Basic Functions¶

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/get_dust_density¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	dust_density – Type: int, Unit: 1 µg/m³, Range: [0 to 500]

Returns the dust density.

If you want to get the dust density periodically, it is recommended to use the register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density callback and set the period with request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_period.

Advanced Functions¶

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_moving_average¶

Request:	average – Type: int, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 100
Response:	no response

Sets the length of a moving averaging for the dust density.

Setting the length to 0 will turn the averaging completely off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data.

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/get_moving_average¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	average – Type: int, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 100

Returns the length moving average as set by request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_moving_average.

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/get_identity¶

Request:

empty payload

Response:

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: [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] firmware_version – Type: [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] device_identifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] _display_name – Type: string

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 Dust Detector's name in a human readable form.

Callback Configuration Functions¶

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_period¶

Request:	period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
Response:	no response

Sets the period with which the register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

The register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density callback is only triggered if the dust density has changed since the last triggering.

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/get_dust_density_callback_period¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	period – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the period as set by request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_period.

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_threshold¶

Request:	option – Type: char, Range: See symbols, Default: "x" min – Type: int, Unit: 1 µg/m³, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: int, Unit: 1 µg/m³, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0
Response:	no response

Sets the thresholds for the register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density_reached callback.

The following options are possible:

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

The following symbols are available for this function:

For option:

• "off" = "x"
• "outside" = "o"
• "inside" = "i"
• "smaller" = "<"
• "greater" = ">"

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/get_dust_density_callback_threshold¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	option – Type: char, Range: See symbols, Default: "x" min – Type: int, Unit: 1 µg/m³, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: int, Unit: 1 µg/m³, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the threshold as set by request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_threshold.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For option:

• "off" = "x"
• "outside" = "o"
• "inside" = "i"
• "smaller" = "<"
• "greater" = ">"

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_debounce_period¶

Request:	debounce – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100
Response:	no response

Sets the period with which the threshold callback

• register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density_reached

is triggered, if the threshold

• request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_threshold

keeps being reached.

request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/get_debounce_period¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	debounce – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100

Returns the debounce period as set by request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/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 .../register/... topic and an optional suffix. This suffix can be used to deregister the callback later.

register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density¶

Register Request:	register – Type: bool
Callback Response:	dust_density – Type: int, Unit: 1 µg/m³, Range: [0 to 500]

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density[/<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/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_period. The callback payload is the dust density of the sensor.

Der register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density callback is only triggered if the dust density value has changed since the last triggering.

register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density_reached¶

Register Request:	register – Type: bool
Callback Response:	dust_density – Type: int, Unit: 1 µg/m³, Range: [0 to 500]

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density_reached[/<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/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/dust_density_reached[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_dust_density_callback_threshold is reached. The callback payload is the dust density of the sensor.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by request/dust_detector_bricklet/<UID>/set_debounce_period.
