API

Generally, every method of the MATLAB bindings that returns a value can throw a TimeoutException. This exception gets thrown if the device did not respond. If a cable based connection is used, it is unlikely that this exception gets thrown (assuming nobody unplugs the device). However, if a wireless connection is used, timeouts will occur if the distance to the device gets too big.

Beside the TimeoutException there is also a NotConnectedException that is thrown if a method needs to communicate with the device while the IP Connection is not connected.

Since the MATLAB bindings are based on Java and Java does not support multiple return values and return by reference is not possible for primitive types, we use small classes that only consist of member variables. The member variables of the returned objects are described in the corresponding method descriptions.

The package for all Brick/Bricklet bindings and the IP Connection is com.tinkerforge.*

All methods listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions

class BrickletTemperatureIRV2(String uid, IPConnection ipcon)
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: String
  • ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:
  • temperatureIRV2 – Type: BrickletTemperatureIRV2

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid.

In MATLAB:

import com.tinkerforge.BrickletTemperatureIRV2;

temperatureIRV2 = BrickletTemperatureIRV2('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', ipcon);

In Octave:

temperatureIRV2 = java_new("com.tinkerforge.BrickletTemperatureIRV2", "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.

int BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getAmbientTemperature()
Returns:
  • temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-400 to 1250]

Returns the ambient temperature of the sensor.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the AmbientTemperatureCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with setAmbientTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

int BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getObjectTemperature()
Returns:
  • temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-700 to 3800]

Returns the object temperature of the sensor, i.e. the temperature of the surface of the object the sensor is aimed at.

The temperature of different materials is dependent on their emissivity. The emissivity of the material can be set with setEmissivity().

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the ObjectTemperatureCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with setObjectTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

Advanced Functions

void BrickletTemperatureIRV2.setEmissivity(int emissivity)
Parameters:
  • emissivity – Type: int, Unit: 1/65535, Range: [6553 to 216 - 1], Default: 216 - 1

Sets the emissivity that is used to calculate the surface temperature as returned by getObjectTemperature().

The emissivity is usually given as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. A list of emissivities of different materials can be found here.

The parameter of setEmissivity() has to be given with a factor of 65535 (16-bit). For example: An emissivity of 0.1 can be set with the value 6553, an emissivity of 0.5 with the value 32767 and so on.

Note

If you need a precise measurement for the object temperature, it is absolutely crucial that you also provide a precise emissivity.

The emissivity is stored in non-volatile memory and will still be used after a restart or power cycle of the Bricklet.

int BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getEmissivity()
Returns:
  • emissivity – Type: int, Unit: 1/65535, Range: [6553 to 216 - 1], Default: 216 - 1

Returns the emissivity as set by setEmissivity().

BrickletTemperatureIRV2.SPITFPErrorCount BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getSPITFPErrorCount()
Return Object:
  • errorCountAckChecksum – Type: long, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
  • errorCountMessageChecksum – Type: long, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
  • errorCountFrame – Type: long, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
  • errorCountOverflow – Type: long, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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.

void BrickletTemperatureIRV2.setStatusLEDConfig(int config)
Parameters:
  • config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3

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:

For config:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getStatusLEDConfig()
Returns:
  • config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by setStatusLEDConfig()

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getChipTemperature()
Returns:
  • temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1]

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.

void BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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!

BrickletTemperatureIRV2.Identity BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getIdentity()
Return Object:
  • uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8
  • connectedUid – Type: String, Length: up to 8
  • position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z']
  • hardwareVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3
    • 1: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 3: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]

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

void BrickletTemperatureIRV2.setAmbientTemperatureCallbackConfiguration(long period, boolean valueHasToChange, char option, int min, int max)
Parameters:
  • period – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
  • valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false
  • option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x'
  • min – Type: int, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1], Default: 0
  • max – Type: int, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-215 to 215 - 1], Default: 0

The period is the period with which the AmbientTemperatureCallback 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 AmbientTemperatureCallback callback.

The following options are possible:

Option

Description

'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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'

The period is the period with which the ObjectTemperatureCallback 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.

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with "set" function of MATLAB. The parameters consist of the IP Connection object, the callback name and the callback function. For example, it looks like this in MATLAB:

function my_callback(e)
    fprintf('Parameter: %s\n', e.param);
end

set(device, 'ExampleCallback', @(h, e) my_callback(e));

Due to a difference in the Octave Java support the "set" function cannot be used in Octave. The registration is done with "add*Callback" functions of the device object. It looks like this in Octave:

function my_callback(e)
    fprintf("Parameter: %s\n", e.param);
end

device.addExampleCallback(@my_callback);

It is possible to add several callbacks and to remove them with the corresponding "remove*Callback" function.

The parameters of the callback are passed to the callback function as fields of the structure e, which is derived from the java.util.EventObject class. The available callback names with corresponding structure fields are described below.

Note

Using callbacks for recurring events is always preferred compared to using getters. It will use less USB bandwidth and the latency will be a lot better, since there is no round trip time.

callback BrickletTemperatureIRV2.AmbientTemperatureCallback
Event Object:
  • temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-400 to 1250]

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

The parameter is the same as getAmbientTemperature().

In MATLAB the set() function can be used to register a callback function to this callback.

In Octave a callback function can be added to this callback using the addAmbientTemperatureCallback() function. An added callback function can be removed with the removeAmbientTemperatureCallback() function.

callback BrickletTemperatureIRV2.ObjectTemperatureCallback
Event Object:
  • temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/10 °C, Range: [-700 to 3800]

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

The parameter is the same as getObjectTemperature().

In MATLAB the set() function can be used to register a callback function to this callback.

In Octave a callback function can be added to this callback using the addObjectTemperatureCallback() function. An added callback function can be removed with the removeObjectTemperatureCallback() function.

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[] BrickletTemperatureIRV2.getAPIVersion()
Return Object:
  • apiVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3
    • 1: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 3: 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 BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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 callback 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:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_SET_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_SET_OBJECT_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_SET_EMISSIVITY = 9

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_RESET = 243

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

void BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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 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 functionId:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.FUNCTION_SET_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2

Parameters:
  • responseExpected – Type: boolean

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 BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5

int BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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:

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3

  • BrickletTemperatureIRV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

void BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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 BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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 BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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 BrickletTemperatureIRV2.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 BrickletTemperatureIRV2.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER

This constant is used to identify a Temperature IR Bricklet 2.0.

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

String BrickletTemperatureIRV2.DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME

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