Basic Functions¶

class BrickletAccelerometer(string $uid, IPConnection $ipcon)¶

Parameters:	$uid – Type: string $ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:	$accelerometer – Type: BrickletAccelerometer

Creates an object with the unique device ID $uid:

<?php   $accelerometer = new BrickletAccelerometer('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', $ipcon);   ?>

This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.

array BrickletAccelerometer::getAcceleration()¶

Return Array:	'x' – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? 'y' – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? 'z' – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ?

Returns the acceleration in x, y and z direction. The values are given in gₙ/1000 (1gₙ = 9.80665m/s²). The range is configured with setConfiguration().

If you want to get the acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_ACCELERATION callback and set the period with setAccelerationCallbackPeriod().

int BrickletAccelerometer::getTemperature()¶

Returns:	$temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-103 to 152]

void BrickletAccelerometer::ledOff()¶

Disables the LED on the Bricklet.

bool BrickletAccelerometer::isLEDOn()¶

Returns:	$on – Type: bool, Default: FALSE

Returns true if the LED is enabled, false otherwise.

keeps being reached.

int BrickletAccelerometer::getDebouncePeriod()¶

Returns:	$debounce – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100

Returns the debounce period as set by setDebouncePeriod().

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the registerCallback() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function:

<?php

function myCallback($param)
{
    echo $param . "\n";
}

$accelerometer->registerCallback(BrickletAccelerometer::CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, 'myCallback');

?>

The available constants with corresponding function signatures are described below.

int BrickletAccelerometer::CALLBACK_ACCELERATION¶

<?php   void callback(int $x, int $y, int $z [, mixed $user_data])   ?>

Callback Parameters:	$x – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? $y – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? $z – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? $user_data – Type: mixed

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by setAccelerationCallbackPeriod(). The parameters are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with setConfiguration().

The CALLBACK_ACCELERATION callback is only triggered if the acceleration has changed since the last triggering.

int BrickletAccelerometer::CALLBACK_ACCELERATION_REACHED¶

<?php   void callback(int $x, int $y, int $z [, mixed $user_data])   ?>

Callback Parameters:	$x – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? $y – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? $z – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? $user_data – Type: mixed

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by setAccelerationCallbackThreshold() is reached. The parameters are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with setConfiguration().

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by setDebouncePeriod().

Virtual Functions¶

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object. They can be called without the corresponding IP Connection object being connected.

array BrickletAccelerometer::getAPIVersion()¶

Return Array:	$api_version – Type: array(int, ...), Length: 3 0: $major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: $minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: $revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

Returns the version of the API definition implemented by this API bindings. This is neither the release version of this API bindings nor does it tell you anything about the represented Brick or Bricklet.

bool BrickletAccelerometer::getResponseExpected(int $function_id)¶

Parameters:	$function_id – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	$response_expected – Type: bool

Returns the response expected flag for the function specified by the function ID parameter. It is true if the function is expected to send a response, false otherwise.

For getter functions this is enabled by default and cannot be disabled, because those functions will always send a response. For callback configuration functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by setResponseExpected(). For setter functions it is disabled by default and can be enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For $function_id:

• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_LED_ON = 11
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_LED_OFF = 12

void BrickletAccelerometer::setResponseExpected(int $function_id, bool $response_expected)¶

Parameters:	$function_id – Type: int, Range: See constants $response_expected – Type: bool

Changes the response expected flag of the function specified by the function ID parameter. This flag can only be changed for setter (default value: false) and callback configuration functions (default value: true). For getter functions it is always enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For $function_id:

• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_LED_ON = 11
• BrickletAccelerometer::FUNCTION_LED_OFF = 12

void BrickletAccelerometer::setResponseExpectedAll(bool $response_expected)¶

Parameters:	$response_expected – Type: bool

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.

Constants¶

int BrickletAccelerometer::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Accelerometer Bricklet.

The getIdentity() function and the IPConnection::CALLBACK_ENUMERATE callback of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

string BrickletAccelerometer::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Accelerometer Bricklet.
