Basic Functions¶

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

Parameters:	uid – Type: &str ip_connection – Type: &IPConnection
Returns:	rgb_led_button – Type: RgbLedButtonBricklet

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

let rgb_led_button = RgbLedButtonBricklet::new("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ip_connection);

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

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::set_color(&self, red: u8, green: u8, blue: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	red – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 green – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 blue – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0

Sets the color of the LED.

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

Return Object:	red – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 green – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0 blue – Type: u8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0

Returns the LED color as set by RgbLedButtonBricklet::set_color().

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::get_button_state(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Returns:	state – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Returns the current state of the button (either pressed or released).

The following constants are available for this function:

For state:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BUTTON_STATE_PRESSED = 0

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BUTTON_STATE_RELEASED = 1

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::get_color_calibration(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<ColorCalibration>¶

Return Object:	red – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 100 green – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 100 blue – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 55

Returns the color calibration as set by RgbLedButtonBricklet::set_color_calibration().

Advanced Functions¶

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::set_color_calibration(&self, red: u8, green: u8, blue: u8) → ConvertingReceiver<()>¶

Parameters:	red – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 100 green – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 100 blue – Type: u8, Unit: 1 %, Range: [0 to 100], Default: 55

Sets a color calibration. Some colors appear brighter then others, so a calibration may be necessary for uniform colors.

The calibration is saved in flash. You don't need to call this function on every startup.

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::get_spitfp_error_count(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<SpitfpErrorCount>¶

Return Object:	error_count_ack_checksum – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_message_checksum – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_frame – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error_count_overflow – Type: u32, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.

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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::get_status_led_config(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Returns:	config – Type: u8, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by RgbLedButtonBricklet::set_status_led_config()

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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]

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.

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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::get_button_state_changed_callback_receiver(&self) → ConvertingCallbackReceiver<u8>¶

Event:	state – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Receivers created with this function receive Button State Changed events.

This callback is triggered every time the button state changes from pressed to released or from released to pressed.

The received variable is the current state of the button.

The following constants are available for this function:

For state:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BUTTON_STATE_PRESSED = 0

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BUTTON_STATE_RELEASED = 1

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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR = 1

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALIBRATION = 5

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_RESET = 243

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::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:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR = 1

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_COLOR_CALIBRATION = 5

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_RESET = 243

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::get_bootloader_mode(&self) → ConvertingReceiver<u8>¶

Returns:	mode – Type: u8, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see RgbLedButtonBricklet::set_bootloader_mode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3

• RGB_LED_BUTTON_BRICKLET_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

pub fn RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a RGB LED Button Bricklet.

The RgbLedButtonBricklet::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 RgbLedButtonBricklet::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a RGB LED Button Bricklet.
