Basic Functions¶

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

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	real_time_clock – Type: RealTimeClockBricklet

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

let real_time_clock = RealTimeClockBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::set_date_time(&self, year: u16, month: u8, day: u8, hour: u8, minute: u8, second: u8, centisecond: u8, weekday: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	year – Type: u16, Range: [2000 to 2099] month – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 12] day – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 31] hour – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 23] minute – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] second – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] centisecond – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 99] weekday – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Sets the current date (including weekday) and the current time.

If the backup battery is installed then the real-time clock keeps date and time even if the Bricklet is not powered by a Brick.

The real-time clock handles leap year and inserts the 29th of February accordingly. But leap seconds, time zones and daylight saving time are not handled.

The following constants are available for this function:

For weekday:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_MONDAY = 1
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_TUESDAY = 2
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_WEDNESDAY = 3
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_THURSDAY = 4
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_FRIDAY = 5
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SATURDAY = 6
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY = 7

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<DateTime>¶

Return Object:	year – Type: u16, Range: [2000 to 2099] month – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 12] day – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 31] hour – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 23] minute – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] second – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] centisecond – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 99] weekday – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Returns the current date (including weekday) and the current time of the real-time clock.

The following constants are available for this function:

For weekday:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_MONDAY = 1
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_TUESDAY = 2
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_WEDNESDAY = 3
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_THURSDAY = 4
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_FRIDAY = 5
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SATURDAY = 6
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY = 7

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::get_timestamp(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i64>¶

Returns:	timestamp – Type: i64, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [-263 to 263 - 1]

Returns the current date and the time of the real-time clock. The timestamp has an effective resolution of hundredths of a second and is an offset to 2000-01-01 00:00:00.000.

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::set_offset(&self, offset: i8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	offset – Type: i8, Unit: 217/100 ppm, Range: [-128 to 127]

Sets the offset the real-time clock should compensate for in 2.17 ppm steps between -277.76 ppm (-128) and +275.59 ppm (127).

The real-time clock time can deviate from the actual time due to the frequency deviation of its 32.768 kHz crystal. Even without compensation (factory default) the resulting time deviation should be at most ±20 ppm (±52.6 seconds per month).

This deviation can be calculated by comparing the same duration measured by the real-time clock (rtc_duration) an accurate reference clock (ref_duration).

For best results the configured offset should be set to 0 ppm first and then a duration of at least 6 hours should be measured.

The new offset (new_offset) can be calculated from the currently configured offset (current_offset) and the measured durations as follow:

new_offset = current_offset - round(1000000 * (rtc_duration - ref_duration) / rtc_duration / 2.17)

If you want to calculate the offset, then we recommend using the calibration dialog in Brick Viewer, instead of doing it manually.

The offset is saved in the EEPROM of the Bricklet and only needs to be configured once.

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::get_offset(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i8>¶

Returns:	offset – Type: i8, Unit: 217/100 ppm, Range: [-128 to 127]

Returns the offset as set by RealTimeClockBricklet::set_offset.

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::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.

Callback Configuration Functions¶

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::set_date_time_callback_period(&self, period: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	period – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0

Sets the period with which the RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time_callback_receiver callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

The RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time_callback_receiver Callback is only triggered if the date or time changed since the last triggering.

New in version 2.0.1 (Plugin).

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time_callback_period(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

Returns:	period – Type: u32, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the period as set by RealTimeClockBricklet::set_date_time_callback_period.

New in version 2.0.1 (Plugin).

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::set_alarm(&self, month: i8, day: i8, hour: i8, minute: i8, second: i8, weekday: i8, interval: i32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	month – Type: i8, Range: [-1, 1 to 12] with constants day – Type: i8, Range: [-1, 1 to 31] with constants hour – Type: i8, Range: [-1, 0 to 23] with constants minute – Type: i8, Range: [-1, 0 to 59] with constants second – Type: i8, Range: [-1, 0 to 59] with constants weekday – Type: i8, Range: [-1, 1 to 7] with constants interval – Type: i32, Unit: 1 s, Range: [-1, 1 to 231 - 1] with constants

Configures a repeatable alarm. The RealTimeClockBricklet::get_alarm_callback_receiver callback is triggered if the current date and time matches the configured alarm.

