Basic Functions¶

new BrickletAccelerometer(uid, ipcon)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: string ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:	accelerometer – Type: BrickletAccelerometer

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

var accelerometer = new BrickletAccelerometer("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.

BrickletAccelerometer.getAcceleration([returnCallback][, errorCallback])¶

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the on() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function:

accelerometer.on(BrickletAccelerometer.CALLBACK_EXAMPLE,
    function (param) {
        console.log(param);
    }
);

The available constants with inherent number and type of parameters are described below.

BrickletAccelerometer.CALLBACK_ACCELERATION¶

Callback Parameters:	x – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? y – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? z – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ?

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by setAccelerationCallbackPeriod(). The parameters are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with setConfiguration().

The CALLBACK_ACCELERATION callback is only triggered if the acceleration has changed since the last triggering.

BrickletAccelerometer.CALLBACK_ACCELERATION_REACHED¶

Callback Parameters:	x – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? y – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ? z – Type: int, Unit: 1/1000 gₙ, Range: ?

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by setAccelerationCallbackThreshold() is reached. The parameters are the X, Y and Z acceleration. The range is configured with setConfiguration().

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

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.

BrickletAccelerometer.getAPIVersion()¶

Returns:	apiVersion – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: int, 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.

BrickletAccelerometer.getResponseExpected(functionId[, errorCallback])¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

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 setResponseExpected(). 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:

• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_LED_ON = 11
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_LED_OFF = 12

BrickletAccelerometer.setResponseExpected(functionId, responseExpected[, errorCallback])¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: int, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: boolean
Returns:	undefined

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:

• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• BrickletAccelerometer.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
