Basic Functions¶

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

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	color – Type: ColorBricklet

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

let color = ColorBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_color(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Color>¶

Return Object:	r – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] g – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] b – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] c – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

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 ColorBricklet::get_color_callback_receiver callback and set the period with ColorBricklet::set_color_callback_period.

pub fn ColorBricklet::light_on(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Turns the LED on.

pub fn ColorBricklet::light_off(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Turns the LED off.

pub fn ColorBricklet::is_light_on(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Returns:	light – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 1

Returns the state of the LED. Possible values are:

• 0: On
• 1: Off

The following constants are available for this function:

For light:

• COLOR_BRICKLET_LIGHT_ON = 0
• COLOR_BRICKLET_LIGHT_OFF = 1

pub fn ColorBricklet::set_config(&self, gain: u8, integration_time: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	gain – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3 integration_time – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

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_BRICKLET_GAIN_1X = 0
• COLOR_BRICKLET_GAIN_4X = 1
• COLOR_BRICKLET_GAIN_16X = 2
• COLOR_BRICKLET_GAIN_60X = 3

For integration_time:

• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_2MS = 0
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_24MS = 1
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_101MS = 2
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_154MS = 3
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_700MS = 4

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_config(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Config>¶

Return Object:	gain – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3 integration_time – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by ColorBricklet::set_config.

The following constants are available for this function:

For gain:

• COLOR_BRICKLET_GAIN_1X = 0
• COLOR_BRICKLET_GAIN_4X = 1
• COLOR_BRICKLET_GAIN_16X = 2
• COLOR_BRICKLET_GAIN_60X = 3

For integration_time:

• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_2MS = 0
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_24MS = 1
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_101MS = 2
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_154MS = 3
• COLOR_BRICKLET_INTEGRATION_TIME_700MS = 4

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_illuminance(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>¶

Returns:	illuminance – Type: u32, Unit: ? lx, Range: [0 to 103438]

Returns the illuminance affected by the gain and integration time as set by ColorBricklet::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 ColorBricklet::set_config.

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_color_temperature(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u16>¶

Returns:	color_temperature – Type: u16, Unit: 1 K, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the color temperature.

To get a correct color temperature 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 ColorBricklet::set_config.

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_identity(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<Identity>¶

Return Object:

uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 connected_uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardware_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] firmware_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] device_identifier – 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.

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_color_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<ColorEvent>¶

Event Object:	r – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] g – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] b – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] c – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Color events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by ColorBricklet::set_color_callback_period. The received variable is the color of the sensor as RGBC.

The ColorBricklet::get_color_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the color has changed since the last triggering.

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_color_reached_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<ColorReachedEvent>¶

Event Object:	r – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] g – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] b – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1] c – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Color Reached events.

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by ColorBricklet::set_color_callback_threshold is reached. The received variable is the color of the sensor as RGBC.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by ColorBricklet::set_debounce_period.

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_illuminance_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u32>¶

Event:	illuminance – Type: u32, Unit: ? lx, Range: [0 to 103438]

Receivers created with this function receive Illuminance events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by ColorBricklet::set_illuminance_callback_period. The received variable is the illuminance. See ColorBricklet::get_illuminance for how to interpret this value.

The ColorBricklet::get_illuminance_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the illuminance has changed since the last triggering.

pub fn ColorBricklet::get_color_temperature_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u16>¶

Event:	color_temperature – Type: u16, Unit: 1 K, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Receivers created with this function receive Color Temperature events.

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by ColorBricklet::set_color_temperature_callback_period. The received variable is the color temperature.

The ColorBricklet::get_color_temperature_callback_receiver callback is only triggered if the color temperature has changed since the last triggering.

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.

pub fn ColorBricklet::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 ColorBricklet::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 ColorBricklet::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_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LIGHT_ON = 10
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LIGHT_OFF = 11
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIG = 13
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ILLUMINANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 17
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 19

pub fn ColorBricklet::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.

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_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LIGHT_ON = 10
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_LIGHT_OFF = 11
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIG = 13
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_ILLUMINANCE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 17
• COLOR_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 19

pub fn ColorBricklet::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 ColorBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Color Bricklet.

The ColorBricklet::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 ColorBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

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