Basic Functions¶

func energy_monitor_bricklet.New(uid string, ipcon *IPConnection) (device EnergyMonitorBricklet, err error)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: string ipcon – Type: *IPConnection
Returns:	device – Type: EnergyMonitorBricklet err – Type: error

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

device, err := energy_monitor_bricklet.New("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon)

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

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetEnergyData() (voltage int32, current int32, energy int32, realPower int32, apparentPower int32, reactivePower int32, powerFactor uint16, frequency uint16, err error)¶

Returns:

voltage – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 V, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] current – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 A, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] energy – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 Wh, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] realPower – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 W, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] apparentPower – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 VA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] reactivePower – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 var, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] powerFactor – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/1000, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] frequency – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/100 Hz, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] err – Type: error

Returns all of the measurements that are done by the Energy Monitor Bricklet.

• Voltage RMS
• Current RMS
• Energy (integrated over time)
• Real Power
• Apparent Power
• Reactive Power
• Power Factor
• Frequency (AC Frequency of the mains voltage)

The frequency is recalculated every 6 seconds.

All other values are integrated over 10 zero-crossings of the voltage sine wave. With a standard AC mains voltage frequency of 50Hz this results in a 5 measurements per second (or an integration time of 200ms per measurement).

If no voltage transformer is connected, the Bricklet will use the current waveform to calculate the frequency and it will use an integration time of 10 zero-crossings of the current waveform.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) ResetEnergy() (err error)¶

Returns:	err – Type: error

Sets the energy value (see GetEnergyData()) back to 0Wh.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetWaveform() (waveform []int16, err error)¶

Returns:	waveform – Type: []int16, Length: 1536, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] err – Type: error

Returns a snapshot of the voltage and current waveform. The values in the returned array alternate between voltage and current. The data from one getter call contains 768 data points for voltage and current, which correspond to about 3 full sine waves.

The voltage is given with a resolution of 100mV and the current is given with a resolution of 10mA.

This data is meant to be used for a non-realtime graphical representation of the voltage and current waveforms.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetTransformerStatus() (voltageTransformerConnected bool, currentTransformerConnected bool, err error)¶

Returns:	voltageTransformerConnected – Type: bool currentTransformerConnected – Type: bool err – Type: error

Returns true if a voltage/current transformer is connected to the Bricklet.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) SetTransformerCalibration(voltageRatio uint16, currentRatio uint16, phaseShift int16) (err error)¶

Parameters:	voltageRatio – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1923 currentRatio – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 3000 phaseShift – Type: int16, Range: [0], Default: 0
Returns:	err – Type: error

Sets the transformer ratio for the voltage and current transformer in 1/100 form.

Example: If your mains voltage is 230V, you use 9V voltage transformer and a 1V:30A current clamp your voltage ratio is 230/9 = 25.56 and your current ratio is 30/1 = 30.

In this case you have to set the values 2556 and 3000 for voltage ratio and current ratio.

The calibration is saved in non-volatile memory, you only have to set it once.

Set the phase shift to 0. It is for future use and currently not supported by the Bricklet.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetTransformerCalibration() (voltageRatio uint16, currentRatio uint16, phaseShift int16, err error)¶

Returns:	voltageRatio – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1923 currentRatio – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 3000 phaseShift – Type: int16, Range: [0], Default: 0 err – Type: error

Returns the transformer calibration as set by SetTransformerCalibration().

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) CalibrateOffset() (err error)¶

Returns:	err – Type: error

Calling this function will start an offset calibration. The offset calibration will integrate the voltage and current waveform over a longer time period to find the 0 transition point in the sine wave.

The Bricklet comes with a factory-calibrated offset value, you should not have to call this function.

If you want to re-calibrate the offset we recommend that you connect a load that has a smooth sinusoidal voltage and current waveform. Alternatively you can also short both inputs.

The calibration is saved in non-volatile memory, you only have to set it once.

Advanced Functions¶

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetSPITFPErrorCount() (errorCountAckChecksum uint32, errorCountMessageChecksum uint32, errorCountFrame uint32, errorCountOverflow uint32, err error)¶

Returns:	errorCountAckChecksum – Type: uint32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] errorCountMessageChecksum – Type: uint32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] errorCountFrame – Type: uint32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] errorCountOverflow – Type: uint32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] err – Type: error

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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) SetStatusLEDConfig(config uint8) (err error)¶

Parameters:	config – Type: uint8, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	err – Type: error

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:

• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigOff = 0
• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigOn = 1
• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigShowHeartbeat = 2
• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigShowStatus = 3

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetStatusLEDConfig() (config uint8, err error)¶

Returns:	config – Type: uint8, Range: See constants, Default: 3 err – Type: error

Returns the configuration as set by SetStatusLEDConfig()

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigOff = 0
• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigOn = 1
• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigShowHeartbeat = 2
• energy_monitor_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigShowStatus = 3

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetChipTemperature() (temperature int16, err error)¶

Returns:	temperature – Type: int16, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] err – Type: error

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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) Reset() (err error)¶

Returns:	err – Type: error

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!

