This is the description of the PHP API bindings for the Piezo Buzzer Bricklet. General information and technical specifications for the Piezo Buzzer Bricklet are summarized in its hardware description.
An installation guide for the PHP API bindings is part of their general description.

Functions that return multiple values return them in an associative array.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer
(string $uid, IPConnection $ipcon)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Creates an object with the unique device ID $uid
:
<?php $piezo_buzzer = new BrickletPiezoBuzzer('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', $ipcon); ?>
This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
beep
(int $duration)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Beeps for the given duration.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
morseCode
(string $morse)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Sets morse code that will be played by the piezo buzzer. The morse code is given as a string consisting of "." (dot), "-" (minus) and " " (space) for dits, dahs and pauses. Every other character is ignored.
For example: If you set the string "...---...", the piezo buzzer will beep nine times with the durations "short short short long long long short short short".
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
getIdentity
()¶Return Array: |
|
---|
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.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
registerCallback
(int $callback_id, callable $callback, mixed $user_data=NULL)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Registers the given $function
with the given $callback_id
. The optional
$user_data
will be passed as the last parameter to the function.
The available callback IDs with corresponding function signatures are listed below.
Callbacks can be registered to receive
time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done
with the registerCallback()
function of
the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second
parameter the callback function:
<?php
function myCallback($param)
{
echo $param . "\n";
}
$piezo_buzzer->registerCallback(BrickletPiezoBuzzer::CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, 'myCallback');
?>
The available constants with corresponding function signatures 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.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
CALLBACK_BEEP_FINISHED
¶<?php void callback([mixed $user_data]) ?>
Callback Parameters: |
|
---|
This callback is triggered if a beep set by beep()
is finished
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
CALLBACK_MORSE_CODE_FINISHED
¶<?php void callback([mixed $user_data]) ?>
Callback Parameters: |
|
---|
This callback is triggered if the playback of the morse code set by
morseCode()
is finished.
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.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
getAPIVersion
()¶Return Array: |
|
---|
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.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
getResponseExpected
(int $function_id)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
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 $function_id:
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
setResponseExpected
(int $function_id, bool $response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
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:
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
setResponseExpectedAll
(bool $response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
DEVICE_IDENTIFIER
¶This constant is used to identify a Piezo Buzzer Bricklet.
The getIdentity()
function and the
IPConnection::CALLBACK_ENUMERATE
callback of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier
parameter to specify
the Brick's or Bricklet's type.
BrickletPiezoBuzzer::
DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME
¶This constant represents the human readable name of a Piezo Buzzer Bricklet.
