API¶

To allow non-blocking usage, nearly every function of the Rust bindings returns a wrapper around a mpsc::Receiver. To block until the function has finished and get your result, call one of the receiver's recv variants. Those return either the result sent by the device, or any error occurred.

Functions returning a result directly will block until the device has finished processing the request.

All functions listed below are thread-safe, those which return a receiver are lock-free.

Basic Functions¶

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

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	voltage_current – Type: VoltageCurrentBricklet

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

let voltage_current = VoltageCurrentBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn VoltageCurrentBricklet::get_current(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i32>¶

Returns:	current – Type: i32, Unit: 1 mA, Range: [-20000 to 20000]

pub fn VoltageCurrentBricklet::get_voltage(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i32>¶

Returns:	voltage – Type: i32, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 36000]

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn VoltageCurrentBricklet::set_calibration(&self, gain_multiplier: u16, gain_divisor: u16) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	gain_multiplier – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] gain_divisor – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

Since the shunt resistor that is used to measure the current is not perfectly precise, it needs to be calibrated by a multiplier and divisor if a very precise reading is needed.

For example, if you are expecting a measurement of 1000mA and you are measuring 1023mA, you can calibrate the Voltage/Current Bricklet by setting the multiplier to 1000 and the divisor to 1023.

pub fn VoltageCurrentBricklet::get_calibration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Calibration>¶

Return Object:	gain_multiplier – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] gain_divisor – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

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.

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.

pub fn VoltageCurrentBricklet::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 VoltageCurrentBricklet::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 VoltageCurrentBricklet::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:

VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 4
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 6
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 8
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 10
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POWER_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 12
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 14
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 16
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POWER_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 18
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 20

pub fn VoltageCurrentBricklet::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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 4
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 6
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 8
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 10
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POWER_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 12
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CURRENT_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 14
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 16
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_POWER_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 18
VOLTAGE_CURRENT_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 20

pub fn VoltageCurrentBricklet::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.

Constants¶

pub const VoltageCurrentBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Voltage/Current Bricklet.

The VoltageCurrentBricklet::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 VoltageCurrentBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a Voltage/Current Bricklet.
