Basic Functions¶

void uv_light_create(UVLight *uv_light, const char *uid, IPConnection *ipcon)¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight * uid – Type: const char * ipcon – Type: IPConnection *

Creates the device object uv_light with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ipcon:

UVLight uv_light;
uv_light_create(&uv_light, "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon);

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

void uv_light_destroy(UVLight *uv_light)¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight *

Removes the device object uv_light from its IPConnection and destroys it. The device object cannot be used anymore afterwards.

int uv_light_get_uv_light(UVLight *uv_light, uint32_t *ret_uv_light)¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight *
Output Parameters:	ret_uv_light – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1/10 mW/m², Range: [0 to 3280]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the UV light intensity of the sensor. The sensor has already weighted the intensity with the erythemal action spectrum to get the skin-affecting irradiation.

To get UV index you just have to divide the value by 250. For example, a UV light intensity of 500 is equivalent to an UV index of 2.

If you want to get the intensity periodically, it is recommended to use the UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_UV_LIGHT callback and set the period with uv_light_set_uv_light_callback_period().

Advanced Functions¶

int uv_light_get_identity(UVLight *uv_light, char ret_uid[8], char ret_connected_uid[8], char *ret_position, uint8_t ret_hardware_version[3], uint8_t ret_firmware_version[3], uint16_t *ret_device_identifier)¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight *
Output Parameters:	ret_uid – Type: char[8] ret_connected_uid – Type: char[8] ret_position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] ret_hardware_version – Type: uint8_t[3] 0: major – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] ret_firmware_version – Type: uint8_t[3] 0: major – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] ret_device_identifier – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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¶

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the uv_light_register_callback() function:

void my_callback(int value, void *user_data) {
    printf("Value: %d\n", value);
}

uv_light_register_callback(&uv_light,
                           UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_EXAMPLE,
                           (void (*)(void))my_callback,
                           NULL);

The available constants with corresponding function signatures are described below.

UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_UV_LIGHT¶

void callback(uint32_t uv_light, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	uv_light – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1/10 mW/m², Range: [0 to 32800000] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by uv_light_set_uv_light_callback_period(). The parameter is the UV Light intensity of the sensor.

The UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_UV_LIGHT callback is only triggered if the intensity has changed since the last triggering.

UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_UV_LIGHT_REACHED¶

void callback(uint32_t uv_light, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	uv_light – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1/10 mW/m², Range: [0 to 32800000] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by uv_light_set_uv_light_callback_threshold() is reached. The parameter is the UV Light intensity of the sensor.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by uv_light_set_debounce_period().

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.

int uv_light_get_api_version(UVLight *uv_light, uint8_t ret_api_version[3])¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight *
Output Parameters:	ret_api_version – Type: uint8_t[3] 0: major – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

int uv_light_get_response_expected(UVLight *uv_light, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight * function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Output Parameters:	ret_response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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_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_FUNCTION_SET_UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• UV_LIGHT_FUNCTION_SET_UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• UV_LIGHT_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6

int uv_light_set_response_expected(UVLight *uv_light, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight * function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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_FUNCTION_SET_UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• UV_LIGHT_FUNCTION_SET_UV_LIGHT_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• UV_LIGHT_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6

int uv_light_set_response_expected_all(UVLight *uv_light, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	uv_light – Type: UVLight * response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.

Constants¶

UV_LIGHT_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a UV Light Bricklet.

The uv_light_get_identity() function and the IPCON_CALLBACK_ENUMERATE callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

UV_LIGHT_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a UV Light Bricklet.
