Basic Functions¶

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

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	compass – Type: CompassBricklet

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

let compass = CompassBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_heading(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i16>¶

Returns:	heading – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °, Range: [0 to 3600]

Returns the heading (north = 0 degree, east = 90 degree).

Alternatively you can use CompassBricklet::get_magnetic_flux_density and calculate the heading with heading = atan2(y, x) * 180 / PI.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the CompassBricklet::get_heading_callback_receiver callback. You can set the callback configuration with CompassBricklet::set_heading_callback_configuration.

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_magnetic_flux_density(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<MagneticFluxDensity>¶

Return Object:	x – Type: i32, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-80000 to 80000] y – Type: i32, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-80000 to 80000] z – Type: i32, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-80000 to 80000]

Returns the magnetic flux density (magnetic induction) for all three axis.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the CompassBricklet::get_magnetic_flux_density_callback_receiver callback. You can set the callback configuration with CompassBricklet::set_magnetic_flux_density_callback_configuration.

pub fn CompassBricklet::set_configuration(&self, data_rate: u8, background_calibration: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	data_rate – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 0 background_calibration – Type: bool, Default: true

Configures the data rate and background calibration.

• Data Rate: Sets the data rate that is used by the magnetometer. The lower the data rate, the lower is the noise on the data.
• Background Calibration: Set to true to enable the background calibration and false to turn it off. If the background calibration is enabled the sensing polarity is flipped once per second to automatically calculate and remove offset that is caused by temperature changes. This polarity flipping takes about 20ms. This means that once a second you will not get new data for a period of 20ms. We highly recommend that you keep the background calibration enabled and only disable it if the 20ms off-time is a problem in your application.

The following constants are available for this function:

For data_rate:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_100HZ = 0
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_200HZ = 1
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_400HZ = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_600HZ = 3

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_configuration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Configuration>¶

Return Object:	data_rate – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 0 background_calibration – Type: bool, Default: true

Returns the configuration as set by CompassBricklet::set_configuration.

The following constants are available for this function:

For data_rate:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_100HZ = 0
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_200HZ = 1
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_400HZ = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_DATA_RATE_600HZ = 3

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn CompassBricklet::set_calibration(&self, offset: [i16; 3], gain: [i16; 3]) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	offset – Type: [i16; 3] 0: x – Type: i16, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 1: y – Type: i16, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 2: z – Type: i16, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] gain – Type: [i16; 3] 0: x – Type: i16, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 1: y – Type: i16, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 2: z – Type: i16, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]

Sets offset and gain for each of the three axes.

The Bricklet is factory calibrated. If you want to re-calibrate the Bricklet we recommend that you do the calibration through Brick Viewer.

The calibration is saved in non-volatile memory and only has to be done once.

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_calibration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Calibration>¶

Return Object:	offset – Type: [i16; 3] 0: x – Type: i16, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 1: y – Type: i16, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 2: z – Type: i16, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] gain – Type: [i16; 3] 0: x – Type: i16, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 1: y – Type: i16, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] 2: z – Type: i16, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]

Returns the calibration parameters as set by CompassBricklet::set_calibration.

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_spitfp_error_count(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<SpitfpErrorCount>¶

Return Object:	error_count_ack_checksum – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_message_checksum – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_frame – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_overflow – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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.

pub fn CompassBricklet::set_status_led_config(&self, config: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	config – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_status_led_config(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Returns:	config – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by CompassBricklet::set_status_led_config

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_chip_temperature(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i16>¶

Returns:	temperature – Type: i16, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]

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.

pub fn CompassBricklet::reset(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

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!

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_identity(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Identity>¶

Return Object:

uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 connected_uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardware_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] firmware_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] device_identifier – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

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 Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

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

Callback Configuration Functions¶

pub fn CompassBricklet::set_heading_callback_configuration(&self, period: u32, value_has_to_change: bool, option: char, min: i16, max: i16) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	period – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' min – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1], Default: 0

The period is the period with which the CompassBricklet::get_heading_callback_receiver 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 CompassBricklet::get_heading_callback_receiver 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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_heading_callback_configuration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<HeadingCallbackConfiguration>¶

Return Object:	period – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' min – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the callback configuration as set by CompassBricklet::set_heading_callback_configuration.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

pub fn CompassBricklet::set_magnetic_flux_density_callback_configuration(&self, period: u32, value_has_to_change: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

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

The period is the period with which the CompassBricklet::get_magnetic_flux_density_callback_receiver 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.

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_magnetic_flux_density_callback_configuration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<MagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration>¶

Return Object:	period – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns the callback configuration as set by CompassBricklet::set_magnetic_flux_density_callback_configuration.

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 CompassBricklet::get_heading_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<i16>¶

Event:	heading – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °, Range: [0 to 3600]

Receivers created with this function receive Heading events.

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by CompassBricklet::set_heading_callback_configuration.

The received variable is the same as CompassBricklet::get_heading.

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_magnetic_flux_density_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<MagneticFluxDensityEvent>¶

Event Object:	x – Type: i32, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-80000 to 80000] y – Type: i32, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-80000 to 80000] z – Type: i32, Unit: 1/100 µT, Range: [-80000 to 80000]

Receivers created with this function receive Magnetic Flux Density events.

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by CompassBricklet::set_magnetic_flux_density_callback_configuration.

The members of the received struct are the same as CompassBricklet::get_magnetic_flux_density.

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 CompassBricklet::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 CompassBricklet::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 CompassBricklet::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:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_HEADING_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_MAGNETIC_FLUX_DENSITY_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 11
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

pub fn CompassBricklet::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:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_HEADING_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_MAGNETIC_FLUX_DENSITY_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 11
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

pub fn CompassBricklet::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.

Internal Functions¶

Internal functions are used for maintenance tasks such as flashing a new firmware of changing the UID of a Bricklet. These task should be performed using Brick Viewer instead of using the internal functions directly.

pub fn CompassBricklet::set_bootloader_mode(&self, mode: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: u8, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: u8, Range: See constants

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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5

pub fn CompassBricklet::get_bootloader_mode(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Returns:	mode – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see CompassBricklet::set_bootloader_mode.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
• COMPASS_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

pub fn CompassBricklet::set_write_firmware_pointer(&self, pointer: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	pointer – Type: u32, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for CompassBricklet::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.

pub fn CompassBricklet::write_firmware(&self, data: [u8; 64]) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Parameters:	data – Type: [u8; 64], Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	status – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by CompassBricklet::set_write_firmware_pointer before. The firmware is written to flash every 4 chunks.

You can only write firmware in bootloader mode.

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

pub fn CompassBricklet::write_uid(&self, uid: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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.

pub fn CompassBricklet::read_uid(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

Returns:	uid – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.

Constants¶

pub const CompassBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Compass Bricklet.

The CompassBricklet::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 CompassBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

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