The errors counts are for errors that occur on the Bricklet side. All Bricks have a similar function that returns the errors on the Brick side.

procedure TBrickletOutdoorWeather.SetStatusLEDConfig(const config: byte)¶

Parameters:	config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Sets the status LED configuration. By default the LED shows communication traffic between Brick and Bricklet, it flickers once for every 10 received data packets.

You can also turn the LED permanently on/off or show a heartbeat.

If the Bricklet is in bootloader mode, the LED is will show heartbeat by default.

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

function TBrickletOutdoorWeather.GetStatusLEDConfig: byte¶

Returns:	config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by SetStatusLEDConfig

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

function TBrickletOutdoorWeather.GetChipTemperature: smallint¶

Returns:	temperature – Type: smallint, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]

Returns the temperature as measured inside the microcontroller. The value returned is not the ambient temperature!

The temperature is only proportional to the real temperature and it has bad accuracy. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.

procedure TBrickletOutdoorWeather.Reset¶

Calling this function will reset the Bricklet. All configurations will be lost.

After a reset you have to create new device objects, calling functions on the existing ones will result in undefined behavior!

procedure TBrickletOutdoorWeather.GetIdentity(out uid: string; out connectedUid: string; out position: char; out hardwareVersion: array [0..2] of byte; out firmwareVersion: array [0..2] of byte; out deviceIdentifier: word)¶

Output Parameters:

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done by assigning a procedure to an callback property of the device object:

procedure TExample.MyCallback(sender: TBrickletOutdoorWeather; const value: longint);
begin
  WriteLn(Format('Value: %d', [value]));
end;

outdoorWeather.OnExample := {$ifdef FPC}@{$endif}example.MyCallback;

The available callback properties and their parameter types are described below.

Callback Parameters:	sender – Type: TBrickletOutdoorWeather identifier – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] temperature – Type: smallint, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1] humidity – Type: byte, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 255]

Reports the sensor data every time a new data packet is received. See GetSensorData for information about the data.

For each sensor the callback will be called about every 45 seconds.

Turn the callback on/off with SetSensorCallbackConfiguration (by default it is turned off).

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.

function TBrickletOutdoorWeather.GetAPIVersion: array [0..2] of byte¶

Output Parameters:	apiVersion – Type: array [0..2] of byte 0: major – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: byte, 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.

function TBrickletOutdoorWeather.GetResponseExpected(const functionId: byte): boolean¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, 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 functionId:

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_STATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 5

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 7

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_RESET = 243

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

procedure TBrickletOutdoorWeather.SetResponseExpected(const functionId: byte; const responseExpected: boolean)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: boolean

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 functionId:

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_STATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 5

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 7

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_RESET = 243

• BRICKLET_OUTDOOR_WEATHER_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

procedure TBrickletOutdoorWeather.SetResponseExpectedAll(const responseExpected: boolean)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

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

Internal Functions¶

Internal functions are used for maintenance tasks such as flashing a new firmware of changing the UID of a Bricklet. These task should be performed using Brick Viewer instead of using the internal functions directly.
