Basic Functions¶

request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_beep¶

Request:	frequency – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [50 to 15000] volume – Type: int, Range: [0 to 10] duration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] with symbols
Response:	no response

Beeps with the given frequency and volume for the duration.

A duration of 0 stops the current beep if any is ongoing. A duration of 4294967295 results in an infinite beep.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For duration:

• "off" = 0
• "infinite" = 4294967295

request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_beep¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	frequency – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [50 to 15000] volume – Type: int, Range: [0 to 10] duration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] with symbols duration_remaining – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the last beep settings as set by request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_beep. If a beep is currently running it also returns the remaining duration of the beep.

If the frequency or volume is updated during a beep (with request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/update_frequency or request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/update_volume) this function returns the updated value.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For duration:

• "off" = 0
• "infinite" = 4294967295

request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_alarm¶

Request:	start_frequency – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [50 to 14999] end_frequency – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [51 to 15000] step_size – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [0 to 14950] step_delay – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] volume – Type: int, Range: [0 to 10] duration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] with symbols
Response:	no response

Creates an alarm (a tone that goes back and force between two specified frequencies).

The following parameters can be set:

• Start Frequency: Start frequency of the alarm.
• End Frequency: End frequency of the alarm.
• Step Size: Size of one step of the sweep between the start/end frequencies.
• Step Delay: Delay between two steps (duration of time that one tone is used in a sweep).
• Duration: Duration of the alarm.

A duration of 0 stops the current alarm if any is ongoing. A duration of 4294967295 results in an infinite alarm.

Below you can find two sets of example settings that you can try out. You can use these as a starting point to find an alarm signal that suits your application.

Example 1: 10 seconds of loud annoying fast alarm

• Start Frequency = 800
• End Frequency = 2000
• Step Size = 10
• Step Delay = 1
• Volume = 10
• Duration = 10000

Example 2: 10 seconds of soft siren sound with slow build-up

• Start Frequency = 250
• End Frequency = 750
• Step Size = 1
• Step Delay = 5
• Volume = 0
• Duration = 10000

The following conditions must be met:

• Start Frequency: has to be smaller than end frequency
• End Frequency: has to be bigger than start frequency
• Step Size: has to be small enough to fit into the frequency range
• Step Delay: has to be small enough to fit into the duration

The following symbols are available for this function:

For duration:

• "off" = 0
• "infinite" = 4294967295

request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_alarm¶

Request:

Response:

start_frequency – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [50 to 14999] end_frequency – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [51 to 15000] step_size – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [50 to 14950] step_delay – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] volume – Type: int, Range: [0 to 10] duration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] with symbols duration_remaining – Type: int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] with symbols current_frequency – Type: int, Unit: 1 Hz, Range: [50 to 15000]

Returns the last alarm settings as set by request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_alarm. If an alarm is currently running it also returns the remaining duration of the alarm as well as the current frequency of the alarm.

If the volume is updated during an alarm (with request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/update_volume) this function returns the updated value.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For duration:

• "off" = 0
• "infinite" = 4294967295

For duration_remaining:

• "off" = 0
• "infinite" = 4294967295

request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/update_volume¶

Request:	volume – Type: int, Range: [0 to 10]
Response:	no response

Updates the volume of an ongoing beep or alarm.

request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/update_frequency¶

Updates the frequency of an ongoing beep.

Advanced Functions¶

request/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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 Piezo Speaker 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/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/beep_finished¶

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

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/beep_finished[/<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/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/beep_finished[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is triggered if a beep set by request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_beep is finished

register/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/alarm_finished¶

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

A callback can be registered for this event by publishing to the .../register/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/alarm_finished[/<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/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/alarm_finished[/<SUFFIX>] topic for each registered suffix.

This callback is triggered if a alarm set by request/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/set_alarm is finished

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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_v2_bricklet/<UID>/get_bootloader_mode¶

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

Returns the current bootloader mode, see request/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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/piezo_speaker_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.
