LabVIEW - Remote Switch Bricklet 2.0¶

This is the description of the LabVIEW API bindings for the Remote Switch Bricklet 2.0. General information and technical specifications for the Remote Switch Bricklet 2.0 are summarized in its hardware description.

An installation guide for the LabVIEW API bindings is part of their general description.

Examples¶

The example code below is Public Domain (CC0 1.0).

Switch Socket¶

API¶

Generally, every function of the LabVIEW bindings that outputs a value can report a Tinkerforge.TimeoutException. This error gets reported if the device did not respond. If a cable based connection is used, it is unlikely that this exception gets thrown (assuming nobody plugs the device out). However, if a wireless connection is used, timeouts will occur if the distance to the device gets too big.

The namespace for all Brick/Bricklet bindings and the IPConnection is Tinkerforge.*.

Basic Functions¶

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2(uid, ipcon) → remoteSwitchV2¶

Input:	uid – Type: String ipcon – Type: .NET Refnum (IPConnection)
Output:	remoteSwitchV2 – Type: .NET Refnum (BrickletRemoteSwitchV2)

Advanced Functions¶

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SetRepeats(repeats)¶

Input:	repeats – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 5

Sets the number of times the code is sent when one of the Switch Socket functions is called. The repeats basically correspond to the amount of time that a button of the remote is pressed.

Some dimmers are controlled by the length of a button pressed, this can be simulated by increasing the repeats.

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.GetRepeats() → repeats¶

Output:	repeats – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 5

Returns the number of repeats as set by SetRepeats().

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.GetSPITFPErrorCount() → errorCountAckChecksum, errorCountMessageChecksum, errorCountFrame, errorCountOverflow¶

Output:	errorCountAckChecksum – Type: Int64, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountMessageChecksum – Type: Int64, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountFrame – Type: Int64, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountOverflow – Type: Int64, 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.

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SetStatusLEDConfig(config)¶

Input:	config – Type: Byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

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:

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.GetChipTemperature() → temperature¶

Output:	temperature – Type: Int16, 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.

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.Reset()¶

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!

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.GetIdentity() → uid, connectedUid, position, hardwareVersion, firmwareVersion, deviceIdentifier¶

Output:

Output:	uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 connectedUid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 position – Type: Char, Range: ["a" to "h", "z"] hardwareVersion – Type: Byte[3] 0: major – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] firmwareVersion – Type: Byte[3] 0: major – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] deviceIdentifier – Type: Int32, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

2: revision – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255]

deviceIdentifier – Type: Int32, 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.

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done by assigning a function to a callback property of the device object. The available callback property and their 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.

event BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SwitchingDoneCallback → sender¶

Callback Output:	sender – Type: .NET Refnum (BrickletRemoteSwitchV2)

This callback is triggered whenever the switching state changes from busy to ready, see GetSwitchingState().

event BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.RemoteStatusACallback → sender, houseCode, receiverCode, switchTo, repeats¶

Callback Output:	sender – Type: .NET Refnum (BrickletRemoteSwitchV2) houseCode – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 31] receiverCode – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 31] switchTo – Type: Byte, Range: See constants repeats – Type: Int32, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

Returns the house code, receiver code, switch state (on/off) and number of repeats for remote type A.

The repeats are the number of received identical data packets. The longer the button is pressed, the higher the repeat number. The callback is triggered with every repeat.

You have to enable the callback with SetRemoteConfiguration(). The number of repeats that you can set in the configuration is the minimum number of repeats that have to be seen before the callback is triggered for the first time.

The following constants are available for this function:

For switchTo:

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SWITCH_TO_OFF = 0
BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SWITCH_TO_ON = 1

event BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.RemoteStatusBCallback → sender, address, unit, switchTo, dimValue, repeats¶

Returns the address (unique per remote), unit (button number), switch state (on/off) and number of repeats for remote type B.

If the remote supports dimming the dim value is used instead of the switch state.

The repeats are the number of received identical data packets. The longer the button is pressed, the higher the repeat number. The callback is triggered with every repeat.

The following constants are available for this function:

For switchTo:

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SWITCH_TO_OFF = 0
BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SWITCH_TO_ON = 1

event BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.RemoteStatusCCallback → sender, systemCode, deviceCode, switchTo, repeats¶

For switchTo:

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SWITCH_TO_OFF = 0
BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.SWITCH_TO_ON = 1

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.

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.GetAPIVersion() → apiVersion¶

Output:	apiVersion – Type: Byte[3] 0: major – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: Byte, 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.

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.GetResponseExpected(functionId) → responseExpected¶

Input:	functionId – Type: Byte, Range: See constants
Output:	responseExpected – Type: Boolean

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 functionId:

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.FUNCTION_SET_REPEATS = 3

Input:	responseExpected – Type: Boolean

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.

Input:	mode – Type: Byte, Range: See constants
Output:	status – Type: Byte, 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:

Input:	pointer – Type: Int64, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for WriteFirmware(). 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.

BrickletRemoteSwitchV2.WriteFirmware(data) → status¶

Input:	data – Type: Byte[64], Range: [0 to 255]
Output:	status – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255]
