API¶

Most functions of the C/C++ bindings for microcontrollers return an error code (e_code).

Possible error codes are:

TF_E_OK = 0
TF_E_TIMEOUT = -1
TF_E_INVALID_PARAMETER = -2
TF_E_NOT_SUPPORTED = -3
TF_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE = -4
TF_E_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = -5
TF_E_INVALID_CHAR_IN_UID = -6
TF_E_UID_TOO_LONG = -7
TF_E_UID_OVERFLOW = -8
TF_E_TOO_MANY_DEVICES = -9
TF_E_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND = -10
TF_E_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = -11
TF_E_LOCKED = -12
TF_E_PORT_NOT_FOUND = -13

(as defined in errors.h) as well as the errors returned from the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) that is used.

Use :cpp:func`tf_hal_strerror` (defined in the HAL's header file) to get an error string for an error code.

Data returned from the device, when a getter is called, is handled via output parameters. These parameters are labeled with the ret_ prefix. The bindings will not write to an output parameter if NULL or nullptr is passed. This can be used to ignore outputs that you are not interested in.

None of the functions listed below are thread-safe. See the API bindings description for details.

Basic Functions¶

int tf_sound_pressure_level_create(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, const char *uid_or_port_name, TF_HAL *hal)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * uid – Type: const char * hal – Type: TF_HAL *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Creates the device object sound_pressure_level with the optional unique device ID or port name uid_or_port_name and adds it to the HAL hal:

TF_SoundPressureLevel sound_pressure_level;
tf_sound_pressure_level_create(&sound_pressure_level, NULL, &hal);

Normally uid_or_port_name can stay NULL. For more details about this see section UID or Port Name.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_destroy(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Removes the device object sound_pressure_level from its HAL and destroys it. The device object cannot be used anymore afterwards.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_decibel(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint16_t *ret_decibel)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_decibel – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 120]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the measured sound pressure in decibels.

The Bricklet supports the weighting standards dB(A), dB(B), dB(C), dB(D), dB(Z) and ITU-R 468. You can configure the weighting with tf_sound_pressure_level_set_configuration().

By default dB(A) will be used.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the Decibel callback. You can set the callback configuration with tf_sound_pressure_level_set_decibel_callback_configuration().

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_spectrum(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint16_t *ret_spectrum, uint16_t *ret_spectrum_length)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_spectrum – Type: uint16_t , Unit: ? dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] ret_spectrum_length* – Type: uint16_t
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the frequency spectrum. The length of the spectrum is between 512 (FFT size 1024) and 64 (FFT size 128). See tf_sound_pressure_level_set_configuration().

Each array element is one bin of the FFT. The first bin is always the DC offset and the other bins have a size between 40Hz (FFT size 1024) and 320Hz (FFT size 128).

In sum the frequency of the spectrum always has a range from 0 to 20480Hz (the FFT is applied to samples with a frequency of 40960Hz).

The returned data is already equalized, which means that the microphone frequency response is compensated and the weighting function is applied (see tf_sound_pressure_level_set_configuration() for the available weighting standards). Use dB(Z) if you need the unaltered spectrum.

The values are not in dB form yet. If you want a proper dB scale of the spectrum you have to apply the formula f(x) = 20*log10(max(1, x/sqrt(2))) on each value.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_configuration(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint8_t fft_size, uint8_t weighting)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * fft_size – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3 weighting – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 0
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets the Sound Pressure Level Bricklet configuration.

With different FFT sizes the Bricklet has a different amount of samples per second and the size of the FFT bins changes. The higher the FFT size the more precise is the result of the dB(X) calculation.

Available FFT sizes are:

1024: 512 bins, 10 samples per second, each bin has size 40Hz
512: 256 bins, 20 samples per second, each bin has size 80Hz
256: 128 bins, 40 samples per second, each bin has size 160Hz
128: 64 bins, 80 samples per second, each bin has size 320Hz

The Bricklet supports different weighting functions. You can choose between dB(A), dB(B), dB(C), dB(D), dB(Z) and ITU-R 468.

dB(A/B/C/D) are the standard dB weighting curves. dB(A) is often used to measure volumes at concerts etc. dB(Z) has a flat response, no weighting is applied. ITU-R 468 is an ITU weighting standard mostly used in the UK and Europe.

The following constants are available for this function:

For fft_size:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FFT_SIZE_128 = 0

Advanced Functions¶

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_spitfp_error_count(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t *ret_error_count_ack_checksum, uint32_t *ret_error_count_message_checksum, uint32_t *ret_error_count_frame, uint32_t *ret_error_count_overflow)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_error_count_ack_checksum – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] ret_error_count_message_checksum – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] ret_error_count_frame – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] ret_error_count_overflow – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_status_led_config(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint8_t config)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * config – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_status_led_config(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint8_t *ret_config)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_config – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the configuration as set by tf_sound_pressure_level_set_status_led_config()

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_chip_temperature(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, int16_t *ret_temperature)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_temperature – Type: int16_t, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-2¹⁵ to 2¹⁵ - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_reset(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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!

