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 OutdoorWeatherBricklet::new(uid: &str, ip_connection: &IpConnection) → OutdoorWeatherBricklet
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: &str
  • ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:
  • outdoor_weather – Type: OutdoorWeatherBricklet

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

let outdoor_weather = OutdoorWeatherBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_station_identifiers(&self) → Result<Vec<u8>, BrickletRecvTimeoutError>
Returns:
  • identifiers – Type: Vec<u8>, Range: [0 to 255]

Returns the identifiers (number between 0 and 255) of all stations that have been seen since the startup of the Bricklet.

Each station gives itself a random identifier on first startup.

Since firmware version 2.0.2 a station is removed from the list if no data was received for 12 hours.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_sensor_identifiers(&self) → Result<Vec<u8>, BrickletRecvTimeoutError>
Returns:
  • identifiers – Type: Vec<u8>, Range: [0 to 255]

Returns the identifiers (number between 0 and 255) of all sensors that have been seen since the startup of the Bricklet.

Each sensor gives itself a random identifier on first startup.

Since firmware version 2.0.2 a sensor is removed from the list if no data was received for 12 hours.

The errors are divided into

  • ACK checksum errors,
  • message checksum errors,
  • framing errors and
  • overflow errors.

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.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_status_led_config(&self, config: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>
Parameters:
  • config – Type: u8, 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:

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3
pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_status_led_config(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>
Returns:
  • config – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_status_led_config

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3
pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_chip_temperature(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<i16>
Returns:
  • temperature – Type: i16, 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.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::reset(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<()>

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!

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::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]

  • device_identifier – Type: u16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Callback Configuration Functions

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_station_callback_configuration(&self, enable_callback: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>
Parameters:
  • enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: false

Turns callback for station data on or off.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_station_callback_configuration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<bool>
Returns:
  • enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns the configuration as set by OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_station_callback_configuration.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_sensor_callback_configuration(&self, enable_callback: bool) → ConvertingReceiver<()>
Parameters:
  • enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: false

Turns callback for sensor data on or off.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_sensor_callback_configuration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<bool>
Returns:
  • enable_callback – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns the configuration as set by OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_sensor_callback_configuration.

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.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_station_data_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<StationDataEvent>
Event Object:
  • identifier – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]
  • temperature – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-400 to 650]
  • humidity – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [10 to 99]
  • wind_speed – Type: u32, Unit: 1/10 m/s, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

  • rain – Type: u32, Unit: 1/10 mm, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
  • wind_direction – Type: u8, Range: See constants
  • battery_low – Type: bool

Receivers created with this function receive Station Data events.

Reports the station data every time a new data packet is received. See OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_station_data for information about the data.

For each station the callback will be triggered about every 45 seconds.

Turn the callback on/off with OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_station_callback_configuration (by default it is turned off).

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_WIND_DIRECTION_ERROR = 255
pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_sensor_data_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<SensorDataEvent>
Event Object:
  • identifier – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]
  • temperature – Type: i16, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]
  • humidity – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 255]

Receivers created with this function receive Sensor Data events.

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

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

Turn the callback on/off with OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_sensor_callback_configuration (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.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::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 OutdoorWeatherBricklet::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 OutdoorWeatherBricklet::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:

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 5
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 7
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248
pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::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:

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 5
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_SENSOR_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 7
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248
pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::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.

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.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_bootloader_mode(&self, mode: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>
Parameters:
  • mode – Type: u8, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • status – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Sets the bootloader mode and returns the status after the requested mode change was instigated.

You can change from bootloader mode to firmware mode and vice versa. A change from bootloader mode to firmware mode will only take place if the entry function, device identifier and CRC are present and correct.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::get_bootloader_mode(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>
Returns:
  • mode – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_bootloader_mode.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
  • OUTDOOR_WEATHER_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4
pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_write_firmware_pointer(&self, pointer: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>
Parameters:
  • pointer – Type: u32, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for OutdoorWeatherBricklet::write_firmware. The pointer has to be increased by chunks of size 64. The data is written to flash every 4 chunks (which equals to one page of size 256).

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::write_firmware(&self, data: [u8; 64]) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>
Parameters:
  • data – Type: [u8; 64], Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:
  • status – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by OutdoorWeatherBricklet::set_write_firmware_pointer before. The firmware is written to flash every 4 chunks.

You can only write firmware in bootloader mode.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::write_uid(&self, uid: u32) → ConvertingReceiver<()>
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Writes a new UID into flash. If you want to set a new UID you have to decode the Base58 encoded UID string into an integer first.

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.

pub fn OutdoorWeatherBricklet::read_uid(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u32>
Returns:
  • uid – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.

Constants

pub const OutdoorWeatherBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER

This constant is used to identify a Outdoor Weather Bricklet.

The OutdoorWeatherBricklet::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 OutdoorWeatherBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME

This constant represents the human readable name of a Outdoor Weather Bricklet.
