Modbus - Tilt Bricklet¶

Basic Functions¶

BrickletTilt.get_tilt_state¶

Function ID:	1
Request:	empty payload
Response:	state – Type: uint8, Range: See meanings

Returns the current tilt state. The state can either be

• 0 = Closed: The ball in the tilt switch closes the circuit.
• 1 = Open: The ball in the tilt switch does not close the circuit.
• 2 = Closed Vibrating: The tilt switch is in motion (rapid change between open and close).

The following meanings are defined for the elements of this function:

For state:

• 0 = Closed
• 1 = Open
• 2 = Closed Vibrating

Advanced Functions¶

BrickletTilt.get_identity¶

Function ID:	255
Request:	empty payload
Response:	uid – Type: char[8] connected_uid – Type: char[8] position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardware_version – Type: uint8[3] 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] firmware_version – Type: uint8[3] 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] device_identifier – Type: uint16, 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. 

Callback Configuration Functions¶

BrickletTilt.enable_tilt_state_callback¶

Function ID:	2
Request:	empty payload
Response:	no response

Enables the CALLBACK_TILT_STATE callback.

BrickletTilt.disable_tilt_state_callback¶

Function ID:	3
Request:	empty payload
Response:	no response

Disables the CALLBACK_TILT_STATE callback.

BrickletTilt.is_tilt_state_callback_enabled¶

Function ID:	4
Request:	empty payload
Response:	enabled – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns true if the CALLBACK_TILT_STATE callback is enabled.

Callbacks¶

BrickletTilt.CALLBACK_TILT_STATE¶

Function ID:	5
Response:	state – Type: uint8, Range: See meanings

This callback provides the current tilt state. It is called every time the state changes.

See get_tilt_state for a description of the states.

The following meanings are defined for the elements of this function:

For state:

• 0 = Closed
• 1 = Open
• 2 = Closed Vibrating
