Weight

Arduino library to convert weight units.

Description

Weight.h is a library containing weight conversion functions.

Open for additions, including obscure weight metrics or weight related math functions and constants.

Overview of conversions:

          stone - lbs - ounce
            |      |      |
           kilo   kilo - gram


           kilo - (stone, lbs, ounce)

Operation

weightConverter class

Since version 0.2.0 a weight convertor class is added to convert to and from other (less known) weight scales. The idea is to set a value in one scale and retrieve it in the other. As the converter holds the last value set, multiple conversions of the same weight are easy.

New conversions are possible by providing a setXYZ and getXYZ() function. These two should convert to and from grams respectively. Additions are welcome, please open an issue.

Internal representation is the gram as it the ISO standard.

Since version 0.3.0 the converter can also add different units.

Future

Must

• improve documentation
  • where are units used

Should

Could

• create data types of stone lbs kilo etc.?
• should float be double?

Won't (unless)

• large masses - sun planets ? (see relativity library)
• gravity constants of planets REL or ABS eg REL_GRAVITY_EARTH 1.0
• molarity functions
• mass of common substances.
