This is the description of the MQTT API bindings for the Dual Button Bricklet 2.0. General information and technical specifications for the Dual Button Bricklet 2.0 are summarized in its hardware description.
An installation guide for the MQTT API bindings is part of their general description.
The example code below is Public Domain (CC0 1.0).

All published payloads to and from the MQTT bindings are in JSON format.
If an error occures, the bindings publish a JSON object containing the error message as member _ERROR
.
It is published on the corresponding response topic: .../response/...
for .../request/...
and .../callback/...
for .../register/...
.

Sets the state of the LEDs. Possible states are:
In auto toggle mode the LED is toggled automatically at each press of a button.
If you just want to set one of the LEDs and don't know the current state
of the other LED, you can get the state with request/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_led_state
or you
can use request/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_selected_led_state
.

Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.
The errors are divided into
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.

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.

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.

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!

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. If symbolic output is not disabled, the device identifier is mapped to the corresponding name in the format used in topics.
The display name contains the Dual Button 2.0's name in a human readable form.

If you enable this callback, the register/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/state_changed
callback is triggered
every time a button is pressed/released

Returns the configuration as set by request/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_state_changed_callback_configuration
.
Callbacks can be registered to receive
time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done
with the corresponding .../register/...
topic and an optional suffix.
This suffix can be used to deregister the callback later.
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.
Register Request: |

---|---|
Callback Response: |
|
A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/state_changed[/<SUFFIX>]
topic with the payload "true".
An added callback can be removed by publishing to the same topic with the payload "false".
To support multiple (de)registrations, e.g. for message filtering, an optional suffix can be used.
If the callback is triggered, a message with it's payload is published under the corresponding .../callback/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/state_changed[/<SUFFIX>]
topic for each registered suffix.
This callback is called whenever a button is pressed.
Possible states for buttons are:
Possible states for LEDs are:
This callback can be enabled with request/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_state_changed_callback_configuration
.

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.

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 symbols are available for this function:

Returns the current bootloader mode, see request/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_bootloader_mode

Sets the firmware pointer for request/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/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.

Response: |

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by
request/dual_button_v2_bricklet/<UID>/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.

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.
Request: |

Response: |

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