Arduino projects: RoboBoardX4/TotemBUS

Function usage (click to expand)

// Function called when ping response from module is received
void moduleDiscovered() {
  int number = X4.module.getLastNumber();
  int serial = X4.module.getLastSerial();
}
void setup() {
  // Register module ping response event function
  X4.module.addEvent(moduleDiscovered);
}
void loop() {
  X4.module.ping(); // Ping all modules
  delay(1000);
  X4.module.ping(11); // Ping only distance module [11]
  delay(1000);
  X4.module.ping(11, 12654); // Ping only distance module [11] with serial 12654
  delay(1000);
}

Functions

Discover modules

X4.module.ping(number, serial)

Request modules to send a response. All connected modules will be listed in function registered with addEvent().
Available request types:
• all modules
• modules matching specified number
• module matching specified number and serial
Alternatives:
ping(number) - request only by module number
ping() - request all modules
Parameter:
number - module number [0:255]. 0 - all modules
serial - module serial [0:32767]. 0 - ignore serial

X4.module.addEvent(function)

Register module discovery event function. It will be called on each module ping response. Functions getLastNumber() and getLastSerial() can be used inside registered function to get module information.
Parameter:
function - function name [moduleCallback]

(number) X4.module.getLastNumber()

Get last received module number (from ping response).

(serial) X4.module.getLastSerial()

Get last received module serial (from ping response).
