Basic Functions¶

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::new(uid: &str, ip_connection: &IpConnection) → SilentStepperV2Bricklet¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	silent_stepper_v2 – Type: SilentStepperV2Bricklet

Creates a new SilentStepperV2Bricklet object with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ip_connection:

let silent_stepper_v2 = SilentStepperV2Bricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_max_velocity(&self, velocity: u16) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	velocity – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Sets the maximum velocity of the stepper motor. This function does not start the motor, it merely sets the maximum velocity the stepper motor is accelerated to. To get the motor running use either SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_target_position, SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps, SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_forward or SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_backward.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_max_velocity(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	velocity – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the velocity as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_max_velocity.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_current_velocity(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	velocity – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the current velocity of the stepper motor.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping(&self, acceleration: u16, deacceleration: u16) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	acceleration – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s², Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1000 deacceleration – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s², Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1000

Sets the acceleration and deacceleration of the stepper motor. An acceleration of 1000 means, that every second the velocity is increased by 1000 steps/s.

For example: If the current velocity is 0 and you want to accelerate to a velocity of 8000 steps/s in 10 seconds, you should set an acceleration of 800 steps/s².

An acceleration/deacceleration of 0 means instantaneous acceleration/deacceleration (not recommended)

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_speed_ramping(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<SpeedRamping>¶

Return Object:	acceleration – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s², Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1000 deacceleration – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s², Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1000

Returns the acceleration and deacceleration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::full_brake(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Executes an active full brake.

Warning

This function is for emergency purposes, where an immediate brake is necessary. Depending on the current velocity and the strength of the motor, a full brake can be quite violent.

Call SilentStepperV2Bricklet::stop if you just want to stop the motor.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps(&self, steps: i32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	steps – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Sets the number of steps the stepper motor should run. Positive values will drive the motor forward and negative values backward. The velocity, acceleration and deacceleration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_max_velocity and SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping will be used.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_steps(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i32>¶

Returns:	steps – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Returns the last steps as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_remaining_steps(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i32>¶

Returns:	steps – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Returns the remaining steps of the last call of SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps. For example, if SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps is called with 2000 and SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_remaining_steps is called after the motor has run for 500 steps, it will return 1500.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_forward(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Drives the stepper motor forward until SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_backward or SilentStepperV2Bricklet::stop is called. The velocity, acceleration and deacceleration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_max_velocity and SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping will be used.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_backward(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Drives the stepper motor backward until SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_forward or SilentStepperV2Bricklet::stop is triggered. The velocity, acceleration and deacceleration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_max_velocity and SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping will be used.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::stop(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Stops the stepper motor with the deacceleration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_motor_current(&self, current: u16) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	current – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [360 to 1640], Default: 800

Sets the current with which the motor will be driven.

Warning

Do not set this value above the specifications of your stepper motor. Otherwise it may damage your motor.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_motor_current(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	current – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [360 to 1640], Default: 800

Returns the current as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_motor_current.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_enabled(&self, enabled: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	enabled – Type: bool, Default: false

Enables/Disables the driver chip. The driver parameters can be configured (maximum velocity, acceleration, etc) before it is enabled.

Warning

Disabling the driver chip while the motor is still turning can damage the driver chip. The motor should be stopped calling SilentStepperV2Bricklet::stop function before disabling the motor power. The SilentStepperV2Bricklet::stop function will not wait until the motor is actually stopped. You have to explicitly wait for the appropriate time after calling the SilentStepperV2Bricklet::stop function before calling the SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_enabled with false function.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_enabled(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<bool>¶

Returns:	enabled – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns true if the stepper driver is enabled, false otherwise.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_basic_configuration(&self, standstill_current: u16, motor_run_current: u16, standstill_delay_time: u16, power_down_time: u16, stealth_threshold: u16, coolstep_threshold: u16, classic_threshold: u16, high_velocity_chopper_mode: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:

standstill_current – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 200 motor_run_current – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 800 standstill_delay_time – Type: u16, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 307], Default: 0 power_down_time – Type: u16, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 5222], Default: 1000 stealth_threshold – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 500 coolstep_threshold – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 500 classic_threshold – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1000 high_velocity_chopper_mode – Type: bool, Default: false

Sets the basic configuration parameters for the different modes (Stealth, Coolstep, Classic).

