API

Most functions of the C/C++ bindings for microcontrollers return an error code (e_code).

Possible error codes are:

  • TF_E_OK = 0
  • TF_E_TIMEOUT = -1
  • TF_E_INVALID_PARAMETER = -2
  • TF_E_NOT_SUPPORTED = -3
  • TF_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR_CODE = -4
  • TF_E_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = -5
  • TF_E_INVALID_CHAR_IN_UID = -6
  • TF_E_UID_TOO_LONG = -7
  • TF_E_UID_OVERFLOW = -8
  • TF_E_TOO_MANY_DEVICES = -9
  • TF_E_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND = -10
  • TF_E_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = -11
  • TF_E_LOCKED = -12
  • TF_E_PORT_NOT_FOUND = -13

(as defined in errors.h) as well as the errors returned from the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) that is used.

Use :cpp:func`tf_hal_strerror` (defined in the HAL's header file) to get an error string for an error code.

Data returned from the device, when a getter is called, is handled via output parameters. These parameters are labeled with the ret_ prefix. The bindings will not write to an output parameter if NULL or nullptr is passed. This can be used to ignore outputs that you are not interested in.

None of the functions listed below are thread-safe. See the API bindings description for details.

The Bricklet has sixteen channels that are named 0 to 15 in the API. The corresponding connectors on the Bricklet are labeled A0 to A7 for channel 0 to 7 and B0 to B7 for channels 8 to 15.

Basic Functions

int tf_io16_v2_create(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, const char *uid_or_port_name, TF_HAL *hal)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • uid – Type: const char *
  • hal – Type: TF_HAL *
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Creates the device object io16_v2 with the optional unique device ID or port name uid_or_port_name and adds it to the HAL hal:

TF_IO16V2 io16_v2;
tf_io16_v2_create(&io16_v2, NULL, &hal);

Normally uid_or_port_name can stay NULL. For more details about this see section UID or Port Name.

int tf_io16_v2_destroy(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Removes the device object io16_v2 from its HAL and destroys it. The device object cannot be used anymore afterwards.

int tf_io16_v2_set_value(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, const bool value[16])
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • value – Type: const bool[16]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Sets the output value of all sixteen channels. A value of true or false outputs logic 1 or logic 0 respectively on the corresponding channel.

Use tf_io16_v2_set_selected_value() to change only one output channel state.

For example: (True, True, False, False, ..., False) will turn the channels 0-1 high and the channels 2-15 low.

All running monoflop timers will be aborted if this function is called.

Note

This function does nothing for channels that are configured as input. Pull-up resistors can be switched on with tf_io16_v2_set_configuration().

int tf_io16_v2_get_value(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, bool ret_value[16])
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
Output Parameters:
  • ret_value – Type: bool[16]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the logic levels that are currently measured on the channels. This function works if the channel is configured as input as well as if it is configured as output.

int tf_io16_v2_set_selected_value(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, bool value)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
  • value – Type: bool
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Sets the output value of a specific channel without affecting the other channels.

A running monoflop timer for the specific channel will be aborted if this function is called.

Note

This function does nothing for channels that are configured as input. Pull-up resistors can be switched on with tf_io16_v2_set_configuration().

int tf_io16_v2_set_configuration(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, char direction, bool value)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
  • direction – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'i'
  • value – Type: bool, Default: true
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Configures the value and direction of a specific channel. Possible directions are 'i' and 'o' for input and output.

If the direction is configured as output, the value is either high or low (set as true or false).

If the direction is configured as input, the value is either pull-up or default (set as true or false).

For example:

  • (0, 'i', true) will set channel-0 as input pull-up.
  • (1, 'i', false) will set channel-1 as input default (floating if nothing is connected).
  • (2, 'o', true) will set channel-2 as output high.
  • (3, 'o', false) will set channel-3 as output low.

A running monoflop timer for the specific channel will be aborted if this function is called.

The following constants are available for this function:

For direction:

  • TF_IO16_V2_DIRECTION_IN = 'i'
  • TF_IO16_V2_DIRECTION_OUT = 'o'
int tf_io16_v2_get_configuration(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, char *ret_direction, bool *ret_value)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
Output Parameters:
  • ret_direction – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'i'
  • ret_value – Type: bool, Default: true
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the channel configuration as set by tf_io16_v2_set_configuration().

The following constants are available for this function:

For ret_direction:

  • TF_IO16_V2_DIRECTION_IN = 'i'
  • TF_IO16_V2_DIRECTION_OUT = 'o'

Advanced Functions

int tf_io16_v2_set_monoflop(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, bool value, uint32_t time)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
  • value – Type: bool
  • time – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Configures a monoflop of the specified channel.

The second parameter is the desired value of the specified channel. A true means relay closed and a false means relay open.

The third parameter indicates the time that the channels should hold the value.

