Devices library

This page provides some extra devices. Sometimes based on electronic bricks devices but with more abilities.

Soft button

The soft button is an extension of the button brick device. It can detect click, double click and long press. Timers of double click and long press can be modified to fit your needs.

Messages

• SoftButton > click(): The button has been clicked.
• SoftButton > double_click(): The button has been double clicked.
• SoftButton > long_press(): The button has been long pressed.

Soft temperature sensor

The soft temperature sensor is an extension of the temperature sensor in brick devices. It provides in addition an alarm feature and keeps minimum and maximum.

Messages

• SoftTemperatureSensor < get_temperature(): Request the temperature.
• SoftTemperatureSensor < reset_min_max(): Reset minimum and maximum.
• SoftTemperatureSensor < subscribe_temperature(interval: UInt16): Request the temperature every interval milliseconds.
• SoftTemperatureSensor < unsubscribe_temperature(): Stop the automatic requests.
• SoftTemperatureSensor > temperature(t: Int16, min: Int16, max: Int16): Sends current temperature, minimum and maximum.
• SoftTemperatureSensorAlarms < activate_alarms(low: Int16, high: Int16): Activate alarms with low as low value and high as high value.
• SoftTemperatureSensorAlarms < desactivate_alarms(): Desactivate alarms.
• SoftTemperatureSensorAlarms > low_temp_alarm(t: Int16): Sends the current temperature if the low value is reached.
• SoftTemperatureSensorAlarms > high_temp_alarm(t: Int16): Sends the current temperature if the high value is reached.
• SoftTemperatureSensorAlarms > no_alarm(): The current temperature is between low and high levels.

Configuration

Serial

The serial device enables to read and write in the serial console to interfaced with the Arduino board.

Messages

• Serial < print_byte(b : Byte): Write byte on the serial port.
• Serial < print_message(msg : String): Write string on the serial port.
• Serial < print_value(v : Int16): Write integer on the serial port.
• Serial > receive_byte(b : Byte): The character b has been read on the serial port.

Configuration

Advanced serial

The advanced serial device is the same as the serial device except that it has a value mode which enables to read value in the serial console.

Messages

• AdvancedSerial < print_byte(b : Byte): Write byte on the serial port.
• AdvancedSerial < print_message(msg : String): Write string on the serial port.
• AdvancedSerial < print_value(v : Int16): Write integer on the serial port.
• AdvancedSerial < value_mode(): Activate the value mode.
• AdvancedSerial > receive_byte(b : Byte): b has been read on the serial port.
• AdvancedSerial > receive_value(v : Int16): The value v has been read on the serial port.
