Epicardium API¶
This page details all available Epicardium API functions. All these functions are defined in
#include "epicardium.h"
Interrupts¶
Next to API calls, Epicardium API also has an interrupt mechanism to serve
the other direction. These interrupts can be enabled/disabled
(masked/unmasked) using epic_interrupt_enable()
and
epic_interrupt_disable()
.
These interrupts work similar to hardware interrupts: You will only get a single interrupt, even if multiple events occured since the ISR last ran (this behavior is new since version 1.16).
Warning
Never attempt to call the API from inside an ISR. This might trigger an assertion if a call is already being made from thread context. We plan to lift this restriction at some point, but for the time being, this is how it is.
-
int
epic_interrupt_enable
(api_int_id_t int_id)¶ Enable/unmask an API interrupt.

orleds_set_hsv()
significantly reduces the load on the corresponding hardware bus.

Personal State¶
Card10 can display your personal state.
If a personal state is set the top-left LED on the bottom side of the harmonics board is directly controlled by epicardium and it can’t be controlled by pycardium.
To re-enable pycardium control the personal state has to be cleared. To do
that simply set it to STATE_NONE
.
The personal state can be set to be persistent which means it won’t get reset on pycardium application change/restart.

Sensor Data Streams¶
A few of card10’s sensors can do continuous measurements. To allow performant access to their data, the following function is made for generic access to streams.
-
int
epic_stream_read
(int sd, void * buf, size_t count)¶ Read sensor data into a buffer.
epic_stream_read()
will read as many sensor samples into the provided buffer as possible and return the number of samples written. If no samples are available,epic_stream_read()
will return0
immediately.epic_stream_read()
expects the provided buffer to have a size which is a multiple of the sample size for the given stream. For the sample-format and size, please consult the sensors documentation.Before reading the internal sensor sample queue,
epic_stream_read()
will call a sensor specific poll function to allow the sensor driver to fetch new samples from its hardware. This should, however, never take a long amount of time.- Parameters
sd (int) – Sensor Descriptor. You get sensor descriptors as return values when activating the respective sensors.
buf (void*) – Buffer where sensor data should be read into.
count (size_t) – How many bytes to read at max. Note that fewer bytes might be read. In most cases, this should be
sizeof(buf)
.
- Returns
Number of data packets read (not number of bytes) or a negative error value. Possible errors:
-ENODEV
: Sensor is not currently available.-EBADF
: The given sensor descriptor is unknown.-EINVAL
:count
is not a multiple of the sensor’s sample size.-EBUSY
: The descriptor table lock could not be acquired.
Example:
#include "epicardium.h" struct foo_measurement sensor_data[16]; int foo_sd, n; foo_sd = epic_foo_sensor_enable(9001); while (1) { n = epic_stream_read( foo_sd, &sensor_data, sizeof(sensor_data) ); // Print out the measured sensor samples for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { printf("Measured: %?\n", sensor_data[i]); } }
BHI160 Sensor Fusion¶

epic_ble_set_mode
(bool bondable, bool scanner)¶ Set the desired mode of the BLE stack.
There are three allowed modes:
Peripheral which is not bondable (bondable =
false
, scanner =false
).Peripheral which is bondable (bondable =
true
, scanner =false
).Observer which scans for advertisements (bondable =
false
, scanner =true
).
By default the card10 will not allow new bondings to be made. New bondings have to explicitly allowed by calling this function.
While bondable the card10 will change its advertisements to indicate to scanning hosts that it is available for discovery.
When scanning is active,
BLE_EVENT_SCAN_REPORT
events will be sent and the scan reports can be fetched usingepic_ble_get_scan_report()
.When switching applications new bondings are automatically disallowed and scanning is stopped.
- Parameters
bondable (bool) – true if new bondings should be allowed.
scanner (bool) – true if scanning should be turned on.
