API¶

Functions that return multiple values return them in an associative array.

Basic Functions¶

class BrickletCO2(string $uid, IPConnection $ipcon)¶

Parameters:	$uid – Type: string $ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:	$co2 – Type: BrickletCO2

Creates an object with the unique device ID $uid:

<?php   $co2 = new BrickletCO2('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', $ipcon);   ?>

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

int BrickletCO2::getCO2Concentration()¶

Returns:	$co2_concentration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 10000]

Returns the measured CO2 concentration.

If you want to get the CO2 concentration periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION callback and set the period with setCO2ConcentrationCallbackPeriod().

Advanced Functions¶

The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Callback Configuration Functions¶

void BrickletCO2::registerCallback(int $callback_id, callable $callback, mixed $user_data=NULL)¶

Parameters:	$callback_id – Type: int $callback – Type: callable $user_data – Type: mixed

Registers the given $function with the given $callback_id. The optional $user_data will be passed as the last parameter to the function.

The available callback IDs with corresponding function signatures are listed below.

void BrickletCO2::setCO2ConcentrationCallbackPeriod(int $period)¶

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

Sets the period with which the CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

The CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION callback is only triggered if the CO2 concentration has changed since the last triggering.

int BrickletCO2::getCO2ConcentrationCallbackPeriod()¶

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

Returns the period as set by setCO2ConcentrationCallbackPeriod().

void BrickletCO2::setCO2ConcentrationCallbackThreshold(string $option, int $min, int $max)¶

Parameters:	$option – Type: string, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' $min – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0 $max – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0

Sets the thresholds for the CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION_REACHED callback.

The following options are possible:

Option	Description
'x'	Callback is turned off
'o'	Callback is triggered when the CO2 concentration is outside the min and max values
'i'	Callback is triggered when the CO2 concentration is inside the min and max values
'<'	Callback is triggered when the CO2 concentration is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)
'>'	Callback is triggered when the CO2 concentration is greater than the min value (max is ignored)

The following constants are available for this function:

For $option:

BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

array BrickletCO2::getCO2ConcentrationCallbackThreshold()¶

Return Array:	'option' – Type: string, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' 'min' – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0 'max' – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0

Returns the threshold as set by setCO2ConcentrationCallbackThreshold().

The following constants are available for this function:

For $option:

BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
BrickletCO2::THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

void BrickletCO2::setDebouncePeriod(int $debounce)¶

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

Sets the period with which the threshold callbacks

CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION_REACHED,

are triggered, if the thresholds

setCO2ConcentrationCallbackThreshold(),

keep being reached.

int BrickletCO2::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";
}

$co2->registerCallback(BrickletCO2::CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, 'myCallback');

?>

The available constants with corresponding function signatures are described below.

Note

Using callbacks for recurring events is always preferred compared to using getters. It will use less USB bandwidth and the latency will be a lot better, since there is no round trip time.

int BrickletCO2::CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION¶

<?php   void callback(int $co2_concentration [, mixed $user_data])   ?>

Callback Parameters:	$co2_concentration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 10000] $user_data – Type: mixed

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by setCO2ConcentrationCallbackPeriod(). The parameter is the CO2 concentration of the sensor.

The CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION callback is only triggered if the CO2 concentration has changed since the last triggering.

int BrickletCO2::CALLBACK_CO2_CONCENTRATION_REACHED¶

<?php   void callback(int $co2_concentration [, mixed $user_data])   ?>

Callback Parameters:	$co2_concentration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 10000] $user_data – Type: mixed

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by setCO2ConcentrationCallbackThreshold() is reached. The parameter is the CO2 concentration.

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 BrickletCO2::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 BrickletCO2::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:

BrickletCO2::FUNCTION_SET_CO2_CONCENTRATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
BrickletCO2::FUNCTION_SET_CO2_CONCENTRATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
BrickletCO2::FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6

void BrickletCO2::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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For $function_id:

BrickletCO2::FUNCTION_SET_CO2_CONCENTRATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
BrickletCO2::FUNCTION_SET_CO2_CONCENTRATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
BrickletCO2::FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6

void BrickletCO2::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 BrickletCO2::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a CO2 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 BrickletCO2::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a CO2 Bricklet.
