Parameters:	config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	None

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:

BrickletOutdoorWeather.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
BrickletOutdoorWeather.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1

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¶

BrickletOutdoorWeather.register_callback(callback_id, function)¶

Parameters:	callback_id – Type: int function – Type: callable
Returns:	None

Registers the given function with the given callback_id.

The available callback IDs with corresponding function signatures are listed below.

BrickletOutdoorWeather.set_station_callback_configuration(enable_callback)¶

Parameters:	enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: False
Returns:	None

Turns callback for station data on or off.

BrickletOutdoorWeather.get_station_callback_configuration()¶

Returns:	enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: False

Returns the configuration as set by set_station_callback_configuration().

BrickletOutdoorWeather.set_sensor_callback_configuration(enable_callback)¶

Parameters:	enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: False
Returns:	None

Turns callback for sensor data on or off.

BrickletOutdoorWeather.get_sensor_callback_configuration()¶

Returns:	enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: False

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the register_callback() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function:

def my_callback(param):
    print(param)

outdoor_weather.register_callback(BrickletOutdoorWeather.CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, my_callback)

The available constants with inherent number and type of parameters are described below.

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.

BrickletOutdoorWeather.CALLBACK_STATION_DATA¶

For each sensor the callback will be called about every 45 seconds.

Turn the callback on/off with set_sensor_callback_configuration() (by default it is turned off).

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.

BrickletOutdoorWeather.get_api_version()¶

Return Object:	api_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]

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.

BrickletOutdoorWeather.get_response_expected(function_id)¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: int, 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 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:

BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_STATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 5
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 7
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_RESET = 243
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

BrickletOutdoorWeather.set_response_expected(function_id, response_expected)¶

Parameters:	function_id – Type: int, Range: See constants response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	None

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 function_id:

BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_STATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 5
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 7
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_RESET = 243
BrickletOutdoorWeather.FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

BrickletOutdoorWeather.set_response_expected_all(response_expected)¶

Parameters:	response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	None

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.

BrickletOutdoorWeather.set_bootloader_mode(mode)¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: int, Range: See constants

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:

BrickletOutdoorWeather.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
BrickletOutdoorWeather.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
