func (device *CompassBricklet) GetAPIVersion() [3]uint8
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.
func (*CompassBricklet) GetBootloaderMode ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetBootloaderMode() (mode BootloaderMode, err error)
Returns the current bootloader mode, see SetBootloaderMode.
Associated constants:

- DataRate600Hz
func (*CompassBricklet) GetHeading ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetHeading() (heading int16, err error)
Returns the heading (north = 0 degree, east = 90 degree).
Alternatively you can use GetMagneticFluxDensity and calculate the heading with “heading = atan2(y, x) * 180 / PI“.
If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the RegisterHeadingCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with SetHeadingCallbackConfiguration.
func (*CompassBricklet) GetHeadingCallbackConfiguration ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetHeadingCallbackConfiguration() (period uint32, valueHasToChange bool, option ThresholdOption, min int16, max int16, err error)
Returns the callback configuration as set by SetHeadingCallbackConfiguration.
Associated constants:

func (*CompassBricklet) GetIdentity ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetIdentity() (uid string, connectedUid string, position rune, hardwareVersion [3]uint8, firmwareVersion [3]uint8, deviceIdentifier uint16, err error)
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 <isolator_bricklet>` is always at position 'z'.
The device identifier numbers can be found `here <device_identifier>`. |device_identifier_constant|
func (*CompassBricklet) GetMagneticFluxDensity ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetMagneticFluxDensity() (x int32, y int32, z int32, err error)
Returns the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux for all three axis.
If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the RegisterMagneticFluxDensityCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with SetMagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration.
func (*CompassBricklet) GetMagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetMagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration() (period uint32, valueHasToChange bool, err error)
Returns the callback configuration as set by SetMagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration.
func (*CompassBricklet) GetResponseExpected ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetResponseExpected(functionID Function) (bool, error)
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 sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.
See SetResponseExpected for the list of function ID constants available for this function.
func (*CompassBricklet) GetSPITFPErrorCount ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetSPITFPErrorCount() (errorCountAckChecksum uint32, errorCountMessageChecksum uint32, errorCountFrame uint32, errorCountOverflow uint32, err error)
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.
func (*CompassBricklet) GetStatusLEDConfig ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) GetStatusLEDConfig() (config StatusLEDConfig, err error)
Returns the configuration as set by SetStatusLEDConfig
Associated constants:
- StatusLEDConfigOff
- StatusLEDConfigOn
- StatusLEDConfigShowHeartbeat
- StatusLEDConfigShowStatus
func (*CompassBricklet) ReadUID ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) ReadUID() (uid uint32, err error)
Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.
func (*CompassBricklet) RegisterHeadingCallback ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) RegisterHeadingCallback(fn func(int16)) uint64
This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by SetHeadingCallbackConfiguration.
The parameter is the same as GetHeading.
func (*CompassBricklet) RegisterMagneticFluxDensityCallback ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) RegisterMagneticFluxDensityCallback(fn func(int32, int32, int32)) uint64
This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by SetMagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration.
The parameters are the same as GetMagneticFluxDensity.
func (*CompassBricklet) Reset ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) Reset() (err error)
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!
func (*CompassBricklet) SetBootloaderMode ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetBootloaderMode(mode BootloaderMode) (status BootloaderStatus, err error)
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.
Associated constants:
- BootloaderModeBootloader
- BootloaderModeFirmware
- BootloaderModeBootloaderWaitForReboot
- BootloaderModeFirmwareWaitForReboot
- BootloaderModeFirmwareWaitForEraseAndReboot
- BootloaderStatusOK
- BootloaderStatusInvalidMode
- BootloaderStatusNoChange
- BootloaderStatusEntryFunctionNotPresent
- BootloaderStatusDeviceIdentifierIncorrect
- BootloaderStatusCRCMismatch
func (*CompassBricklet) SetCalibration ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetCalibration(offset [3]int16, gain [3]int16) (err error)
Sets offset and gain for each of the three axes.
The Bricklet is factory calibrated. If you want to re-calibrate the Bricklet we recommend that you do the calibration through Brick Viewer.
The calibration is saved in non-volatile memory and only has to be done once.
func (*CompassBricklet) SetConfiguration ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetConfiguration(dataRate DataRate, backgroundCalibration bool) (err error)
Configures the data rate and background calibration.
- Data Rate: Sets the data rate that is used by the magnetometer. The lower the data rate, the lower is the noise on the data.
- Background Calibration: Set to *true* to enable the background calibration and *false* to turn it off. If the background calibration is enabled the sensing polarity is flipped once per second to automatically calculate and remove offset that is caused by temperature changes. This polarity flipping takes about 20ms. This means that once a second you will not get new data for a period of 20ms. We highly recommend that you keep the background calibration enabled and only disable it if the 20ms off-time is a problem in your application.
Associated constants:
- DataRate100Hz
- DataRate200Hz
- DataRate400Hz
- DataRate600Hz
func (*CompassBricklet) SetHeadingCallbackConfiguration ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetHeadingCallbackConfiguration(period uint32, valueHasToChange bool, option ThresholdOption, min int16, max int16) (err error)
The period is the period with which the RegisterHeadingCallback 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 RegisterHeadingCallback 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.
Associated constants:
- ThresholdOptionOff
- ThresholdOptionOutside
- ThresholdOptionInside
- ThresholdOptionSmaller
- ThresholdOptionGreater
func (*CompassBricklet) SetMagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetMagneticFluxDensityCallbackConfiguration(period uint32, valueHasToChange bool) (err error)
The period is the period with which the RegisterMagneticFluxDensityCallback 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.
func (*CompassBricklet) SetResponseExpected ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetResponseExpected(functionID Function, responseExpected bool) error
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.
func (*CompassBricklet) SetResponseExpectedAll ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetResponseExpectedAll(responseExpected bool)
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.
func (*CompassBricklet) SetStatusLEDConfig ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetStatusLEDConfig(config StatusLEDConfig) (err error)
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.
Associated constants:
- StatusLEDConfigOff
- StatusLEDConfigOn
- StatusLEDConfigShowHeartbeat
- StatusLEDConfigShowStatus
func (*CompassBricklet) SetWriteFirmwarePointer ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) SetWriteFirmwarePointer(pointer uint32) (err error)
Sets the firmware pointer for WriteFirmware. 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.
func (*CompassBricklet) WriteFirmware ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) WriteFirmware(data [64]uint8) (status uint8, err error)
Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by SetWriteFirmwarePointer 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.
func (*CompassBricklet) WriteUID ¶
func (device *CompassBricklet) WriteUID(uid uint32) (err error)
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.
