API¶

Most functions of the C/C++ bindings return an error code (e_code). Data returned from the device, when a getter is called, is handled via output parameters. These parameters are labeled with the ret_ prefix.

Possible error codes are:

E_OK = 0
E_TIMEOUT = -1
E_NO_STREAM_SOCKET = -2
E_HOSTNAME_INVALID = -3
E_NO_CONNECT = -4
E_NO_THREAD = -5
E_NOT_ADDED = -6 (unused since C/C++ bindings version 2.0.0)
E_ALREADY_CONNECTED = -7
E_NOT_CONNECTED = -8
E_INVALID_PARAMETER = -9
E_NOT_SUPPORTED = -10
E_UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE = -11
E_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = -12
E_INVALID_UID = -13
E_NON_ASCII_CHAR_IN_SECRET = -14
E_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = -15
E_DEVICE_REPLACED = -16
E_WRONG_RESPONSE_LENGTH = -17

as defined in ip_connection.h.

All functions listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions¶

void distance_ir_create(DistanceIR *distance_ir, const char *uid, IPConnection *ipcon)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR * uid – Type: const char * ipcon – Type: IPConnection *

Creates the device object distance_ir with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ipcon:

DistanceIR distance_ir;
distance_ir_create(&distance_ir, "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon);

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

void distance_ir_destroy(DistanceIR *distance_ir)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR *

Removes the device object distance_ir from its IPConnection and destroys it. The device object cannot be used anymore afterwards.

int distance_ir_get_distance(DistanceIR *distance_ir, uint16_t *ret_distance)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR *
Output Parameters:	ret_distance – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1 mm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the distance measured by the sensor. Possible distance ranges are 40 to 300, 100 to 800 and 200 to 1500, depending on the selected IR sensor.

If you want to get the distance periodically, it is recommended to use the DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_DISTANCE callback and set the period with distance_ir_set_distance_callback_period().

Advanced Functions¶

int distance_ir_get_analog_value(DistanceIR *distance_ir, uint16_t *ret_value)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR *
Output Parameters:	ret_value – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹² - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the value as read by a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter.

Note

The value returned by distance_ir_get_distance() is averaged over several samples to yield less noise, while distance_ir_get_analog_value() gives back raw unfiltered analog values. The only reason to use distance_ir_get_analog_value() is, if you need the full resolution of the analog-to-digital converter.

If you want the analog value periodically, it is recommended to use the DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE callback and set the period with distance_ir_set_analog_value_callback_period().

int distance_ir_set_sampling_point(DistanceIR *distance_ir, uint8_t position, uint16_t distance)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR * position – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 127] distance – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 mm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets a sampling point value to a specific position of the lookup table. The lookup table comprises 128 equidistant analog values with corresponding distances.

If you measure a distance of 50cm at the analog value 2048, you should call this function with (64, 5000). The utilized analog-to-digital converter has a resolution of 12 bit. With 128 sampling points on the whole range, this means that every sampling point has a size of 32 analog values. Thus the analog value 2048 has the corresponding sampling point 64 = 2048/32.

Sampling points are saved on the EEPROM of the Distance IR Bricklet and loaded again on startup.

Note

An easy way to calibrate the sampling points of the Distance IR Bricklet is implemented in the Brick Viewer. If you want to calibrate your Bricklet it is highly recommended to use this implementation.

int distance_ir_get_sampling_point(DistanceIR *distance_ir, uint8_t position, uint16_t *ret_distance)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR * position – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 127]
Output Parameters:	ret_distance – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 mm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the distance to a sampling point position as set by distance_ir_set_sampling_point().

int distance_ir_get_identity(DistanceIR *distance_ir, char ret_uid[8], char ret_connected_uid[8], char *ret_position, uint8_t ret_hardware_version[3], uint8_t ret_firmware_version[3], uint16_t *ret_device_identifier)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR *
Output Parameters:	ret_uid – Type: char[8] ret_connected_uid – Type: char[8] ret_position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] ret_hardware_version – Type: uint8_t[3] 0: major – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] ret_firmware_version – Type: uint8_t[3] 0: major – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] ret_device_identifier – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the distance_ir_register_callback() function:

void my_callback(int value, void *user_data) {
    printf("Value: %d\n", value);
}

distance_ir_register_callback(&distance_ir,
                              DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_EXAMPLE,
                              (void (*)(void))my_callback,
                              NULL);

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.

DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_DISTANCE¶

void callback(uint16_t distance, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	distance – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1 mm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by distance_ir_set_distance_callback_period(). The parameter is the distance of the sensor.

The DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_DISTANCE callback is only triggered if the distance has changed since the last triggering.

DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE¶

void callback(uint16_t value, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	value – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹² - 1] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by distance_ir_set_analog_value_callback_period(). The parameter is the analog value of the sensor.

The DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE callback is only triggered if the analog value has changed since the last triggering.

DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_DISTANCE_REACHED¶

void callback(uint16_t distance, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	distance – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1 mm, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by distance_ir_set_distance_callback_threshold() is reached. The parameter is the distance of the sensor.

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

DISTANCE_IR_CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE_REACHED¶

void callback(uint16_t value, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	value – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹² - 1] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by distance_ir_set_analog_value_callback_threshold() is reached. The parameter is the analog value of the sensor.

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

int distance_ir_get_api_version(DistanceIR *distance_ir, uint8_t ret_api_version[3])¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR *
Output Parameters:	ret_api_version – Type: uint8_t[3] 0: major – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

int distance_ir_get_response_expected(DistanceIR *distance_ir, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR * function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Output Parameters:	ret_response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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 distance_ir_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:

DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLING_POINT = 3
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_DISTANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 7
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_DISTANCE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 11
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 13

int distance_ir_set_response_expected(DistanceIR *distance_ir, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR * function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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:

DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLING_POINT = 3
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_DISTANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 7
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_DISTANCE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 11
DISTANCE_IR_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 13

int distance_ir_set_response_expected_all(DistanceIR *distance_ir, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	distance_ir – Type: DistanceIR * response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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

Constants¶

DISTANCE_IR_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Distance IR Bricklet.

The distance_ir_get_identity() function and the IPCON_CALLBACK_ENUMERATE callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

DISTANCE_IR_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a Distance IR Bricklet.
