Returns information about the imp’s type
Device + Agent
Integer — A constant indicating the current environment
This method returns information about what type of imp (card or module) the Squirrel code is executing on. It will also signal that the imp is a virtual one, ie. an agent. This is useful when writing portable code that might need to run in different places and know where it is being run.
The return value is one of the constants below:
| Constant | Value | Type | imps |
|---|---|---|---|
| ENVIRONMENT_CARD | 0 | Card | imp001 |
| ENVIRONMENT_MODULE | 1 | Module | imp002, imp003, imp004m, imp005, imp006, impC001 |
| ENVIRONMENT_AGENT | 2 | Agent | N/A |
The values assigned to the constants may change in a future impOS™ release.
You can call imp.info() to determine exactly specific imp type your code is running on and thus the availability of certain peripheral buses and GPIO pin names.
