Command Structure¶

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

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick [<option>..] <uid> <function> [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> -- string <function> -- string

The call command is used to call a function of the IMU Brick 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 IMU Brick 2.0 and exits

tinkerforge dispatch imu-v2-brick [<option>..] <uid> <callback>¶

Parameters:	<uid> -- string <callback> -- string

The dispatch command is used to dispatch a callback of the IMU Brick 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 IMU Brick 2.0 and exits

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> <function> [<option>..] [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> -- string <function> -- 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 send and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

tinkerforge dispatch imu-v2-brick <uid> <callback> [<option>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> -- string <callback> -- string

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

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

Basic Functions¶

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-orientation¶

Output:	heading -- int roll -- int pitch -- int

Returns the current orientation (heading, roll, pitch) of the IMU Brick as independent Euler angles in 1/16 degree. Note that Euler angles always experience a gimbal lock. We recommend that you use quaternions instead, if you need the absolute orientation.

The rotation angle has the following ranges:

• heading: 0° to 360°
• roll: -90° to +90°
• pitch: -180° to +180°

If you want to get the orientation periodically, it is recommended to use the orientation callback and set the period with set-orientation-period.

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-linear-acceleration¶

Output:	x -- int y -- int z -- int

Returns the linear acceleration of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis in 1/100 m/s².

The linear acceleration is the acceleration in each of the three axis of the IMU Brick with the influences of gravity removed.

It is also possible to get the gravity vector with the influence of linear acceleration removed, see get-gravity-vector.

If you want to get the linear acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the linear-acceleration callback and set the period with set-linear-acceleration-period.

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-gravity-vector¶

Output:	x -- int y -- int z -- int

Returns the current gravity vector of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis in 1/100 m/s².

The gravity vector is the acceleration that occurs due to gravity. Influences of additional linear acceleration are removed.

It is also possible to get the linear acceleration with the influence of gravity removed, see get-linear-acceleration.

If you want to get the gravity vector periodically, it is recommended to use the gravity-vector callback and set the period with set-gravity-vector-period.

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-quaternion¶

Output:	w -- int x -- int y -- int z -- int

Returns the current orientation (w, x, y, z) of the IMU Brick as quaternions.

You have to divide the returns values by 16383 (14 bit) to get the usual range of -1.0 to +1.0 for quaternions.

If you want to get the quaternions periodically, it is recommended to use the quaternion callback and set the period with set-quaternion-period.

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-all-data¶

Output:	acceleration -- int,int,int magnetic-field -- int,int,int angular-velocity -- int,int,int euler-angle -- int,int,int quaternion -- int,int,int,int linear-acceleration -- int,int,int gravity-vector -- int,int,int temperature -- int calibration-status -- int

Return all of the available data of the IMU Brick.

• acceleration in 1/100 m/s² (see get-acceleration)
• magnetic field in 1/16 µT (see get-magnetic-field)
• angular velocity in 1/16 °/s (see get-angular-velocity)
• Euler angles in 1/16 ° (see get-orientation)
• quaternion 1/16383 (see get-quaternion)
• linear acceleration 1/100 m/s² (see get-linear-acceleration)
• gravity vector 1/100 m/s² (see get-gravity-vector)
• temperature in 1 °C (see get-temperature)
• calibration status (see below)

The calibration status consists of four pairs of two bits. Each pair of bits represents the status of the current calibration.

• bit 0-1: Magnetometer
• bit 2-3: Accelerometer
• bit 4-5: Gyroscope
• bit 6-7: System

A value of 0 means for "not calibrated" and a value of 3 means "fully calibrated". In your program you should always be able to ignore the calibration status, it is used by the calibration window of the Brick Viewer and it can be ignored after the first calibration. See the documentation in the calibration window for more information regarding the calibration of the IMU Brick.

If you want to get the data periodically, it is recommended to use the all-data callback and set the period with set-all-data-period.

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> leds-on¶

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> set-sensor-fusion-mode <mode>¶

Parameters:	<mode> -- int (has symbols)
Output:	no output

If the fusion mode is turned off, the functions get-acceleration, get-magnetic-field and get-angular-velocity return uncalibrated and uncompensated sensor data. All other sensor data getters return no data.

Since firmware version 2.0.6 you can also use a fusion mode without magnetometer. In this mode the calculated orientation is relative (with magnetometer it is absolute with respect to the earth). However, the calculation can't be influenced by spurious magnetic fields.

Since firmware version 2.0.13 you can also use a fusion mode without fast magnetometer calibration. This mode is the same as the normal fusion mode, but the fast magnetometer calibration is turned off. So to find the orientation the first time will likely take longer, but small magnetic influences might not affect the automatic calibration as much.

