MQTT - Analog Out Bricklet

This is the description of the MQTT API bindings for the Analog Out Bricklet. General information and technical specifications for the Analog Out Bricklet are summarized in its hardware description.

An installation guide for the MQTT API bindings is part of their general description.

Examples

The example code below is Public Domain (CC0 1.0).

# Change XYZ to the UID of your Analog Out Bricklet

setup:
    # Set output voltage to 3.3V
    publish '{"voltage": 3300}' to tinkerforge/request/analog_out_bricklet/XYZ/set_voltage

API

All published payloads to and from the MQTT bindings are in JSON format.

If an error occures, the bindings publish a JSON object containing the error message as member _ERROR. It is published on the corresponding response topic: .../response/... for .../request/... and .../callback/... for .../register/....

Basic Functions

request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage
Request:
  • voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 5000], Default: 0
Response:
  • no response

Sets the voltage. Calling this function will set the mode to 0 (see request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_mode).

request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/get_voltage
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 5000], Default: 0

Returns the voltage as set by request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage.

request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_mode
Request:
  • mode – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 1
Response:
  • no response

Sets the mode of the analog value. Possible modes:

Setting the mode to 0 will result in an output voltage of 0 V. You can jump to a higher output voltage directly by calling request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_voltage.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

  • "analog_value" = 0
  • "1k_to_ground" = 1
  • "100k_to_ground" = 2
  • "500k_to_ground" = 3
request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/get_mode
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • mode – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 1

Returns the mode as set by request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/set_mode.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

  • "analog_value" = 0
  • "1k_to_ground" = 1
  • "100k_to_ground" = 2
  • "500k_to_ground" = 3

Advanced Functions

request/analog_out_bricklet/<UID>/get_identity
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8
  • connected_uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8
  • position – Type: char, Range: ["a" to "h", "z"]
  • hardware_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
  • firmware_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
  • device_identifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]
  • _display_name – Type: string

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', '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. If symbolic output is not disabled, the device identifier is mapped to the corresponding name in the format used in topics.

The display name contains the Analog Out's name in a human readable form.
