Basic Functions¶

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::new(uid: &str, ip_connection: &IpConnection) → AccelerometerBricklet¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	accelerometer – Type: AccelerometerBricklet

Creates a new AccelerometerBricklet object with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ip_connection:

let accelerometer = AccelerometerBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

This device object can be used after the IP connection has been connected.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Acceleration>¶

Return Object:	x – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? y – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? z – Type: i16, 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 AccelerometerBricklet::set_configuration.

If you want to get the acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_callback_receiver callback and set the period with AccelerometerBricklet::set_acceleration_callback_period.

Returns:	temperature – Type: i16, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-103 to 152]

Returns the temperature of the accelerometer.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::led_on(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Enables the LED on the Bricklet.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::led_off(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Disables the LED on the Bricklet.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::is_led_on(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<bool>¶

Returns:	on – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns true if the LED is enabled, false otherwise.

Parameters:	period – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0

Sets the period with which the AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_callback_receiver callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

The AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the acceleration has changed since the last triggering.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_callback_period(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

Returns:	period – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0

The following options are possible:

Option	Description
'x'	Callback is turned off
'o'	Callback is triggered when the acceleration is outside the min and max values
'i'	Callback is triggered when the acceleration is inside the min and max values

Parameters:	debounce – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100

Sets the period with which the threshold callback

• AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_reached_callback_receiver

is triggered, if the threshold

• AccelerometerBricklet::set_acceleration_callback_threshold

keeps being reached.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::get_debounce_period(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

Returns:	debounce – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100

Returns the debounce period as set by AccelerometerBricklet::set_debounce_period.

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding get_*_callback_receiver function, which returns a receiver for callback events.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<AccelerationEvent>¶

Event Object:	x – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? y – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? z – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ?

Receivers created with this function receive Acceleration events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by AccelerometerBricklet::set_acceleration_callback_period. The members of the received struct are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with AccelerometerBricklet::set_configuration.

The AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the acceleration has changed since the last triggering.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::get_acceleration_reached_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<AccelerationReachedEvent>¶

Event Object:	x – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? y – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? z – Type: i16, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ?

Receivers created with this function receive Acceleration Reached events.

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by AccelerometerBricklet::set_acceleration_callback_threshold is reached. The members of the received struct are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with AccelerometerBricklet::set_configuration.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by AccelerometerBricklet::set_debounce_period.

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.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::get_api_version(&self) → [u8; 3]¶

Return Object:	api_version – Type: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, 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.

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::get_response_expected(&mut self, function_id: u8) → bool¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: u8, 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 AccelerometerBricklet::set_response_expected. 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:

• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LED_ON = 11
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LED_OFF = 12

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::set_response_expected(&mut self, function_id: u8, response_expected: bool) → ()¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: u8, 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:

• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LED_ON = 11
• ACCELEROMETER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LED_OFF = 12

pub fn AccelerometerBricklet::set_response_expected_all(&mut self, response_expected: bool) → ()¶

Parameters:	response_expected – Type: bool

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

Constants¶

pub const AccelerometerBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Accelerometer Bricklet.

The AccelerometerBricklet::get_identity function and the IpConnection::get_enumerate_callback_receiver callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

pub const AccelerometerBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

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