Public Instance Methods

get_bootloader_mode() click to toggle source

Returns the current bootloader mode, see BrickletIndustrialDualRelay#set_bootloader_mode.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 185
def get_bootloader_mode
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_BOOTLOADER_MODE, [], '', 9, 'C'
end
get_chip_temperature() click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 243
def get_chip_temperature
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_CHIP_TEMPERATURE, [], '', 10, 's'
end
get_identity() click to toggle source

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 :ref:`Isolator Bricklet <isolator_bricklet>` is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found :ref:`here <device_identifier>`. |device_identifier_constant|

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 290
def get_identity
  send_request FUNCTION_GET_IDENTITY, [], '', 33, 'Z8 Z8 k C3 C3 S'
end
get_monoflop(channel) click to toggle source

Returns (for the given relay) the current state and the time as set by BrickletIndustrialDualRelay#set_monoflop as well as the remaining time until the state flips.

If the timer is not running currently, the remaining time will be returned as 0.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 133
def get_monoflop(channel)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_MONOFLOP, [channel], 'C', 17, '? L L'
end
get_spitfp_error_count() click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 163
def get_spitfp_error_count
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_SPITFP_ERROR_COUNT, [], '', 24, 'L L L L'
end
get_status_led_config() click to toggle source

Returns the configuration as set by BrickletIndustrialDualRelay#set_status_led_config

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 231
def get_status_led_config
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG, [], '', 9, 'C'
end
get_value() click to toggle source

Returns the state of the relays, true means on and false means off.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 103
def get_value
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_VALUE, [], '', 10, '? ?'
end
read_uid() click to toggle source

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

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 274
def read_uid
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_READ_UID, [], '', 12, 'L'
end
register_callback(id, &block) click to toggle source

Registers a callback with ID id to the block block.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 295
def register_callback(id, &block)
  callback = block
  @registered_callbacks[id] = callback
end
reset() click to toggle source

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!

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 255
def reset
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_RESET, [], '', 8, ''
end
set_bootloader_mode(mode) click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 178
def set_bootloader_mode(mode)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_BOOTLOADER_MODE, [mode], 'C', 9, 'C'
end
set_monoflop(channel, value, time) click to toggle source

The first parameter can be 0 or 1 (relay 0 or relay 1). The second parameter is the desired state of the relay (true means on and false means off). The third parameter indicates the time that the relay should hold the state.

If this function is called with the parameters (1, true, 1500): Relay 1 will turn on and in 1.5s it will turn off again.

A monoflop can be used as a failsafe mechanism. For example: Lets assume you have a RS485 bus and a Industrial Dual Relay Bricklet connected to one of the slave stacks. You can now call this function every second, with a time parameter of two seconds. The relay will be on all the time. If now the RS485 connection is lost, the relay will turn off in at most two seconds.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 122
def set_monoflop(channel, value, time)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_MONOFLOP, [channel, value, time], 'C ? L', 8, ''
end
set_selected_value(channel, value) click to toggle source

Sets the state of the selected relay, true means on and false means off.

A running monoflop timer for the selected relay will be aborted if this function is called.

The other relay remains untouched.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 146
def set_selected_value(channel, value)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_SELECTED_VALUE, [channel, value], 'C ?', 8, ''
end
set_status_led_config(config) click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 224
def set_status_led_config(config)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG, [config], 'C', 8, ''
end
set_value(channel0, channel1) click to toggle source

Sets the state of the relays, true means on and false means off. For example: (true, false) turns relay 0 on and relay 1 off.

If you just want to set one of the relays and don't know the current state of the other relay, you can get the state with BrickletIndustrialDualRelay#get_value or you can use BrickletIndustrialDualRelay#set_selected_value.

All running monoflop timers will be aborted if this function is called.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 96
def set_value(channel0, channel1)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_VALUE, [channel0, channel1], '? ?', 8, ''
end
set_write_firmware_pointer(pointer) click to toggle source

Sets the firmware pointer for BrickletIndustrialDualRelay#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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 197
def set_write_firmware_pointer(pointer)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER, [pointer], 'L', 8, ''
end
write_firmware(data) click to toggle source

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

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 211
def write_firmware(data)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_WRITE_FIRMWARE, [data], 'C64', 9, 'C'
end
write_uid(uid) click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_industrial_dual_relay.rb, line 266
def write_uid(uid)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_WRITE_UID, [uid], 'L', 8, ''
end