• Standstill Current: This value can be used to lower the current during stand still. This might be reasonable to reduce the heating of the motor and the Bricklet 2.0. When the motor is in standstill the configured motor phase current will be driven until the configured Power Down Time is elapsed. After that the phase current will be reduced to the standstill current. The elapsed time for this reduction can be configured with the Standstill Delay Time. The maximum allowed value is the configured maximum motor current (see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_motor_current).
• Motor Run Current: The value sets the motor current when the motor is running. Use a value of at least one half of the global maximum motor current for a good microstep performance. The maximum allowed value is the current motor current. The API maps the entered value to 1/32 ... 32/32 of the maximum motor current. This value should be used to change the motor current during motor movement, whereas the global maximum motor current should not be changed while the motor is moving (see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_motor_current).
• Standstill Delay Time: Controls the duration for motor power down after a motion as soon as standstill is detected and the Power Down Time is expired. A high Standstill Delay Time results in a smooth transition that avoids motor jerk during power down.
• Power Down Time: Sets the delay time after a stand still.
• Stealth Threshold: Sets the upper threshold for Stealth mode. If the velocity of the motor goes above this value, Stealth mode is turned off. Otherwise it is turned on. In Stealth mode the torque declines with high speed.
• Coolstep Threshold: Sets the lower threshold for Coolstep mode. The Coolstep Threshold needs to be above the Stealth Threshold.
• Classic Threshold: Sets the lower threshold for classic mode. In classic mode the stepper becomes more noisy, but the torque is maximized.
• High Velocity Chopper Mode: If High Velocity Chopper Mode is enabled, the stepper control is optimized to run the stepper motors at high velocities.

If you want to use all three thresholds make sure that Stealth Threshold < Coolstep Threshold < Classic Threshold.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_basic_configuration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<BasicConfiguration>¶

Return Object:

standstill_current – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 200 motor_run_current – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 800 standstill_delay_time – Type: u16, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 307], Default: 0 power_down_time – Type: u16, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 5222], Default: 1000 stealth_threshold – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 500 coolstep_threshold – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 500 classic_threshold – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 1000 high_velocity_chopper_mode – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns the configuration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_basic_configuration.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_gpio_configuration(&self, channel: u8, debounce: u16, stop_deceleration: u16) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	channel – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 1] debounce – Type: u16, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 200 stop_deceleration – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s², Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 216 - 1

Sets the GPIO configuration for the given channel. You can configure a debounce and the deceleration that is used if the action is configured as normal stop. See SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_gpio_action.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_gpio_configuration(&self, channel: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<GpioConfiguration>¶

Parameters:	channel – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 1] action – Type: u32, Range: See constants, Default: 0

Sets the GPIO action for the given channel.

The action can be a normal stop, a full brake or a callback. Each for a rising edge or falling edge. The actions are a bitmask they can be used at the same time. You can for example trigger a full brake and a callback at the same time or for rising and falling edge.

The deceleration speed for the normal stop can be configured with SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_gpio_configuration.

The following constants are available for this function:

For action:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_NONE = 0
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_NORMAL_STOP_RISING_EDGE = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_NORMAL_STOP_FALLING_EDGE = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_FULL_BRAKE_RISING_EDGE = 4
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_FULL_BRAKE_FALLING_EDGE = 8
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_CALLBACK_RISING_EDGE = 16
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_CALLBACK_FALLING_EDGE = 32

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_gpio_action(&self, channel: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

The following constants are available for this function:

For action:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_NONE = 0
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_NORMAL_STOP_RISING_EDGE = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_GPIO_ACTION_NORMAL_STOP_FALLING_EDGE = 2

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_gpio_state(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<[bool; 2]>¶

Returns:	gpio_state – Type: [bool; 2]

Returns the GPIO state for both channels. True if the state is high and false if the state is low.

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_current_position(&self, position: i32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	position – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Sets the current steps of the internal step counter. This can be used to set the current position to 0 when some kind of starting position is reached (e.g. when a CNC machine reaches a corner).

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_current_position(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i32>¶

Returns:	position – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Returns the current position of the stepper motor in steps. On startup the position is 0. The steps are counted with all possible driving functions (SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_target_position, SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps, SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_forward or SilentStepperV2Bricklet::drive_backward). It also is possible to reset the steps to 0 or set them to any other desired value with SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_current_position.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_target_position(&self, position: i32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	position – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Sets the target position of the stepper motor in steps. For example, if the current position of the motor is 500 and SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_target_position is called with 1000, the stepper motor will drive 500 steps forward. It will use the velocity, acceleration and deacceleration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_max_velocity and SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping.

A call of SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_target_position with the parameter x is equivalent to a call of SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps with the parameter (x - SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_current_position).

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_target_position(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i32>¶

Returns:	position – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Returns the last target position as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_target_position.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_step_configuration(&self, step_resolution: u8, interpolation: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	step_resolution – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 0 interpolation – Type: bool, Default: true

Sets the step resolution from full-step up to 1/256-step.

