Macro reference

ChangeI2CAddress

Fc9-comp-macro.png ChangeI2CAddress
Allows the I2C Device address to be changed which in turn allows more then one RFID reader to sit on the same physical I2C bus. Returns 1 if succesful. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE NewAddress
Range: 8 to 119 or 0x08 - 0x77 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL Return


CheckButton

Fc9-comp-macro.png CheckButton
Checks to see if the button has been pressed since the last read of CheckButton or ReadButton. 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL Return


Initialise

Fc9-comp-macro.png Initialise
Initialises the I2C bus ready for communications with the module. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


ReadAxis

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadAxis
Reads a single axis of the joystick and returns as a signed integer value. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Axis
Range 0-1 Where 0=X, 1=Y 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL Type
0 = Signed (-512 to 511), 1 = Unsigned (0 to 1023) 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


ReadButton

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadButton
Checks to see if the button is currently pressed 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL Return


Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Return To Center
Decides if the joystick automatically returns to the center position when released. Yes: The joystick will return to the center when released. No: The joystick will remain in the current position when released. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Device Address
External device address used to communicate with the module. Default 32 or 0x20 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Connections
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Channel
Channel selection 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Baud Select
Baud rate option selector 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal) 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal) 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.  
Fc9-conn-icon.png Simulation
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Simulate Comms
Controls if we are using the panel simulation or simulating the I2C calls for use with an I2C injector. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Scope Traces
Selects if the component pin connections are automatically generated on the data recorder window or not. Yes: Automatically add the component pins to a group on the data recorder which will reflect the sim data during simultion. No: Do not show the pin signals on the data recorder window. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png API
Specifies the injector component on the panel to interact with to provide comms simulation.
