FUNCTIONS

new()

Creates an object with the unique device ID *uid* and adds it to the IP Connection *ipcon*.

get_acceleration()

Returns the calibrated acceleration from the accelerometer for the x, y and z axis in 1/100 m/s².

If you want to get the acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Acceleration` callback and set the period with :func:`Set Acceleration Period`.

get_magnetic_field()

Returns the calibrated magnetic field from the magnetometer for the x, y and z axis in 1/16 µT (Microtesla).

If you want to get the magnetic field periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Magnetic Field` callback and set the period with :func:`Set Magnetic Field Period`.

get_angular_velocity()

Returns the calibrated angular velocity from the gyroscope for the x, y and z axis in 1/16 °/s.

If you want to get the angular velocity periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Angular Velocity` acallback nd set the period with :func:`Set Angular Velocity Period`.

get_temperature()

Returns the temperature of the IMU Brick. The temperature is given in °C. The temperature is measured in the core of the BNO055 IC, it is not the ambient temperature

get_orientation()

Returns the current orientation (heading, roll, pitch) of the IMU Brick as independent Euler angles in 1/16 degree. Note that Euler angles always experience a `gimbal lock <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock>`__. We recommend that you use quaternions instead, if you need the absolute orientation.

The rotation angle has the following ranges:

* heading: 0° to 360° * roll: -90° to +90° * pitch: -180° to +180°

If you want to get the orientation periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Orientation` callback and set the period with :func:`Set Orientation Period`.

get_linear_acceleration()

Returns the linear acceleration of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis in 1/100 m/s².

The linear acceleration is the acceleration in each of the three axis of the IMU Brick with the influences of gravity removed.

It is also possible to get the gravity vector with the influence of linear acceleration removed, see :func:`Get Gravity Vector`.

If you want to get the linear acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Linear Acceleration` callback and set the period with :func:`Set Linear Acceleration Period`.

get_gravity_vector()

Returns the current gravity vector of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis in 1/100 m/s².

The gravity vector is the acceleration that occurs due to gravity. Influences of additional linear acceleration are removed.

It is also possible to get the linear acceleration with the influence of gravity removed, see :func:`Get Linear Acceleration`.

If you want to get the gravity vector periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Gravity Vector` callback and set the period with :func:`Set Gravity Vector Period`.

get_quaternion()

Returns the current orientation (w, x, y, z) of the IMU Brick as `quaternions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial_rotation>`__.

You have to divide the returns values by 16383 (14 bit) to get the usual range of -1.0 to +1.0 for quaternions.

If you want to get the quaternions periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Quaternion` callback and set the period with :func:`Set Quaternion Period`.

get_all_data()

Return all of the available data of the IMU Brick.

* acceleration in 1/100 m/s² (see :func:`Get Acceleration`) * magnetic field in 1/16 µT (see :func:`Get Magnetic Field`) * angular velocity in 1/16 °/s (see :func:`Get Angular Velocity`) * Euler angles in 1/16 ° (see :func:`Get Orientation`) * quaternion 1/16383 (see :func:`Get Quaternion`) * linear acceleration 1/100 m/s² (see :func:`Get Linear Acceleration`) * gravity vector 1/100 m/s² (see :func:`Get Gravity Vector`) * temperature in 1 °C (see :func:`Get Temperature`) * calibration status (see below)

The calibration status consists of four pairs of two bits. Each pair of bits represents the status of the current calibration.

* bit 0-1: Magnetometer * bit 2-3: Accelerometer * bit 4-5: Gyroscope * bit 6-7: System

A value of 0 means for "not calibrated" and a value of 3 means "fully calibrated". In your program you should always be able to ignore the calibration status, it is used by the calibration window of the Brick Viewer and it can be ignored after the first calibration. See the documentation in the calibration window for more information regarding the calibration of the IMU Brick.

If you want to get the data periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`All Data` callback and set the period with :func:`Set All Data Period`.

leds_on()

Turns the orientation and direction LEDs of the IMU Brick on.

leds_off()

Turns the orientation and direction LEDs of the IMU Brick off.

are_leds_on()

Returns *true* if the orientation and direction LEDs of the IMU Brick are on, *false* otherwise.

save_calibration()

A call of this function saves the current calibration to be used as a starting point for the next restart of continuous calibration of the IMU Brick.

A return value of *true* means that the calibration could be used and *false* means that it could not be used (this happens if the calibration status is not "fully calibrated").

This function is used by the calibration window of the Brick Viewer, you should not need to call it in your program.

set_sensor_configuration()

Sets the available sensor configuration for the Magnetometer, Gyroscope and Accelerometer. The Accelerometer Range is user selectable in all fusion modes, all other configurations are auto-controlled in fusion mode.

The default values are:

* Magnetometer Rate 20Hz * Gyroscope Range 2000°/s * Gyroscope Bandwidth 32Hz * Accelerometer Range +/-4G * Accelerometer Bandwidth 62.5Hz

.. versionadded:: 2.0.5$nbsp;(Firmware)

get_sensor_configuration()

.. versionadded:: 2.0.5$nbsp;(Firmware)

set_sensor_fusion_mode()

If the fusion mode is turned off, the functions :func:`Get Acceleration`, :func:`Get Magnetic Field` and :func:`Get Angular Velocity` return uncalibrated and uncompensated sensor data. All other sensor data getters return no data.

Since firmware version 2.0.6 you can also use a fusion mode without magnetometer. In this mode the calculated orientation is relative (with magnetometer it is absolute with respect to the earth). However, the calculation can't be influenced by spurious magnetic fields.

By default sensor fusion is on.

.. versionadded:: 2.0.5$nbsp;(Firmware)

.. versionadded:: 2.0.5$nbsp;(Firmware)

get_send_timeout_count()

The methods 0-2 are available for all Bricks, 3-7 only for Master Bricks.

This function is mostly used for debugging during development, in normal operation the counters should nearly always stay at 0.

.. versionadded:: 2.0.7$nbsp;(Firmware)

enable_status_led()

The status LED is the blue LED next to the USB connector. If enabled is is on and it flickers if data is transfered. If disabled it is always off.

The default state is enabled.

disable_status_led()

Disables the status LED.

The status LED is the blue LED next to the USB connector. If enabled is is on and it flickers if data is transfered. If disabled it is always off.

get_protocol1_bricklet_name()

Returns the firmware and protocol version and the name of the Bricklet for a given port.

This functions sole purpose is to allow automatic flashing of v1.x.y Bricklet plugins.

get_chip_temperature()

Returns the temperature in °C/10 as measured inside the microcontroller. The value returned is not the ambient temperature!

The temperature is only proportional to the real temperature and it has an accuracy of +-15%. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.

reset()

Calling this function will reset the Brick. Calling this function on a Brick inside of a stack will reset the whole stack.

After a reset you have to create new device objects, calling functions on the existing ones will result in undefined behavior!

get_identity()

Returns the UID, the UID where the Brick is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.

The position can be '0'-'8' (stack position).

The device identifier numbers can be found :ref:`here <device_identifier>`. |device_identifier_constant|
