Bolt Cloud API - A C# Client Library

Quickstart

Start by creating a Bolt object.

Bolt myBolt = new Bolt("<API KEY>", "<DEVICE ID>");

GPIO Functions

DigitalWrite

Response response = await myBolt.DigitalWrite(DigitalPins.D0, DigitalStates.High);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

DigitalMultiWrite

MultiPinConfig config = new MultiPinConfig();
config.AddPinState(DigitalPins.D0, DigitalStates.High);
config.AddPinState(DigitalPins.D1, DigitalStates.High);
config.AddPinState(DigitalPins.D4, DigitalStates.Low);

Response response = await myBolt.DigitalMultiWrite(config);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

DigitalRead

Response response = await myBolt.DigitalRead(DigitalPins.D0);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

DigitalMultiRead

List<string> pinsToRead = new List<string>
                          {
                              DigitalPins.D0,
                              DigitalPins.D1,
                              DigitalPins.D2
                          };

Response response = await DigitalMultiRead(pinsToRead);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

AnalogWrite

Response response = await myBolt.AnalogWrite(AnalogPins.A0, 128);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

AnalogMultiWrite

MultiPinConfig config = new MultiPinConfig();
config.AddPinState(DigitalPins.D0, DigitalStates.Low);
config.AddPinState(DigitalPins.D1, DigitalStates.High);
config.AddPinState(DigitalPins.D3, DigitalStates.Low);

Response response = await myBolt.AnalogMultiWrite(config);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

AnalogRead

Response response = await myBolt.DigitalRead(AnalogPins.A0);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

UART Functions

SerialBegin

Response response = await myBolt.SerialBegin(BaudRates.Baud9600);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

SerialWrite

Response response = await myBolt.SerialWrite("<DATA>");
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

SerialRead

Reads till (excluding) the specified character. till is the ASCII of requred character, that can range from 0 - 127.

Response response = await myBolt.SerialRead(till);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

Or, Read till a new line (\n) is encountered :

Response response = await myBolt.SerialRead();
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

SerialWriteRead

Response response = await myBolt.SerialWriteRead("<DATA>", till);
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

till here, is optional. Reads upto newline (\n) by default.

Utility Functions

GetDeviceVersion

Response response = await myBolt.GetDeviceVersion();
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

IsOnline

Response response = await myBolt.IsOnline();
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

Restart

Response response = await myBolt.Restart();
MessageBox.Show("Opertion Succeeded: " + response.Success.ToString());

Demo

Go through the sample project to have a better understanding of different usages. The project demostrates almost all the functions of the library. To run the demo, right click on the project, set it as startup project and press the run button.