If interpolation is turned on, the Silent Stepper Bricklet 2.0 will always interpolate your step inputs as 1/256-step. If you use full-step mode with interpolation, each step will generate 256 1/256 steps.

For maximum torque use full-step without interpolation. For maximum resolution use 1/256-step. Turn interpolation on to make the Stepper driving less noisy.

If you often change the speed with high acceleration you should turn the interpolation off.

The following constants are available for this function:

For step_resolution:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_1 = 8
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_2 = 7
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_4 = 6
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_8 = 5
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_16 = 4
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_32 = 3
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_64 = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_128 = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_256 = 0

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_step_configuration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<StepConfiguration>¶

Return Object:	step_resolution – Type: u8, Range: See constants interpolation – Type: bool, Default: true

Returns the step mode as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_step_configuration.

The following constants are available for this function:

For step_resolution:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_1 = 8
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_2 = 7
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_4 = 6
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_8 = 5
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_16 = 4
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_32 = 3
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_64 = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_128 = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STEP_RESOLUTION_256 = 0

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_input_voltage(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	voltage – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the external input voltage. The external input voltage is given via the black power input connector on the Silent Stepper Bricklet 2.0.

If there is an external input voltage and a stack input voltage, the motor will be driven by the external input voltage. If there is only a stack voltage present, the motor will be driven by this voltage.

Sets the Spreadcycle configuration parameters. Spreadcycle is a chopper algorithm which actively controls the motor current flow. More information can be found in the TMC2130 datasheet on page 47 (7 spreadCycle and Classic Chopper).

• Slow Decay Duration: Controls duration of off time setting of slow decay phase. 0 = driver disabled, all bridges off. Use 1 only with Comparator Blank time >= 2.

• Enable Random Slow Decay: Set to false to fix chopper off time as set by Slow Decay Duration. If you set it to true, Decay Duration is randomly modulated.

• Fast Decay Duration: Sets the fast decay duration. This parameters is only used if the Chopper Mode is set to Fast Decay.

• Hysteresis Start Value: Sets the hysteresis start value. This parameter is only used if the Chopper Mode is set to Spread Cycle.

• Hysteresis End Value: Sets the hysteresis end value. This parameter is only used if the Chopper Mode is set to Spread Cycle.

• Sine Wave Offset: Sets the sine wave offset. This parameters is only used if the Chopper Mode is set to Fast Decay. 1/512 of the value becomes added to the absolute value of the sine wave.

• Current Down Step Width: Sets the down step decrement per Stallguard value. The value range is 0-3, corresponding to the decrements 1, 2, 8 and 16.
• Minimum Current: Sets the minimum current for Coolstep current control. You can choose between half and quarter of the run current.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_error_led_config(&self, config: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	config – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Configures the error LED to be either turned off, turned on, blink in heartbeat mode or show an error.

If the LED is configured to show errors it has three different states:

• Off: No error present.
• 250ms interval blink: Overtemperature warning.
• 1s interval blink: Input voltage too small.
• full red: motor disabled because of short to ground in phase a or b or because of overtemperature.

Returns:	config – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the LED configuration as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_error_led_config

The following constants are available for this function:

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_driver_status(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<DriverStatus>¶

Return Object:	open_load – Type: u8, Range: See constants short_to_ground – Type: u8, Range: See constants over_temperature – Type: u8, Range: See constants motor_stalled – Type: bool actual_motor_current – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 31] full_step_active – Type: bool stallguard_result – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255] stealth_voltage_amplitude – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]

Returns the current driver status.

• Open Load: Indicates if an open load is present on phase A, B or both. This could mean that there is a problem with the wiring of the motor. False detection can occur in fast motion as well as during stand still.
• Short To Ground: Indicates if a short to ground is present on phase A, B or both. If this is detected the driver automatically becomes disabled and stays disabled until it is enabled again manually.
• Over Temperature: The over temperature indicator switches to "Warning" if the driver IC warms up. The warning flag is expected during long duration stepper uses. If the temperature limit is reached the indicator switches to "Limit". In this case the driver becomes disabled until it cools down again.
• Motor Stalled: Is true if a motor stall was detected.
• Actual Motor Current: Indicates the actual current control scaling as used in Coolstep mode. It represents a multiplier of 1/32 to 32/32 of the Motor Run Current as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_basic_configuration. Example: If a Motor Run Current of 1000mA was set and the returned value is 15, the Actual Motor Current is 16/32*1000mA = 500mA.
• Stallguard Result: Indicates the load of the motor. A lower value signals a higher load. Per trial and error you can find out which value corresponds to a suitable torque for the velocity used in your application. After that you can use this threshold value to find out if a motor stall becomes probable and react on it (e.g. decrease velocity). During stand still this value can not be used for stall detection, it shows the chopper on-time for motor coil A.
• Stealth Voltage Amplitude: Shows the actual PWM scaling. In Stealth mode it can be used to detect motor load and stall if autoscale is enabled (see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_stealth_configuration).

