Command Structure¶

The common options of the call and dispatch commands are documented here. The specific command structure is shown below.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <function> [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

The call command is used to call a function of the Accelerometer Bricklet 2.0. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific call command and exits
• --list-functions shows a list of known functions of the Accelerometer Bricklet 2.0 and exits

tinkerforge dispatch accelerometer-v2-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <callback>¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The dispatch command is used to dispatch a callback of the Accelerometer Bricklet 2.0. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific dispatch command and exits
• --list-callbacks shows a list of known callbacks of the Accelerometer Bricklet 2.0 and exits

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> <function> [<option>..] [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

The <function> to be called can take different options depending of its kind. All functions can take the following options:

• --help shows help for the specific function and exits

Getter functions can take the following options:

• --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

Setter functions can take the following options:

• --expect-response requests response and waits for it

The --expect-response option for setter functions allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of setters as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this option is not given for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

tinkerforge dispatch accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> <callback> [<option>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The <callback> to be dispatched can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific callback and exits

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.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> set-status-led-config <config>¶

Parameters:	<config> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3
Output:	no output

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.

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.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> reset¶

Output:	no output

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. 

Callback Configuration Functions¶

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> set-acceleration-callback-configuration <period> <value-has-to-change>¶

Parameters:	<period> – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 <value-has-to-change> – Type: Bool, Default: false
Output:	no output

The period is the period with which the acceleration 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.

If this callback is enabled, the continuous-acceleration-16-bit callback and continuous-acceleration-8-bit callback will automatically be disabled.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> get-acceleration-callback-configuration¶

Output:	period – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 value-has-to-change – Type: Bool, Default: false

Returns the callback configuration as set by set-acceleration-callback-configuration.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> set-continuous-acceleration-configuration <enable-x> <enable-y> <enable-z> <resolution>¶

Parameters:	<enable-x> – Type: Bool, Default: false <enable-y> – Type: Bool, Default: false <enable-z> – Type: Bool, Default: false <resolution> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 0
Output:	no output

For high throughput of acceleration data (> 1000Hz) you have to use the continuous-acceleration-16-bit or continuous-acceleration-8-bit callbacks.

You can enable the callback 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 continuous-acceleration-8-bit callback is activated. If at least one of the axis is enabled and the resolution is set to 16 bit, the continuous-acceleration-16-bit callback 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 set-configuration) to calculate the data in gₙ/10000 (same unit that is returned by get-acceleration):

• 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 callbacks are disabled. If one of the continuous callbacks is enabled, the acceleration callback 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 symbols are available for this function:

For <resolution>:

• resolution-8bit = 0
• resolution-16bit = 1

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> get-continuous-acceleration-configuration¶

Output:	enable-x – Type: Bool, Default: false enable-y – Type: Bool, Default: false enable-z – Type: Bool, Default: false resolution – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 0

Returns the continuous acceleration configuration as set by set-continuous-acceleration-configuration.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For resolution:

• resolution-8bit = 0
• resolution-16bit = 1

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be used to receive time critical or recurring data from the device:

tinkerforge dispatch accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> example

The available callbacks are described below.

tinkerforge dispatch accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> acceleration¶

Output:	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 callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by set-acceleration-callback-configuration.

The parameters are the same as get-acceleration.

tinkerforge dispatch accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> continuous-acceleration-16-bit¶

Output:	acceleration – Type: Int Array, Length: 30, Unit: ? gₙ, Range: ?

Returns 30 acceleration values with 16 bit resolution. The data rate can be configured with set-configuration and this callback can be enabled with set-continuous-acceleration-configuration.

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 set-configuration) to calculate the data in gₙ/10000 (same unit that is returned by get-acceleration):

• 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

tinkerforge dispatch accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> continuous-acceleration-8-bit¶

Output:	acceleration – Type: Int Array, Length: 60, Unit: ? gₙ, Range: ?

Returns 60 acceleration values with 8 bit resolution. The data rate can be configured with set-configuration and this callback can be enabled with set-continuous-acceleration-configuration.

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 set-configuration) to calculate the data in gₙ/10000 (same unit that is returned by get-acceleration):

• 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

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.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> set-bootloader-mode <mode>¶

Parameters:	<mode> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols
Output:	status – Type: Int, Range: See symbols

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 symbols are available for this function:

For <mode>:

• bootloader-mode-bootloader = 0
• bootloader-mode-firmware = 1
• bootloader-mode-bootloader-wait-for-reboot = 2
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-reboot = 3
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-erase-and-reboot = 4

For status:

• bootloader-status-ok = 0
• bootloader-status-invalid-mode = 1
• bootloader-status-no-change = 2
• bootloader-status-entry-function-not-present = 3

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> get-bootloader-mode¶

Output:	mode – Type: Int, Range: See symbols

Returns the current bootloader mode, see set-bootloader-mode.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

• bootloader-mode-bootloader = 0
• bootloader-mode-firmware = 1
• bootloader-mode-bootloader-wait-for-reboot = 2
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-reboot = 3
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-erase-and-reboot = 4

Parameters:	<pointer> – Type: Int, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Output:	no output

Sets the firmware pointer for 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.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> write-firmware <data>¶

Parameters:	<data> – Type: Int Array, Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Output:	status – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255]

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

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> write-uid <uid>¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Output:	no output

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.

tinkerforge call accelerometer-v2-bricklet <uid> read-uid¶

Output:	uid – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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