Basic Functions¶

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::new(uid: &str, ip_connection: &IpConnection) → LinearPotiBricklet¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	linear_poti – Type: LinearPotiBricklet

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

let linear_poti = LinearPotiBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_position(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	position – Type: u16, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100]

Returns the position of the linear potentiometer. The value is between 0% (slider down) and 100% (slider up).

If you want to get the position periodically, it is recommended to use the LinearPotiBricklet::get_position_callback_receiver callback and set the period with LinearPotiBricklet::set_position_callback_period.

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_analog_value(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	value – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

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

Note

The value returned by LinearPotiBricklet::get_position is averaged over several samples to yield less noise, while LinearPotiBricklet::get_analog_value gives back raw unfiltered analog values. The only reason to use LinearPotiBricklet::get_analog_value is, if you need the full resolution of the analog-to-digital converter.

If you want the analog value periodically, it is recommended to use the LinearPotiBricklet::get_analog_value_callback_receiver callback and set the period with LinearPotiBricklet::set_analog_value_callback_period.

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_identity(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Identity>¶

Return Object:

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: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] firmware_version – Type: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] device_identifier – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

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 get_*_callback_receiver function, which returns a receiver for callback events.

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_position_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u16>¶

Event:	position – Type: u16, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100]

Receivers created with this function receive Position events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by LinearPotiBricklet::set_position_callback_period. The received variable is the position of the linear potentiometer.

The LinearPotiBricklet::get_position_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the position has changed since the last triggering.

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_analog_value_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u16>¶

Event:	value – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Analog Value events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by LinearPotiBricklet::set_analog_value_callback_period. The received variable is the analog value of the Linear Potentiometer.

The LinearPotiBricklet::get_analog_value_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the position has changed since the last triggering.

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_position_reached_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u16>¶

Event:	position – Type: u16, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100]

Receivers created with this function receive Position Reached events.

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by LinearPotiBricklet::set_position_callback_threshold is reached. The received variable is the position of the linear potentiometer.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by LinearPotiBricklet::set_debounce_period.

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_analog_value_reached_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u16>¶

Event:	value – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Analog Value Reached events.

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by LinearPotiBricklet::set_analog_value_callback_threshold is reached. The received variable is the analog value of the linear potentiometer.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by LinearPotiBricklet::set_debounce_period.

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.

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_api_version(&self) → [u8; 3]¶

Return Object:	api_version – Type: [u8; 3] 0: major – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]

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.

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::get_response_expected(&mut self, function_id: u8) → bool¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: u8, Range: See constants
Returns:	response_expected – Type: bool

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 LinearPotiBricklet::set_response_expected. 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 function_id:

• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POSITION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 3
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POSITION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 7
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 11

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::set_response_expected(&mut self, function_id: u8, response_expected: bool) → ()¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: u8, Range: See constants response_expected – Type: bool

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 function_id:

• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POSITION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 3
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POSITION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 7
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9
• LINEAR_POTI_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 11

pub fn LinearPotiBricklet::set_response_expected_all(&mut self, response_expected: bool) → ()¶

Parameters:	response_expected – Type: bool

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.

Constants¶

pub const LinearPotiBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Linear Poti Bricklet.

The LinearPotiBricklet::get_identity function and the IpConnection::get_enumerate_callback_receiver callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

pub const LinearPotiBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Linear Poti Bricklet.