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetIdentity() (uid string, connectedUid string, position rune, hardwareVersion [3]uint8, firmwareVersion [3]uint8, deviceIdentifier uint16, err error)¶

Returns:

uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8 connectedUid – Type: string, Length: up to 8 position – Type: rune, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardwareVersion – Type: [3]uint8 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] firmwareVersion – Type: [3]uint8 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] deviceIdentifier – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] err – Type: error

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¶

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) SetEnergyDataCallbackConfiguration(period uint32, valueHasToChange bool) (err error)¶

Parameters:	period – Type: uint32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: bool, Default: false
Returns:	err – Type: error

The period is the period with which the EnergyDataCallback 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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetEnergyDataCallbackConfiguration() (period uint32, valueHasToChange bool, err error)¶

Returns:	period – Type: uint32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: bool, Default: false err – Type: error

Returns the callback configuration as set by SetEnergyDataCallbackConfiguration().

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding Register*Callback function, which returns a unique callback ID. This ID can be used to deregister the callback later with the corresponding Deregister*Callback function.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) RegisterEnergyDataCallback(func(voltage int32, current int32, energy int32, realPower int32, apparentPower int32, reactivePower int32, powerFactor uint16, frequency uint16)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:

voltage – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 V, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] current – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 A, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] energy – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 Wh, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] realPower – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 W, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] apparentPower – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 VA, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] reactivePower – Type: int32, Unit: 1/100 var, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] powerFactor – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/1000, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] frequency – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/100 Hz, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns:

registrationId – Type: uint64

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by SetEnergyDataCallbackConfiguration().

The callback parameters are the same as GetEnergyData().

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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetAPIVersion() (apiVersion [3]uint8, err error)¶

Returns:	apiVersion – Type: [3]uint8 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] err – Type: error

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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetResponseExpected(functionId uint8) (responseExpected bool, err error)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: uint8, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: bool err – Type: error

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 functionId:

• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionResetEnergy = 2
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetTransformerCalibration = 5
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionCalibrateOffset = 7
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetEnergyDataCallbackConfiguration = 8
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetWriteFirmwarePointer = 237
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetStatusLEDConfig = 239
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionReset = 243
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionWriteUID = 248

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) SetResponseExpected(functionId uint8, responseExpected bool) (err error)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: uint8, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: bool
Returns:	err – Type: error

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 functionId:

• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionResetEnergy = 2
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetTransformerCalibration = 5
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionCalibrateOffset = 7
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetEnergyDataCallbackConfiguration = 8
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetWriteFirmwarePointer = 237
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionSetStatusLEDConfig = 239
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionReset = 243
• energy_monitor_bricklet.FunctionWriteUID = 248

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) SetResponseExpectedAll(responseExpected bool) (err error)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: bool
Returns:	err – Type: error

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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) SetBootloaderMode(mode uint8) (status uint8, err error)¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: uint8, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: uint8, Range: See constants err – Type: error

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:

• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeBootloader = 0
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeFirmware = 1
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeBootloaderWaitForReboot = 2
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeFirmwareWaitForReboot = 3
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeFirmwareWaitForEraseAndReboot = 4

For status:

• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderStatusOK = 0
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderStatusInvalidMode = 1
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderStatusNoChange = 2
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderStatusEntryFunctionNotPresent = 3
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderStatusDeviceIdentifierIncorrect = 4
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderStatusCRCMismatch = 5

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) GetBootloaderMode() (mode uint8, err error)¶

Returns:	mode – Type: uint8, Range: See constants err – Type: error

Returns the current bootloader mode, see SetBootloaderMode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeBootloader = 0
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeFirmware = 1
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeBootloaderWaitForReboot = 2
• energy_monitor_bricklet.BootloaderModeFirmwareWaitForReboot = 3

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) SetWriteFirmwarePointer(pointer uint32) (err error)¶

Parameters:	pointer – Type: uint32, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:	err – Type: error

Sets the firmware pointer for WriteFirmware(). 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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) WriteFirmware(data [64]uint8) (status uint8, err error)¶

Parameters:	data – Type: [64]uint8, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	status – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] err – Type: error

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by SetWriteFirmwarePointer() 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.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) WriteUID(uid uint32) (err error)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: uint32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:	err – Type: error

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.

func (*EnergyMonitorBricklet) ReadUID() (uid uint32, err error)¶

Returns:	uid – Type: uint32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] err – Type: error

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

Constants¶

energy_monitor_bricklet.DeviceIdentifier¶

This constant is used to identify a Energy Monitor Bricklet.

The GetIdentity() function and the (*IPConnection) RegisterEnumerateCallback callback of the IPConnection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

energy_monitor_bricklet.DeviceDisplayName¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Energy Monitor Bricklet.
