end

#get_chip_temperature ⇒ Object

Returns the temperature as measured inside the microcontroller. The value returned is not the ambient temperature!

The temperature is only proportional to the real temperature and it has bad accuracy. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.

end

#get_identity ⇒ Object

Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.

The position can be ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’, ‘f’, ‘g’ or ‘h’ (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an :ref:‘Isolator Bricklet <isolator_bricklet>` is always at position ’z’.

The device identifier numbers can be found :ref:‘here <device_identifier>`. |device_identifier_constant|

end

#get_spitfp_error_count ⇒ Object

Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.

The errors are divided into

  • ACK checksum errors,

  • message checksum errors,

  • framing errors and

  • overflow errors.

The errors counts are for errors that occur on the Bricklet side. All Bricks have a similar function that returns the errors on the Brick side.

end

#get_uva ⇒ Object

Returns the UVA intensity of the sensor. The sensor has not weighted the intensity with the erythemal action spectrum to get the skin-affecting irradiation. Therefore, you cannot just divide the value by 250 to get the UVA index. To get the UV index use BrickletUVLightV2#get_uvi.

If the sensor is saturated, then -1 is returned, see BrickletUVLightV2#set_configuration.

If you want to get the intensity periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_UVA callback and set the period with BrickletUVLightV2#set_uva_callback_configuration.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_UVA callback. You can set the callback configuration with BrickletUVLightV2#set_uva_callback_configuration.

  @registered_callbacks[id] = callback
end

#reset ⇒ Object

Calling this function will reset the Bricklet. All configurations will be lost.

After a reset you have to create new device objects, calling functions on the existing ones will result in undefined behavior!

end

#set_bootloader_mode(mode) ⇒ Object

Sets the bootloader mode and returns the status after the requested mode change was instigated.

You can change from bootloader mode to firmware mode and vice versa. A change from bootloader mode to firmware mode will only take place if the entry function, device identifier and CRC are present and correct.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

end

#set_configuration(integration_time) ⇒ Object

Sets the configuration of the sensor. The integration time can be configured between 50 and 800 ms. With a shorter integration time the sensor reading updates more often but contains more noise. With a longer integration the sensor reading contains less noise but updates less often.

With a longer integration time (especially 800 ms) and a higher UV intensity the sensor can be saturated. If this happens the UVA/UVB/UVI readings are all -1. In this case you need to choose a shorter integration time.

end

#set_status_led_config(config) ⇒ Object

Sets the status LED configuration. By default the LED shows communication traffic between Brick and Bricklet, it flickers once for every 10 received data packets.

You can also turn the LED permanently on/off or show a heartbeat.

If the Bricklet is in bootloader mode, the LED is will show heartbeat by default.

end

#set_uva_callback_configuration(period, value_has_to_change, option, min, max) ⇒ Object

The period is the period with which the CALLBACK_UVA callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the ‘value has to change`-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn’t change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.

The ‘option`-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the CALLBACK_UVA callback.

The following options are possible:

"Option", "Description"

"'x'",    "Threshold is turned off"
"'o'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is *outside* the min and max values"
"'i'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is *inside* or equal to the min and max values"
"'<'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)"
"'>'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is greater than the min value (max is ignored)"

If the option is set to ‘x’ (threshold turned off) the callback is triggered with the fixed period.

#set_uvb_callback_configuration(period, value_has_to_change, option, min, max) ⇒ Object

The period is the period with which the CALLBACK_UVB callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

#set_write_firmware_pointer(pointer) ⇒ Object

Sets the firmware pointer for BrickletUVLightV2#write_firmware. The pointer has to be increased by chunks of size 64. The data is written to flash every 4 chunks (which equals to one page of size 256).

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

Writes a new UID into flash. If you want to set a new UID you have to decode the Base58 encoded UID string into an integer first.

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.