Setting a parameter to -1 means that it should be disabled and doesn't take part in the match. Setting all parameters to -1 disables the alarm completely.

For example, to make the alarm trigger every day at 7:30 AM it can be configured as (-1, -1, 7, 30, -1, -1, -1). The hour is set to match 7 and the minute is set to match 30. The alarm is triggered if all enabled parameters match.

The interval has a special role. It allows to make the alarm reconfigure itself. This is useful if you need a repeated alarm that cannot be expressed by matching the current date and time. For example, to make the alarm trigger every 23 seconds it can be configured as (-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 23). Internally the Bricklet will take the current date and time, add 23 seconds to it and set the result as its alarm. The first alarm will be triggered 23 seconds after the call. Because the interval is not -1, the Bricklet will do the same again internally, take the current date and time, add 23 seconds to it and set that as its alarm. This results in a repeated alarm that triggers every 23 seconds.

The interval can also be used in combination with the other parameters. For example, configuring the alarm as (-1, -1, 7, 30, -1, -1, 300) results in an alarm that triggers every day at 7:30 AM and is then repeated every 5 minutes.

The following constants are available for this function:

For month:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_ALARM_MATCH_DISABLED = -1

For day:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_ALARM_MATCH_DISABLED = -1

New in version 2.0.1 (Plugin).

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 RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<DateTimeEvent>¶

Event Object:	year – Type: u16, Range: [2000 to 2099] month – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 12] day – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 31] hour – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 23] minute – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] second – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] centisecond – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 99] weekday – Type: u8, Range: See constants timestamp – Type: i64, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [-263 to 263 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Date Time events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by RealTimeClockBricklet::set_date_time_callback_period. The members of the received struct are the same as for RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time and RealTimeClockBricklet::get_timestamp combined.

The RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the date or time changed since the last triggering.

The following constants are available for this function:

For weekday:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_MONDAY = 1
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_TUESDAY = 2
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_WEDNESDAY = 3
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_THURSDAY = 4
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_FRIDAY = 5
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SATURDAY = 6
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY = 7

New in version 2.0.1 (Plugin).

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::get_alarm_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<AlarmEvent>¶

Event Object:	year – Type: u16, Range: [2000 to 2099] month – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 12] day – Type: u8, Range: [1 to 31] hour – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 23] minute – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] second – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 59] centisecond – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 99] weekday – Type: u8, Range: See constants timestamp – Type: i64, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [-263 to 263 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Alarm events.

This callback is triggered every time the current date and time matches the configured alarm (see RealTimeClockBricklet::set_alarm). The members of the received struct are the same as for RealTimeClockBricklet::get_date_time and RealTimeClockBricklet::get_timestamp combined.

The following constants are available for this function:

For weekday:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_MONDAY = 1
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_TUESDAY = 2
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_WEDNESDAY = 3
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_THURSDAY = 4
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_FRIDAY = 5
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SATURDAY = 6
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY = 7

New in version 2.0.1 (Plugin).

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 RealTimeClockBricklet::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 RealTimeClockBricklet::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 RealTimeClockBricklet::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:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DATE_TIME = 1
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_OFFSET = 4
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DATE_TIME_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 6
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ALARM = 8

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::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:

• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DATE_TIME = 1
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_OFFSET = 4
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DATE_TIME_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 6
• REAL_TIME_CLOCK_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ALARM = 8

pub fn RealTimeClockBricklet::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 RealTimeClockBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Real-Time Clock Bricklet.

The RealTimeClockBricklet::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 RealTimeClockBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Real-Time Clock Bricklet.