If this function is called with the parameters (0, 1, 1500) channel 0 will close and in 1.5s channel 0 will open again

A monoflop can be used as a fail-safe mechanism. For example: Lets assume you have a RS485 bus and a IO-16 Bricklet 2.0 connected to one of the slave stacks. You can now call this function every second, with a time parameter of two seconds and channel 0 closed. Channel 0 will be closed all the time. If now the RS485 connection is lost, then channel 0 will be opened in at most two seconds.

int tf_io16_v2_get_monoflop(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, bool *ret_value, uint32_t *ret_time, uint32_t *ret_time_remaining)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
Output Parameters:
  • ret_value – Type: bool
  • ret_time – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
  • ret_time_remaining – Type: uint32_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns (for the given channel) the current value and the time as set by tf_io16_v2_set_monoflop() as well as the remaining time until the value flips.

If the timer is not running currently, the remaining time will be returned as 0.

int tf_io16_v2_get_edge_count(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, bool reset_counter, uint32_t *ret_count)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
  • reset_counter – Type: bool
Output Parameters:
  • ret_count – Type: uint32_t, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the current value of the edge counter for the selected channel. You can configure the edges that are counted with tf_io16_v2_set_edge_count_configuration().

If you set the reset counter to true, the count is set back to 0 directly after it is read.

int tf_io16_v2_set_edge_count_configuration(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, uint8_t edge_type, uint8_t debounce)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
  • edge_type – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 0
  • debounce – Type: uint8_t, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 100
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Configures the edge counter for a specific channel.

The edge type parameter configures if rising edges, falling edges or both are counted if the channel is configured for input. Possible edge types are:

  • 0 = rising
  • 1 = falling
  • 2 = both

Configuring an edge counter resets its value to 0.

If you don't know what any of this means, just leave it at default. The default configuration is very likely OK for you.

The following constants are available for this function:

For edge_type:

  • TF_IO16_V2_EDGE_TYPE_RISING = 0
  • TF_IO16_V2_EDGE_TYPE_FALLING = 1
  • TF_IO16_V2_EDGE_TYPE_BOTH = 2
int tf_io16_v2_get_edge_count_configuration(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, uint8_t *ret_edge_type, uint8_t *ret_debounce)

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.

int tf_io16_v2_set_status_led_config(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t config)

  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • config – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants, Default: 3
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

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 following constants are available for this function:

Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the temperature 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.

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.

Callback Configuration Functions

int tf_io16_v2_set_input_value_callback_configuration(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, uint32_t period, bool value_has_to_change)

This callback can be configured per channel.

The period is the period with which the Input Value 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.

  • e_code – Type: int

Returns the callback configuration as set by tf_io16_v2_set_all_input_value_callback_configuration().

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the corresponding tf_io16_v2_register_*_callback function. The user_data passed to the registration function as well as the device that triggered the callback are passed to the registered callback handler.

Only one handler can be registered to a callback at the same time. To deregister a callback, call the tf_io16_v2_register_*_callback function with NULL as handler.

Note

Using callbacks for recurring events is preferred compared to using getters. Polling for a callback requires writing one byte only. See here Optimizing Performance.

Warning

Calling bindings function from inside a callback handler is not allowed. See here Thread safety.

int tf_io16_v2_register_input_value_callback(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, TF_IO16V2_InputValueHandler handler, void *user_data)
void handler(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t channel, bool changed, bool value, void *user_data)
Callback Parameters:

  • channel – Type: uint8_t, Range: [0 to 15]
  • changed – Type: bool
  • value – Type: bool
  • user_data – Type: void *

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by tf_io16_v2_set_input_value_callback_configuration().

The parameters are the channel, a value-changed indicator and the actual value for the channel. The changed parameter is true if the value has changed since the last callback.

int tf_io16_v2_register_all_input_value_callback(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, TF_IO16V2_AllInputValueHandler handler, void *user_data)
void handler(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, bool changed[16], bool value[16], void *user_data)

This callback is triggered whenever a monoflop timer reaches 0. The parameters contain the channel and the current value of the channel (the value after the monoflop).

Virtual Functions

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object.

int tf_io16_v2_get_response_expected(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool *ret_response_expected)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Output Parameters:
  • ret_response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

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 callback configuration functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by tf_io16_v2_set_response_expected(). 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 function_id:

  • TF_IO16_V2_FUNCTION_SET_VALUE = 1
  • TF_IO16_V2_FUNCTION_SET_SELECTED_VALUE = 3
  • TF_IO16_V2_FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 4

int tf_io16_v2_set_response_expected(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t function_id, bool response_expected)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *
  • function_id – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
  • response_expected – Type: bool
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

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 callback 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 function_id:

Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback 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 tf_io16_v2_set_bootloader_mode(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, uint8_t mode, uint8_t *ret_status)
Parameters:
  • io16_v2 – Type: TF_IO16V2 *

Output Parameters:
  • ret_status – Type: uint8_t, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

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:

  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For ret_status:

  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1
  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2
  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3
  • TF_IO16_V2_BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4

Returns:
  • e_code – Type: int

Sets the firmware pointer for tf_io16_v2_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.

int tf_io16_v2_write_firmware(TF_IO16V2 *io16_v2, const uint8_t data[64], uint8_t *ret_status)
