pmk_probes.probes.FireFly

class FireFly(power_supply: _PMKPowerSupply, channel: Channel, verbose: bool = False, allow_legacy: bool = False, simulated=None, skip_metadata=False)

Bases: _PMKProbe

Class for controlling the FireFly probe. See http://www.pmk.de/en/products/firefly for specifications.

Methods

`auto_zero`
`enable_expert_mode`

Attributes

`battery_indicator`	Returns the state of the battery indicator LEDs on the _interface board.
`battery_voltage`	Return the current battery voltage in V.
`metadata`	Read the probe's metadata.
`probe_head_on`	Attribute that determines whether the probe head is on or off.
`probe_status_led`	Returns the state of the probe status LED.
`properties`	Properties of the specific probe model, similar to metadata but stored in the Python package instead of the probe's flash.

class ProbeStates(value)

Bases: Enum

Enumeration of the possible states of the FireFly probe indicated by the Probe Status LED.

property battery_indicator: tuple[pmk_probes._data_structures.LED, pmk_probes._data_structures.LED, pmk_probes._data_structures.LED, pmk_probes._data_structures.LED]

Returns the state of the battery indicator LEDs on the _interface board.

The tuple contains the states of the four physical LEDs from bottom to top.

property battery_voltage: float

Return the current battery voltage in V.

Caution: This value is not available immediately after turning off the probe head. It takes approximately 200 milliseconds to become available. Before that the battery voltage will read as 0.0.

property metadata: FireFlyMetadata: Read the probe’s metadata.

property probe_head_on: bool

Attribute that determines whether the probe head is on or off.

Getter:: Returns the current state of the probe head.
Setter:: Sets the state of the probe head and waits until the attribute change is confirmed by the probe.

property probe_status_led: ProbeStates: Returns the state of the probe status LED.

property properties: PMKProbeProperties: Properties of the specific probe model, similar to metadata but stored in the Python package instead of the probe’s flash.