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_identity(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, char ret_uid[8], char ret_connected_uid[8], char *ret_position, uint8_t ret_hardware_version[3], uint8_t ret_firmware_version[3], uint16_t *ret_device_identifier)¶

Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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¶

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_decibel_callback_configuration(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t period, bool value_has_to_change, char option, uint16_t min, uint16_t max)¶

Parameters:

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0 value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' min – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0
value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false
option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x'
min – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0
max – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0

Returns:

e_code – Type: int

The period is the period with which the Decibel callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.

The option-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the Decibel callback.

The following options are possible:

Option	Description
'x'	Threshold is turned off
'o'	Threshold is triggered when the value is outside the min and max values
'i'	Threshold is triggered when the value is inside or equal to the min and max values
'<'	Threshold is triggered when the value is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)
'>'	Threshold is triggered when the value is greater than the min value (max is ignored)

If the option is set to 'x' (threshold turned off) the callback is triggered with the fixed period.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_decibel_callback_configuration(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t *ret_period, bool *ret_value_has_to_change, char *ret_option, uint16_t *ret_min, uint16_t *ret_max)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0 ret_value_has_to_change – Type: bool, Default: false ret_option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' ret_min – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0 ret_max – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1], Default: 0
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the callback configuration as set by tf_sound_pressure_level_set_decibel_callback_configuration().

The following constants are available for this function:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_spectrum_callback_configuration(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t period)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

The period is the period with which the Spectrum Low Level callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

Every new measured spectrum will be send at most once. Set the period to 1 to make sure that you get every spectrum.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_spectrum_callback_configuration(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t *ret_period)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_period – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the callback configuration as set by tf_sound_pressure_level_get_spectrum_callback_configuration().

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding tf_sound_pressure_level_register_*_callback function. The user_data passed to the registration function as well as the device that triggered the callback are passed to the registered callback handler.

Only one handler can be registered to a callback at the same time. To deregister a callback, call the tf_sound_pressure_level_register_*_callback function with NULL as handler.

Note

Using callbacks for recurring events is preferred compared to using getters. Polling for a callback requires writing one byte only. See here Optimizing Performance.

Warning

Calling bindings function from inside a callback handler is not allowed. See here Thread safety.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_register_decibel_callback(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, TF_SoundPressureLevel_DecibelHandler handler, void *user_data)¶

void handler(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint16_t decibel, void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * decibel – Type: uint16_t, Unit: 1/10 dB, Range: [0 to 120] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by tf_sound_pressure_level_set_decibel_callback_configuration().

The parameter is the same as tf_sound_pressure_level_get_decibel().

int tf_sound_pressure_level_register_spectrum_low_level_callback(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, TF_SoundPressureLevel_SpectrumLowLevelHandler handler, void *user_data)¶

void handler(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint16_t spectrum_length, uint16_t spectrum_chunk_offset, uint16_t spectrum_chunk_data[30], void *user_data)

Callback Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * spectrum_length – Type: uint16_t, Range: [64 to 2⁹] spectrum_chunk_offset – Type: uint16_t, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] spectrum_chunk_data – Type: uint16_t[30], Unit: ? dB, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1] user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by tf_sound_pressure_level_set_spectrum_callback_configuration().

The parameter is the same as tf_sound_pressure_level_get_spectrum().

Virtual Functions¶

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_response_expected(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Output Parameters:	ret_response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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 tf_sound_pressure_level_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:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_DECIBEL_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_SPECTRUM_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_response_expected(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_DECIBEL_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_SPECTRUM_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 9

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_RESET = 243
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_response_expected_all(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, bool response_expected)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_bootloader_mode(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint8_t mode, uint8_t *ret_status)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * mode – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Output Parameters:	ret_status – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For ret_status:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5

int tf_sound_pressure_level_get_bootloader_mode(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint8_t *ret_mode)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_mode – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Returns the current bootloader mode, see tf_sound_pressure_level_set_bootloader_mode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For ret_mode:

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

int tf_sound_pressure_level_set_write_firmware_pointer(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t pointer)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * pointer – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Sets the firmware pointer for tf_sound_pressure_level_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.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_write_firmware(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, const uint8_t data[64], uint8_t *ret_status)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * data – Type: const uint8_t[64], Range: [0 to 255]
Output Parameters:	ret_status – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by tf_sound_pressure_level_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.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_write_uid(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t uid)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel * uid – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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.

int tf_sound_pressure_level_read_uid(TF_SoundPressureLevel *sound_pressure_level, uint32_t *ret_uid)¶

Parameters:	sound_pressure_level – Type: TF_SoundPressureLevel *
Output Parameters:	ret_uid – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]
Returns:	e_code – Type: int

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

Constants¶

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Sound Pressure Level Bricklet.

The functions tf_sound_pressure_level_get_identity() and tf_hal_get_device_info() have a device_identifier output parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

TF_SOUND_PRESSURE_LEVEL_DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a Sound Pressure Level Bricklet.
