API¶

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:

E_OK = 0
E_TIMEOUT = -1
E_NO_STREAM_SOCKET = -2
E_HOSTNAME_INVALID = -3
E_NO_CONNECT = -4
E_NO_THREAD = -5
E_NOT_ADDED = -6 (unused since C/C++ bindings version 2.0.0)
E_ALREADY_CONNECTED = -7
E_NOT_CONNECTED = -8
E_INVALID_PARAMETER = -9
E_NOT_SUPPORTED = -10
E_UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE = -11
E_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = -12
E_INVALID_UID = -13
E_NON_ASCII_CHAR_IN_SECRET = -14
E_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = -15
E_DEVICE_REPLACED = -16
E_WRONG_RESPONSE_LENGTH = -17

as defined in ip_connection.h.

All functions listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions¶

void color_create(Color *color, const char *uid, IPConnection *ipcon)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color * uid – Type: const char * ipcon – Type: IPConnection *

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

Color color;
color_create(&color, "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon);

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

void color_destroy(Color *color)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color *

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

int color_get_color(Color *color, uint16_t *ret_r, uint16_t *ret_g, uint16_t *ret_b, uint16_t *ret_c)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color *
Output Parameters:	ret_r – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] ret_g – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] ret_b – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] ret_c – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the measured color of the sensor.

The red (r), green (g), blue (b) and clear (c) colors are measured with four different photodiodes that are responsive at different wavelengths:

If you want to get the color periodically, it is recommended to use the COLOR_CALLBACK_COLOR callback and set the period with color_set_color_callback_period().

int color_light_on(Color *color)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Turns the LED on.

int color_light_off(Color *color)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Turns the LED off.

int color_is_light_on(Color *color, uint8_t *ret_light)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color *
Output Parameters:	ret_light – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 1
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the state of the LED. Possible values are:

0: On
1: Off

The following constants are available for this function:

For ret_light:

COLOR_LIGHT_ON = 0
COLOR_LIGHT_OFF = 1

int color_set_config(Color *color, uint8_t gain, uint8_t integration_time)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color * gain – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3 integration_time – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets the configuration of the sensor. Gain and integration time can be configured in this way.

For configuring the gain:

0: 1x Gain
1: 4x Gain
2: 16x Gain
3: 60x Gain

For configuring the integration time:

0: 2.4ms
1: 24ms
2: 101ms
3: 154ms
4: 700ms

Increasing the gain enables the sensor to detect a color from a higher distance.

The integration time provides a trade-off between conversion time and accuracy. With a longer integration time the values read will be more accurate but it will take longer time to get the conversion results.

The following constants are available for this function:

For gain:

COLOR_GAIN_1X = 0
COLOR_GAIN_4X = 1
COLOR_GAIN_16X = 2
COLOR_GAIN_60X = 3

For integration_time:

COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_2MS = 0
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_24MS = 1
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_101MS = 2
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_154MS = 3
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_700MS = 4

int color_get_config(Color *color, uint8_t *ret_gain, uint8_t *ret_integration_time)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color *
Output Parameters:	ret_gain – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3 ret_integration_time – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the configuration as set by color_set_config().

The following constants are available for this function:

For ret_gain:

COLOR_GAIN_1X = 0
COLOR_GAIN_4X = 1
COLOR_GAIN_16X = 2
COLOR_GAIN_60X = 3

For ret_integration_time:

COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_2MS = 0
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_24MS = 1
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_101MS = 2
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_154MS = 3
COLOR_INTEGRATION_TIME_700MS = 4

Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the illuminance affected by the gain and integration time as set by color_set_config(). To get the illuminance in Lux apply this formula:

lux = illuminance * 700 / gain / integration_time

To get a correct illuminance measurement make sure that the color values themselves are not saturated. The color value (R, G or B) is saturated if it is equal to the maximum value of 65535. In that case you have to reduce the gain, see color_set_config().

int color_get_color_temperature(Color *color, uint16_t *ret_color_temperature)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color *
Output Parameters:	ret_color_temperature – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1 K, 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 color_register_callback() function:

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

color_register_callback(&color,
                        COLOR_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.

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 color_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:

COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
COLOR_FUNCTION_LIGHT_ON = 10
COLOR_FUNCTION_LIGHT_OFF = 11
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIG = 13
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_ILLUMINANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 17
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 19

int color_set_response_expected(Color *color, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color * 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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
COLOR_FUNCTION_LIGHT_ON = 10
COLOR_FUNCTION_LIGHT_OFF = 11
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIG = 13
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_ILLUMINANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 17
COLOR_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 19

int color_set_response_expected_all(Color *color, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	color – Type: Color * 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¶

COLOR_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Color Bricklet.

The color_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.

COLOR_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a Color Bricklet.
