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.

void BrickletAccelerometerV2.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!

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Listener Configuration Functions¶

void BrickletAccelerometerV2.setAccelerationCallbackConfiguration(long period, boolean valueHasToChange)¶

Parameters:	period – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false

The period is the period with which the AccelerationListener listener is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the listener off.

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

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

If this listener is enabled, the ContinuousAcceleration16BitListener listener and ContinuousAcceleration8BitListener listener will automatically be disabled.

BrickletAccelerometerV2.AccelerationCallbackConfiguration BrickletAccelerometerV2.getAccelerationCallbackConfiguration()¶

Return Object:	period – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false

Returns the listener configuration as set by setAccelerationCallbackConfiguration().

void BrickletAccelerometerV2.setContinuousAccelerationConfiguration(boolean enableX, boolean enableY, boolean enableZ, int resolution)¶

Parameters:	enableX – Type: boolean, Default: false enableY – Type: boolean, Default: false enableZ – Type: boolean, Default: false resolution – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 0

For high throughput of acceleration data (> 1000Hz) you have to use the ContinuousAcceleration16BitListener or ContinuousAcceleration8BitListener callbacks.

You can enable the listener for each axis (x, y, z) individually and choose a resolution of 8 bit or 16 bit.

If at least one of the axis is enabled and the resolution is set to 8 bit, the ContinuousAcceleration8BitListener listener is activated. If at least one of the axis is enabled and the resolution is set to 16 bit, the ContinuousAcceleration16BitListener listener is activated.

The returned values are raw ADC data. If you want to put this data into a FFT to determine the occurrences of specific frequencies we recommend that you use the data as is. It has all of the ADC noise in it. This noise looks like pure noise at first glance, but it might still have some frequnecy information in it that can be utilized by the FFT.

Otherwise you have to use the following formulas that depend on the configured resolution (8/16 bit) and the full scale range (see setConfiguration()) to calculate the data in gₙ/10000 (same unit that is returned by getAcceleration()):

• 16 bit, full scale 2g: acceleration = value * 625 / 1024

• 16 bit, full scale 4g: acceleration = value * 1250 / 1024

• 16 bit, full scale 8g: acceleration = value * 2500 / 1024

If a resolution of 8 bit is used, only the 8 most significant bits will be transferred, so you can use the following formulas:

• 8 bit, full scale 2g: acceleration = value * 256 * 625 / 1024

• 8 bit, full scale 4g: acceleration = value * 256 * 1250 / 1024

• 8 bit, full scale 8g: acceleration = value * 256 * 2500 / 1024

If no axis is enabled, both listeners are disabled. If one of the continuous callbacks is enabled, the AccelerationListener listener is disabled.

The maximum throughput depends on the exact configuration:

Number of axis enabled	Throughput 8 bit	Throughout 16 bit
1	25600Hz	25600Hz
2	25600Hz	15000Hz
3	20000Hz	10000Hz

The following constants are available for this function:

For resolution:

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.RESOLUTION_8BIT = 0

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.RESOLUTION_16BIT = 1

BrickletAccelerometerV2.ContinuousAccelerationConfiguration BrickletAccelerometerV2.getContinuousAccelerationConfiguration()¶

Return Object:	enableX – Type: boolean, Default: false enableY – Type: boolean, Default: false enableZ – Type: boolean, Default: false resolution – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 0

Returns the continuous acceleration configuration as set by setContinuousAccelerationConfiguration().

The following constants are available for this function:

For resolution:

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.RESOLUTION_8BIT = 0

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.RESOLUTION_16BIT = 1

Listeners¶

Listeners can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with add*Listener() functions of the device object.

The parameter is a listener class object, for example:

device.addExampleListener(new BrickletAccelerometerV2.ExampleListener() {
    public void property(int value) {
        System.out.println("Value: " + value);
    }
});

The available listener classes with inherent methods to be overwritten are described below. It is possible to add several listeners and to remove them with the corresponding remove*Listener() function.

class BrickletAccelerometerV2.AccelerationListener()¶

This listener can be added with the addAccelerationListener() function. An added listener can be removed with the removeAccelerationListener() function.

void acceleration(int x, int y, int z)

Parameters:	x – Type: int, Unit: 1/10000 gₙ, Range: ? y – Type: int, Unit: 1/10000 gₙ, Range: ? z – Type: int, Unit: 1/10000 gₙ, Range: ?

This listener is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by setAccelerationCallbackConfiguration().

The parameters are the same as getAcceleration().

class BrickletAccelerometerV2.ContinuousAcceleration16BitListener()¶

This listener can be added with the addContinuousAcceleration16BitListener() function. An added listener can be removed with the removeContinuousAcceleration16BitListener() function.

void continuousAcceleration16Bit(int[] acceleration)

Parameters:	acceleration – Type: int[], Length: 30, Unit: ? gₙ, Range: ?

