Basic Functions¶

func humidity_bricklet.New(uid string, ipcon *IPConnection) (device HumidityBricklet, err error)¶

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

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

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

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

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

Returns:	humidity – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/10 %, Range: [0 to 1000] err – Type: error

Returns the humidity of the sensor.

If you want to get the humidity periodically, it is recommended to use the HumidityCallback callback and set the period with SetHumidityCallbackPeriod().

Advanced Functions¶

func (*HumidityBricklet) GetAnalogValue() (value uint16, err error)¶

Returns:	value – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 212 - 1] err – Type: error

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

Note

The value returned by GetHumidity() is averaged over several samples to yield less noise, while GetAnalogValue() gives back raw unfiltered analog values. The returned humidity value is calibrated for room temperatures, if you use the sensor in extreme cold or extreme warm environments, you might want to calculate the humidity from the analog value yourself. See the HIH 5030 datasheet.

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

func (*HumidityBricklet) 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.

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

Callback Parameters:	humidity – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/10 %, Range: [0 to 1000]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

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

The HumidityCallback callback is only triggered if the humidity has changed since the last triggering.

func (*HumidityBricklet) RegisterAnalogValueCallback(func(value uint16)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:	value – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

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

The AnalogValueCallback callback is only triggered if the humidity has changed since the last triggering.

func (*HumidityBricklet) RegisterHumidityReachedCallback(func(humidity uint16)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:	humidity – Type: uint16, Unit: 1/10 %, Range: [0 to 1000]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

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

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

func (*HumidityBricklet) RegisterAnalogValueReachedCallback(func(value uint16)) (registrationId uint64)¶

Callback Parameters:	value – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]
Returns:	registrationId – Type: uint64

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by SetAnalogValueCallbackThreshold() is reached. The callback 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 SetDebouncePeriod().

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 (*HumidityBricklet) 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 (*HumidityBricklet) 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_bricklet.FunctionSetHumidityCallbackPeriod = 3
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetAnalogValueCallbackPeriod = 5
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetHumidityCallbackThreshold = 7
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetAnalogValueCallbackThreshold = 9
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetDebouncePeriod = 11

func (*HumidityBricklet) 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:

• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetHumidityCallbackPeriod = 3
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetAnalogValueCallbackPeriod = 5
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetHumidityCallbackThreshold = 7
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetAnalogValueCallbackThreshold = 9
• humidity_bricklet.FunctionSetDebouncePeriod = 11

func (*HumidityBricklet) 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.

Constants¶

humidity_bricklet.DeviceIdentifier¶

This constant is used to identify a Humidity 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.

humidity_bricklet.DeviceDisplayName¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Humidity Bricklet.
