FUNCTIONS

new()

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

get_voltage()

Returns the voltage for the given channel.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the :cb:`Voltage` callback. You can set the callback configuration with :func:`Set Voltage Callback Configuration`.

set_voltage_callback_configuration()

The period is the period with which the :cb:`Voltage` callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the `value has to change`-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.

The `option`-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the :cb:`Voltage` callback.

The following options are possible:

.. csv-table:: :header: "Option", "Description" :widths: 10, 100

"'x'",    "Threshold is turned off"
"'o'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is *outside* the min and max values"
"'i'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is *inside* or equal to the min and max values"
"'<'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)"
"'>'",    "Threshold is triggered when the value is greater than the min value (max is ignored)"

If the option is set to 'x' (threshold turned off) the callback is triggered with the fixed period.

get_voltage_callback_configuration()

Returns the callback configuration as set by :func:`Set Voltage Callback Configuration`.

set_sample_rate()

Sets the sample rate. The sample rate can be between 1 sample per second and 976 samples per second. Decreasing the sample rate will also decrease the noise on the data.

get_sample_rate()

Returns the sample rate as set by :func:`Set Sample Rate`.

set_calibration()

Sets offset and gain of MCP3911 internal calibration registers.

See MCP3911 datasheet 7.7 and 7.8. The Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet 2.0 is already factory calibrated by Tinkerforge. It should not be necessary for you to use this function

get_calibration()

Returns the calibration as set by :func:`Set Calibration`.

get_adc_values()

Returns the ADC values as given by the MCP3911 IC. This function is needed for proper calibration, see :func:`Set Calibration`.

set_channel_led_config()

Each channel has a corresponding LED. You can turn the LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to "Channel Status". In this mode the LED can either be turned on with a pre-defined threshold or the intensity of the LED can change with the measured value.

You can configure the channel status behavior with :func:`Set Channel LED Status Config`.

By default all channel LEDs are configured as "Channel Status".

get_channel_led_config()

Returns the channel LED configuration as set by :func:`Set Channel LED Config`

set_channel_led_status_config()

Sets the channel LED status config. This config is used if the channel LED is configured as "Channel Status", see :func:`Set Channel LED Config`.

For each channel you can choose between threshold and intensity mode.

In threshold mode you can define a positive or a negative threshold. For a positive threshold set the "min" parameter to the threshold value in mV above which the LED should turn on and set the "max" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 10V, the LED will turn on as soon as the voltage exceeds 10V and turn off again if it goes below 10V. For a negative threshold set the "max" parameter to the threshold value in mV below which the LED should turn on and set the "min" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 10V, the LED will turn on as soon as the voltage goes below 10V and the LED will turn off when the voltage exceeds 10V.

In intensity mode you can define a range in mV that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=4V, max=20V: The LED is off at 4V, on at 20V and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 4V and 20V. If the min value is greater than the max value, the LED brightness is scaled the other way around.

get_channel_led_status_config()

Returns the channel LED status configuration as set by :func:`Set Channel LED Status Config`.

get_spitfp_error_count()

Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.

The errors are divided into

* ACK checksum errors, * message checksum errors, * framing errors and * overflow errors.

The errors counts are for errors that occur on the Bricklet side. All Bricks have a similar function that returns the errors on the Brick side.

set_bootloader_mode()

Sets the bootloader mode and returns the status after the requested mode change was instigated.

You can change from bootloader mode to firmware mode and vice versa. A change from bootloader mode to firmware mode will only take place if the entry function, device identifier and CRC are present and correct.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

get_bootloader_mode()

Returns the current bootloader mode, see :func:`Set Bootloader Mode`.

set_write_firmware_pointer()

Sets the firmware pointer for :func:`Write Firmware`. The pointer has to be increased by chunks of size 64. The data is written to flash every 4 chunks (which equals to one page of size 256).

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

write_firmware()

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by :func:`Set Write Firmware Pointer` before. The firmware is written to flash every 4 chunks.

You can only write firmware in bootloader mode.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

set_status_led_config()

Sets the status LED configuration. By default the LED shows communication traffic between Brick and Bricklet, it flickers once for every 10 received data packets.

You can also turn the LED permanently on/off or show a heartbeat.

If the Bricklet is in bootloader mode, the LED is will show heartbeat by default.

get_status_led_config()

Returns the configuration as set by :func:`Set Status LED Config`

get_chip_temperature()

Returns the temperature in °C 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 bad accuracy. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.

reset()

Calling this function will reset the Bricklet. All configurations will be lost.

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

write_uid()

Writes a new UID into flash. If you want to set a new UID you have to decode the Base58 encoded UID string into an integer first.

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.

read_uid()

Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.

get_identity()

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

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c' or 'd'.

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