Basic Functions¶

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_motion_detected¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	motion – Type: int, Range: See symbols

Returns 1 if a motion was detected. It returns 1 approx. for 1.8 seconds until the sensor checks for a new movement.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For motion:

• "not_detected" = 0
• "detected" = 1

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_sensitivity¶

Request:	sensitivity – Type: int, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 50
Response:	no response

Sets the sensitivity of the PIR sensor. At full sensitivity (100), the Bricklet can detect motion in a range of approximately 12m.

The actual range depends on many things in the environment (e.g. reflections) and the size of the object to be detected. While a big person might be detected in a range of 10m a cat may only be detected at 2m distance with the same setting.

So you will have to find a good sensitivity for your application by trial and error.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_sensitivity¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	sensitivity – Type: int, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 50

Returns the sensitivity as set by request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_sensitivity.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_indicator¶

Request:	top_left – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 top_right – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 bottom – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0
Response:	no response

Sets the blue backlight of the fresnel lens. The backlight consists of three LEDs. The brightness of each LED can be controlled with a 8-bit value (0-255). A value of 0 turns the LED off and a value of 255 turns the LED to full brightness.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_indicator¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	top_left – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 top_right – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 bottom – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0

Returns the indicator configuration as set by request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_indicator.

Advanced Functions¶

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_spitfp_error_count¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	error_count_ack_checksum – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_message_checksum – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_frame – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_overflow – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_status_led_config¶

Request:	config – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3
Response:	no response

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 symbols are available for this function:

For config:

• "off" = 0
• "on" = 1
• "show_heartbeat" = 2
• "show_status" = 3

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_status_led_config¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	config – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_status_led_config

The following symbols are available for this function:

For config:

• "off" = 0
• "on" = 1
• "show_heartbeat" = 2
• "show_status" = 3

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_chip_temperature¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]

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.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/reset¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	no response

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!

request/motion_detector_v2_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 Motion Detector 2.0's name in a human readable form.

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/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/motion_detected¶

Register Request:	register – Type: bool
Callback Response:	empty payload

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/motion_detected[/<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/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/motion_detected[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is called after a motion was detected.

register/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/detection_cycle_ended¶

Register Request:	register – Type: bool
Callback Response:	empty payload

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/detection_cycle_ended[/<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/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/detection_cycle_ended[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is called when the detection cycle ended. When this callback is called, a new motion can be detected again after approximately 2 seconds.

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.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_bootloader_mode¶

Request:	mode – Type: int, Range: See symbols
Response:	status – Type: int, Range: See symbols

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 symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

• "bootloader" = 0
• "firmware" = 1
• "bootloader_wait_for_reboot" = 2
• "firmware_wait_for_reboot" = 3
• "firmware_wait_for_erase_and_reboot" = 4

For status:

• "ok" = 0
• "invalid_mode" = 1
• "no_change" = 2
• "entry_function_not_present" = 3
• "device_identifier_incorrect" = 4
• "crc_mismatch" = 5

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_bootloader_mode¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	mode – Type: int, Range: See symbols

Returns the current bootloader mode, see request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_bootloader_mode.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

• "bootloader" = 0
• "firmware" = 1
• "bootloader_wait_for_reboot" = 2
• "firmware_wait_for_reboot" = 3
• "firmware_wait_for_erase_and_reboot" = 4

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_write_firmware_pointer¶

Request:	pointer – Type: int, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Response:	no response

Sets the firmware pointer for request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/write_firmware. 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.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/write_firmware¶

Request:	data – Type: [int, ...], Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Response:	status – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_write_firmware_pointer 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.

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/write_uid¶

Request:	uid – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Response:	no response

Writes a new UID into flash. If you want to set a new UID you have to decode the Base58 encoded UID string into an integer first.

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

request/motion_detector_v2_bricklet/<UID>/read_uid¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	uid – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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