHz means ADC conversion time is 1 microsecond.

**Counting frequency **：As for the number of counts within the counter time unit under the timer mode, since the system clock frequency is fixed, the timer time can be calculated according to the counter count value. `Timing time = count value / count frequency`. For example, if the counting frequency is 1 MHz, the counter counts once is 1 / 1000000 second. That is, every 1 microsecond counter is incremented by one (or subtract one), at this time, the maximum timing capability of the 16-bit counter is 65535 microseconds, which is 65.535 milliseconds.
**Counting frequency**：Since the input frequency is usually fixed, the time it takes for the counter to reach its desired count number can be calculated from just the given frequency - `time = count value / count frequency`. For example, if the counting frequency is 1 MHz, the counter counts once every 1 / 1000000 seconds. That is, every 1 microsecond, the counter is incremented by one (or subtracted by one), at this time, the maximum timing capability of the 16-bit counter is 65535 microseconds, or 65.535 milliseconds.

## Introduction of I2C
The I2C (Inter Integrated Circuit) bus is a half-duplex, bidirectional two-wire synchronous serial bus developed by PHILIPS. The I2C bus has only two signal lines, one is the bidirectional data line SDA (serial data), and the other is the bidirectional clock line SCL (serial clock). The SPI bus has two lines for receiving data and transmitting data between the master and slave devices, while the I2C bus uses only one line for data transmission and reception.

Compared to the SPI bus, which has two lines for receiving data and transmitting data between the master and slave devices, the I2C bus uses only one line for data transmission and reception.
Like SPI, I2C works in a master-slave manner. Unlike SPI-master-multi-slave architecture, it allows multiple master devices to exist at the same time. Each device connected to the bus has a unique address, and the master device initiates data transfer, and generates a clock signal. The slave device is addressed by the master device, and only one master device is allowed at a time. As shown below:

When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL are in a high state. When the host wants to communicate with a slave, it will send a start condition first, then send the slave address and read and write control bits, and then transfer the data (host send or receive data). The host will send a stop condition when the data transfer ends. Each byte transmitted is 8 bits, with the high bit first and the low bit last.

Above is a simple schematic diagram of PWM. Assuming that the timer works in a up-counter mode. When the count value is less than the threshold, it outputs a level state, such as a high level. When the count value is greater than the threshold, it outputs the opposite, such as a low level. When the count value reaches the maximum value, the counter recounts from 0 and returns to the original level state. The ratio of the high-level duration (pulse width) to the cycle time is the duty cycle, ranging from 0 to 100%. The high level of the above picture is just half of the cycle time, so the duty cycle is 50%.
One of the common PWM control scenarios is to adjust the brightness of the light or screen. The brightness can be adjusted according to the duty cycle. The PWM adjusts the brightness not continuously, but constantly lights up and turns off the screen. When the light is turned on and off fast enough, the naked eye will always think that it is always bright. In the process of on and off, the longer the light is off, the lower the brightness of the screen to the naked eye. The longer the light is on, the less time is spent and the screen will be brighter.

Sensors are an important part of the Internet of Things, and sensors in an IoT system are equivalent to the eyes of humans. Without eyes, human beings can not see and interpret the world around them. The same is true for the Internet of Things.
Nowadays, with the development of Internet of Things, a large number of Sensors have been developed for developers to choose, such as Accelerometer, Magnetometer, Gyroscope, Barometer/pressure, Humidometer and so on. These sensors, manufactured by the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers, have increased market selectivity and made application development more difficult. Because different sensor manufacturers and sensors need their own unique drivers to run, so when developing applications, they need to adapt to different sensors, which naturally increases the difficulty of development. In order to reduce the difficulty of application development and increase the reusability of sensor driver, we designed a Sensor device.
Nowadays, with the development of IoT, a large number of sensors are available for developers to choose, such as Accelerometers, Magnetometers, Gyroscopes, Barometers/pressure senosrs, Hygrometers/humidity meters and so on. However, these sensors, manufactured by the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers, have increased market selectivity and made application development more difficult. Because different sensor manufacturers and sensors need their own unique drivers to run, developers need to write a device driver for each sensor, which can be difficult and time-consuming.