The following constants are available for this function:

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

Sets the time base of the velocity and the acceleration of the Silent Stepper Bricklet 2.0.

For example, if you want to make one step every 1.5 seconds, you can set the time base to 15 and the velocity to 10. Now the velocity is 10steps/15s = 1steps/1.5s.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_time_base(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

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

Returns the following parameters: The current velocity, the current position, the remaining steps, the stack voltage, the external voltage and the current consumption of the stepper motor.

The current consumption is calculated by multiplying the Actual Motor Current value (see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_basic_configuration) with the Motor Run Current (see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_driver_status). This is an internal calculation of the driver, not an independent external measurement.

The current consumption calculation was broken up to firmware 2.0.1, it is fixed since firmware 2.0.2.

There is also a callback for this function, see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_all_data_callback_receiver callback.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_spitfp_error_count(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<SpitfpErrorCount>¶

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.

Parameters:	config – Type: u8, 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.

Returns:	temperature – Type: i16, 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.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::reset(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

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!

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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]

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.

Sets the minimum voltage, below which the SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_under_voltage_callback_receiver callback is triggered. The minimum possible value that works with the Silent Stepper Bricklet 2.0 is 8V. You can use this function to detect the discharge of a battery that is used to drive the stepper motor. If you have a fixed power supply, you likely do not need this functionality.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_minimum_voltage(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	voltage – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 8000

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_all_callback_configuration(&self, period: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

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

Sets the period with which the SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_all_data_callback_receiver callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_all_data_callback_configuraton(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

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

Returns the period as set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_all_callback_configuration.

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 SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_under_voltage_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u16>¶

Event:	voltage – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Under Voltage events.

This callback is triggered when the input voltage drops below the value set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_minimum_voltage. The received variable is the current voltage.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_position_reached_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<i32>¶

Event:	position – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Position Reached events.

This callback is triggered when a position set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_steps or SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_target_position is reached.

Note

Since we can't get any feedback from the stepper motor, this only works if the acceleration (see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_speed_ramping) is set smaller or equal to the maximum acceleration of the motor. Otherwise the motor will lag behind the control value and the callback will be triggered too early.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_all_data_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<AllDataEvent>¶

Event Object:	current_velocity – Type: u16, Unit: 1 1/s, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] current_position – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] remaining_steps – Type: i32, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1] input_voltage – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] current_consumption – Type: u16, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive All Data events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_all_callback_configuration. The members of the received struct are: the current velocity, the current position, the remaining steps, the stack voltage, the external voltage and the current consumption of the stepper motor.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_new_state_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<NewStateEvent>¶

Event Object:	state_new – Type: u8, Range: See constants state_previous – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Receivers created with this function receive New State events.

This callback is triggered whenever the Silent Stepper Bricklet 2.0 enters a new state. It returns the new state as well as the previous state.

The following constants are available for this function:

For state_new:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_STOP = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_ACCELERATION = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_RUN = 3
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_DEACCELERATION = 4
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_DIRECTION_CHANGE_TO_FORWARD = 5
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_DIRECTION_CHANGE_TO_BACKWARD = 6

For state_previous:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_STOP = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_ACCELERATION = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_RUN = 3
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_DEACCELERATION = 4
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_DIRECTION_CHANGE_TO_FORWARD = 5
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_STATE_DIRECTION_CHANGE_TO_BACKWARD = 6

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_gpio_state_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<[bool; 2]>¶

Event:	gpio_state – Type: [bool; 2]

Receivers created with this function receive GPIO State events.

This callback is triggered by GPIO changes if it is activated through SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_gpio_action.

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 SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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 SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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 SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_MAX_VELOCITY = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_SPEED_RAMPING = 4

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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.

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.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_bootloader_mode(&self, mode: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: u8, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: u8, 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:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::get_bootloader_mode(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Returns:	mode – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_bootloader_mode.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
• SILENT_STEPPER_V2_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::set_write_firmware_pointer(&self, pointer: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	pointer – Type: u32, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::write_firmware(&self, data: [u8; 64]) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Parameters:	data – Type: [u8; 64], Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	status – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::write_uid(&self, uid: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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.

pub fn SilentStepperV2Bricklet::read_uid(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

Returns:	uid – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.

Constants¶

pub const SilentStepperV2Bricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Silent Stepper Bricklet 2.0.

The SilentStepperV2Bricklet::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 SilentStepperV2Bricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Silent Stepper Bricklet 2.0.
