Most functions of the C/C++ bindings return an error code (e_code
).
Data returned from the device, when a getter is called,
is handled via output parameters. These parameters are labeled with the
ret_
prefix.
Possible error codes are:
as defined in ip_connection.h
.
All functions listed below are thread-safe.

UV_LIGHT_V2_CALLBACK_UVI
callback and set the period with
uv_light_v2_set_uvi_callback_configuration()
.
If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the
UV_LIGHT_V2_CALLBACK_UVI
callback. You can set the callback configuration
with uv_light_v2_set_uvi_callback_configuration()

uv_light_v2_set_configuration
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t integration_time)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Sets the configuration of the sensor. The integration time can be configured between 50 and 800 ms. With a shorter integration time the sensor reading updates more often but contains more noise. With a longer integration the sensor reading contains less noise but updates less often.
With a longer integration time (especially 800 ms) and a higher UV intensity the sensor can be saturated. If this happens the UVA/UVB/UVI readings are all -1. In this case you need to choose a shorter integration time.
The following constants are available for this function:
For integration_time:
uv_light_v2_get_configuration
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t *ret_integration_time)¶Parameters: |

|
---|---|
Output Parameters: |
|
Returns: |
|
Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.
The errors are divided into
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.
uv_light_v2_set_status_led_config
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t config)¶Parameters: |

Returns: |
|
The period is the period with which the UV_LIGHT_V2_CALLBACK_UVA
callback is triggered
periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.
If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.
If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.
It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.
The option-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the UV_LIGHT_V2_CALLBACK_UVA
callback.
The following options are possible:
Option | Description |

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the
device. The registration is done with the uv_light_v2_register_callback()
function:
void my_callback(int value, void *user_data) { printf("Value: %d\n", value); } uv_light_v2_register_callback(&uv_light_v2, UV_LIGHT_V2_CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, (void (*)(void))my_callback, NULL);
The available constants with corresponding function signatures 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.

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.
uv_light_v2_get_api_version
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t ret_api_version[3])¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output Parameters: |
|
Returns: |
|
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.
uv_light_v2_get_response_expected
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output Parameters: |
|
Returns: |
|
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
uv_light_v2_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:
uv_light_v2_set_response_expected
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
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:
uv_light_v2_set_response_expected_all
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, bool response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.
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.
uv_light_v2_set_bootloader_mode
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t mode, uint8_t *ret_status)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output Parameters: |
|
Returns: |
|
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:
For ret_status:
uv_light_v2_get_bootloader_mode
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t *ret_mode)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|

(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint32_t pointer)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Sets the firmware pointer for uv_light_v2_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.
uv_light_v2_write_firmware
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint8_t data[64], uint8_t *ret_status)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output Parameters: |
|
Returns: |
|
Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by
uv_light_v2_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.
uv_light_v2_write_uid
(UVLightV2 *uv_light_v2, uint32_t uid)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
