Basic Functions¶

class BrickletTilt(string $uid, IPConnection $ipcon)¶

Creates an object with the unique device ID $uid:

<?php   $tilt = new BrickletTilt('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', $ipcon);   ?>

This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected (see examples above).

int BrickletTilt::getTiltState()¶

Returns the current tilt state. The state can either be

• 0 = Closed: The ball in the tilt switch closes the circuit.
• 1 = Open: The ball in the tilt switch does not close the circuit.
• 2 = Closed Vibrating: The tilt switch is in motion (rapid change between open and close).

The following constants are available for this function:

• BrickletTilt::TILT_STATE_CLOSED = 0
• BrickletTilt::TILT_STATE_OPEN = 1
• BrickletTilt::TILT_STATE_CLOSED_VIBRATING = 2

Advanced Functions¶

array BrickletTilt::getAPIVersion()¶

Returns the version of the API definition (major, minor, revision) 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.

bool BrickletTilt::getResponseExpected(int $function_id)¶

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 send and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

See setResponseExpected() for the list of function ID constants available for this function.

void BrickletTilt::setResponseExpected(int $function_id, bool $response_expected)¶

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 send and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following function ID constants are available for this function:

• BrickletTilt::FUNCTION_ENABLE_TILT_STATE_CALLBACK = 2
• BrickletTilt::FUNCTION_DISABLE_TILT_STATE_CALLBACK = 3

void BrickletTilt::setResponseExpectedAll(bool $response_expected)¶

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

array BrickletTilt::getIdentity()¶

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' or 'd'.

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

The returned array has the keys uid, connected_uid, position, hardware_version, firmware_version and device_identifier.

Callback Configuration Functions¶

void BrickletTilt::registerCallback(int $callback_id, callable $callback, mixed $user_data=NULL)¶

Registers the given $function with the given $callback_id. The optional $user_data will be passed as the last parameter to the function.

The available callback IDs with corresponding function signatures are listed below.

void BrickletTilt::enableTiltStateCallback()¶

Enables the CALLBACK_TILT_STATE callback.

void BrickletTilt::disableTiltStateCallback()¶

Disables the CALLBACK_TILT_STATE callback.

bool BrickletTilt::isTiltStateCallbackEnabled()¶

Returns true if the CALLBACK_TILT_STATE callback is enabled.

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the registerCallback() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function:

<?php

function myCallback($param)
{
    echo $param . "\n";
}

$tilt->registerCallback(BrickletTilt::CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, 'myCallback');

?>

The available constants with corresponding function signatures are described below.

int BrickletTilt::CALLBACK_TILT_STATE¶

<?php   void callback(int $state [, mixed $user_data])   ?>

This callback provides the current tilt state. It is called every time the state changes.

See getTiltState() for a description of the states.

The following constants are available for this function:

• BrickletTilt::TILT_STATE_CLOSED = 0
• BrickletTilt::TILT_STATE_OPEN = 1
• BrickletTilt::TILT_STATE_CLOSED_VIBRATING = 2

Constants¶

int BrickletTilt::DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Tilt Bricklet.

The getIdentity() function and the IPConnection::CALLBACK_ENUMERATE callback of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

string BrickletTilt::DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

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