Returns 30 acceleration values with 16 bit resolution. The data rate can be configured with setConfiguration() and this listener can be enabled with setContinuousAccelerationConfiguration().

The returned values are raw ADC data. If you want to put this data into a FFT to determine the occurrences of specific frequencies we recommend that you use the data as is. It has all of the ADC noise in it. This noise looks like pure noise at first glance, but it might still have some frequnecy information in it that can be utilized by the FFT.

Otherwise you have to use the following formulas that depend on the full scale range (see setConfiguration()) to calculate the data in gₙ/10000 (same unit that is returned by getAcceleration()):

• Full scale 2g: acceleration = value * 625 / 1024

• Full scale 4g: acceleration = value * 1250 / 1024

• Full scale 8g: acceleration = value * 2500 / 1024

The data is formated in the sequence "x, y, z, x, y, z, ..." depending on the enabled axis. Examples:

• x, y, z enabled: "x, y, z, ..." 10x repeated

• x, z enabled: "x, z, ..." 15x repeated

• y enabled: "y, ..." 30x repeated

class BrickletAccelerometerV2.ContinuousAcceleration8BitListener()¶

This listener can be added with the addContinuousAcceleration8BitListener() function. An added listener can be removed with the removeContinuousAcceleration8BitListener() function.

void continuousAcceleration8Bit(int[] acceleration)

Parameters:	acceleration – Type: int[], Length: 60, Unit: ? gₙ, Range: ?

Returns 60 acceleration values with 8 bit resolution. The data rate can be configured with setConfiguration() and this listener can be enabled with setContinuousAccelerationConfiguration().

The returned values are raw ADC data. If you want to put this data into a FFT to determine the occurrences of specific frequencies we recommend that you use the data as is. It has all of the ADC noise in it. This noise looks like pure noise at first glance, but it might still have some frequnecy information in it that can be utilized by the FFT.

Otherwise you have to use the following formulas that depend on the full scale range (see setConfiguration()) to calculate the data in gₙ/10000 (same unit that is returned by getAcceleration()):

• Full scale 2g: acceleration = value * 256 * 625 / 1024

• Full scale 4g: acceleration = value * 256 * 1250 / 1024

• Full scale 8g: acceleration = value * 256 * 2500 / 1024

The data is formated in the sequence "x, y, z, x, y, z, ..." depending on the enabled axis. Examples:

• x, y, z enabled: "x, y, z, ..." 20x repeated

• x, z enabled: "x, z, ..." 30x repeated

• y enabled: "y, ..." 60x repeated

Virtual Functions¶

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object. They can be called without the corresponding IP Connection object being connected.

short[] BrickletAccelerometerV2.getAPIVersion()¶

Return Object:	apiVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]

Returns the version of the API definition implemented by this API bindings. This is neither the release version of this API bindings nor does it tell you anything about the represented Brick or Bricklet.

boolean BrickletAccelerometerV2.getResponseExpected(byte functionId)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

Returns the response expected flag for the function specified by the function ID parameter. It is true if the function is expected to send a response, false otherwise.

For getter functions this is enabled by default and cannot be disabled, because those functions will always send a response. For listener configuration functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by setResponseExpected(). For setter functions it is disabled by default and can be enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For functionId:

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 2

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 4

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

void BrickletAccelerometerV2.setResponseExpected(byte functionId, boolean responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: boolean

Changes the response expected flag of the function specified by the function ID parameter. This flag can only be changed for setter (default value: false) and listener configuration functions (default value: true). For getter functions it is always enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For functionId:

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 2

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.FUNCTION_SET_ACCELERATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 4

void BrickletAccelerometerV2.setResponseExpectedAll(boolean responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and listener configuration functions of this device at once.

Internal Functions¶

Internal functions are used for maintenance tasks such as flashing a new firmware of changing the UID of a Bricklet. These task should be performed using Brick Viewer instead of using the internal functions directly.

int BrickletAccelerometerV2.setBootloaderMode(int mode)¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: int, Range: See constants

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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

int BrickletAccelerometerV2.getBootloaderMode()¶

Returns:	mode – Type: int, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see setBootloaderMode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3

• BrickletAccelerometerV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

void BrickletAccelerometerV2.setWriteFirmwarePointer(long pointer)¶

Parameters:	pointer – Type: long, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for writeFirmware(). 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.

int BrickletAccelerometerV2.writeFirmware(int[] data)¶

Parameters:	data – Type: int[], Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	status – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by setWriteFirmwarePointer() 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.

void BrickletAccelerometerV2.writeUID(long uid)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: long, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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.

long BrickletAccelerometerV2.readUID()¶

Returns:	uid – Type: long, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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

Constants¶

int BrickletAccelerometerV2.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Accelerometer Bricklet 2.0.

The getIdentity() function and the IPConnection.EnumerateListener listener of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

String BrickletAccelerometerV2.DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Accelerometer Bricklet 2.0.