By default sensor fusion is on.

The following symbols are available for this function:

• sensor-fusion-off = 0, for <mode>
• sensor-fusion-on = 1, for <mode>
• sensor-fusion-on-without-magnetometer = 2, for <mode>
• sensor-fusion-on-without-fast-magnetometer-calibration = 3, for <mode>

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-sensor-fusion-mode¶

Output:	mode -- int (has symbols)

Returns the sensor fusion mode as set by set-sensor-fusion-mode.

The following symbols are available for this function:

• sensor-fusion-off = 0, for mode
• sensor-fusion-on = 1, for mode
• sensor-fusion-on-without-magnetometer = 2, for mode
• sensor-fusion-on-without-fast-magnetometer-calibration = 3, for mode

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> set-spitfp-baudrate-config <enable-dynamic-baudrate> <minimum-dynamic-baudrate>¶

Parameters:	<enable-dynamic-baudrate> -- bool <minimum-dynamic-baudrate> -- int
Output:	no output

The SPITF protocol can be used with a dynamic baudrate. If the dynamic baudrate is enabled, the Brick will try to adapt the baudrate for the communication between Bricks and Bricklets according to the amount of data that is transferred.

The baudrate will be increased exponentially if lots of data is send/received and decreased linearly if little data is send/received.

This lowers the baudrate in applications where little data is transferred (e.g. a weather station) and increases the robustness. If there is lots of data to transfer (e.g. Thermal Imaging Bricklet) it automatically increases the baudrate as needed.

In cases where some data has to transferred as fast as possible every few seconds (e.g. RS485 Bricklet with a high baudrate but small payload) you may want to turn the dynamic baudrate off to get the highest possible performance.

The maximum value of the baudrate can be set per port with the function set-spitfp-baudrate. If the dynamic baudrate is disabled, the baudrate as set by set-spitfp-baudrate will be used statically.

The minimum dynamic baudrate has a value range of 400000 to 2000000 baud.

By default dynamic baudrate is enabled and the minimum dynamic baudrate is 400000.

New in version 2.0.10 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-spitfp-baudrate-config¶

Output:	enable-dynamic-baudrate -- bool minimum-dynamic-baudrate -- int

Returns the baudrate config, see set-spitfp-baudrate-config.

New in version 2.0.10 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-send-timeout-count <communication-method>¶

Parameters:	<communication-method> -- int (has symbols)
Output:	timeout-count -- int

Returns the timeout count for the different communication methods.

The methods 0-2 are available for all Bricks, 3-7 only for Master Bricks.

This function is mostly used for debugging during development, in normal operation the counters should nearly always stay at 0.

The following symbols are available for this function:

• communication-method-none = 0, for <communication-method>
• communication-method-usb = 1, for <communication-method>
• communication-method-spi-stack = 2, for <communication-method>
• communication-method-chibi = 3, for <communication-method>
• communication-method-rs485 = 4, for <communication-method>
• communication-method-wifi = 5, for <communication-method>
• communication-method-ethernet = 6, for <communication-method>
• communication-method-wifi-v2 = 7, for <communication-method>

New in version 2.0.7 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> set-spitfp-baudrate <bricklet-port> <baudrate>¶

Parameters:	<bricklet-port> -- char <baudrate> -- int
Output:	no output

Sets the baudrate for a specific Bricklet port ('a' - 'd'). The baudrate can be in the range 400000 to 2000000.

If you want to increase the throughput of Bricklets you can increase the baudrate. If you get a high error count because of high interference (see get-spitfp-error-count) you can decrease the baudrate.

If the dynamic baudrate feature is enabled, the baudrate set by this function corresponds to the maximum baudrate (see set-spitfp-baudrate-config).

Regulatory testing is done with the default baudrate. If CE compatibility or similar is necessary in you applications we recommend to not change the baudrate.

The default baudrate for all ports is 1400000.

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-spitfp-baudrate <bricklet-port>¶

Parameters:	<bricklet-port> -- char
Output:	baudrate -- int

Returns the baudrate for a given Bricklet port, see set-spitfp-baudrate.

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> get-spitfp-error-count <bricklet-port>¶

Parameters:	<bricklet-port> -- char
Output:	error-count-ack-checksum -- int error-count-message-checksum -- int error-count-frame -- int error-count-overflow -- int

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 Brick side. All Bricklets have a similar function that returns the errors on the Bricklet side.

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

tinkerforge call imu-v2-brick <uid> enable-status-led¶
