API¶

The Humidity Bricklet 2.0 API is defined in the package github.com/Tinkerforge/go-api-bindings/humidity_v2_bricklet

Nearly every function of the Go bindings can return an ipconnection.DeviceError, implementing the error interface. The error can have one of the following values:

ipconnection.DeviceErrorSuccess = 0
ipconnection.DeviceErrorInvalidParameter = 1
ipconnection.DeviceErrorFunctionNotSupported = 2
ipconnection.DeviceErrorUnknownError = 3

which correspond to the values returned from Bricks and Bricklets.

All functions listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions¶

func humidity_v2_bricklet.New(uid string, ipcon *IPConnection) (device HumidityV2Bricklet, err error)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: string ipcon – Type: *IPConnection
Returns:	device – Type: HumidityV2Bricklet err – Type: error

Creates a new HumidityV2Bricklet object with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ipcon:

device, err := humidity_v2_bricklet.New("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon)

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

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) GetHumidity() (humidity uint16, err error)¶

Returns:	humidity – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 10000] err – Type: error

Returns the humidity measured by the sensor.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the HumidityCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with SetHumidityCallbackConfiguration().

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) GetTemperature() (temperature int16, err error)¶

Returns:	temperature – Type: int16, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-4000 to 16500] err – Type: error

Returns the temperature measured by the sensor.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the TemperatureCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with SetTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) SetHeaterConfiguration(heaterConfig uint8) (err error)¶

Parameters:	heaterConfig – Type: uint8, Range: See constants, Default: False
Returns:	err – Type: error

Enables/disables the heater. The heater can be used to dry the sensor in extremely wet conditions.

The following constants are available for this function:

For heaterConfig:

humidity_v2_bricklet.HeaterConfigDisabled = 0
humidity_v2_bricklet.HeaterConfigEnabled = 1

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) GetHeaterConfiguration() (heaterConfig uint8, err error)¶

Returns:	heaterConfig – Type: uint8, Range: See constants, Default: False err – Type: error

Returns the heater configuration as set by SetHeaterConfiguration().

The following constants are available for this function:

For heaterConfig:

humidity_v2_bricklet.HeaterConfigDisabled = 0
humidity_v2_bricklet.HeaterConfigEnabled = 1

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) SetMovingAverageConfiguration(movingAverageLengthHumidity uint16, movingAverageLengthTemperature uint16) (err error)¶

Parameters:	movingAverageLengthHumidity – Type: uint16, Range: [1 to 1000], Default: 5 movingAverageLengthTemperature – Type: uint16, Range: [1 to 1000], Default: 5
Returns:	err – Type: error

Sets the length of a moving averaging for the humidity and temperature.

Setting the length to 1 will turn the averaging off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data.

New data is gathered every 50ms*. With a moving average of length 1000 the resulting averaging window has a length of 50s. If you want to do long term measurements the longest moving average will give the cleanest results.

* In firmware version 2.0.3 we added the SetSamplesPerSecond() function. It configures the measurement frequency. Since high frequencies can result in self-heating of th IC, changed the default value from 20 samples per second to 1. With 1 sample per second a moving average length of 1000 would result in an averaging window of 1000 seconds!

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) GetMovingAverageConfiguration() (movingAverageLengthHumidity uint16, movingAverageLengthTemperature uint16, err error)¶

Returns:	movingAverageLengthHumidity – Type: uint16, Range: [1 to 1000], Default: 5 movingAverageLengthTemperature – Type: uint16, Range: [1 to 1000], Default: 5 err – Type: error

Returns the moving average configuration as set by SetMovingAverageConfiguration().

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) SetSamplesPerSecond(sps uint8) (err error)¶

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

Sets the samples per second that are gathered by the humidity/temperature sensor HDC1080.

We added this function since we found out that a high measurement frequency can lead to self-heating of the sensor. Which can distort the temperature measurement.

If you don't need a lot of measurements, you can use the lowest available measurement frequency of 0.1 samples per second for the least amount of self-heating.

Before version 2.0.3 the default was 20 samples per second. The new default is 1 sample per second.

The following constants are available for this function:

For sps:

humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS20 = 0
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS10 = 1
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS5 = 2
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS1 = 3
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS02 = 4
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS01 = 5

New in version 2.0.3 (Plugin).

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) GetSamplesPerSecond() (sps uint8, err error)¶

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

Returnes the samples per second, as set by SetSamplesPerSecond().

The following constants are available for this function:

For sps:

humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS20 = 0
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS10 = 1
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS5 = 2
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS1 = 3
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS02 = 4
humidity_v2_bricklet.SPS01 = 5

New in version 2.0.3 (Plugin).

Advanced Functions¶

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) 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 (*HumidityV2Bricklet) 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:

humidity_v2_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigOff = 0
humidity_v2_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigOn = 1
humidity_v2_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigShowHeartbeat = 2

humidity_v2_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigOn = 1
humidity_v2_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigShowHeartbeat = 2
humidity_v2_bricklet.StatusLEDConfigShowStatus = 3

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) 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 (*HumidityV2Bricklet) 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!

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 (*HumidityV2Bricklet) SetHumidityCallbackConfiguration(period uint32, valueHasToChange bool, option rune, min uint16, max uint16) (err error)¶

Parameters:	period – Type: uint32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: bool, Default: false option – Type: rune, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' min – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0
Returns:	err – Type: error

The period is the period with which the HumidityCallback 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 HumidityCallback 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.

humidity_v2_bricklet.ThresholdOptionSmaller = '<'
humidity_v2_bricklet.ThresholdOptionGreater = '>'

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.

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.

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) RegisterHumidityCallback(func(humidity uint16)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:	humidity – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 10000]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

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

The callback parameter is the same as GetHumidity().

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) RegisterTemperatureCallback(func(temperature int16)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:	temperature – Type: int16, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-4000 to 16500]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

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

The callback parameter is the same as GetTemperature().

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 (*HumidityV2Bricklet) 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 (*HumidityV2Bricklet) 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:

humidity_v2_bricklet.FunctionSetHumidityCallbackConfiguration = 2
humidity_v2_bricklet.FunctionSetTemperatureCallbackConfiguration = 6
humidity_v2_bricklet.FunctionSetHeaterConfiguration = 9

func (*HumidityV2Bricklet) 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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For functionId:

humidity_v2_bricklet.FunctionSetHumidityCallbackConfiguration = 2
humidity_v2_bricklet.FunctionSetTemperatureCallbackConfiguration = 6
humidity_v2_bricklet.FunctionSetHeaterConfiguration = 9

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.
