Public Instance Methods

get_bootloader_mode() click to toggle source

Returns the current bootloader mode, see BrickletAnalogInV3#set_bootloader_mode.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 238
def get_bootloader_mode
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_BOOTLOADER_MODE, [], '', 9, 'C'
end
get_calibration() click to toggle source

Returns the calibration as set by BrickletAnalogInV3#set_calibration.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 199
def get_calibration
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_CALIBRATION, [], '', 14, 's S S'
end
get_chip_temperature() click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 296
def get_chip_temperature
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_CHIP_TEMPERATURE, [], '', 10, 's'
end
get_identity() click to toggle source

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 :ref:`Isolator Bricklet <isolator_bricklet>` is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found :ref:`here <device_identifier>`. |device_identifier_constant|

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 343
def get_identity
  send_request FUNCTION_GET_IDENTITY, [], '', 33, 'Z8 Z8 k C3 C3 S'
end
get_oversampling() click to toggle source

Returns the oversampling value as set by BrickletAnalogInV3#set_oversampling.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 178
def get_oversampling
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_OVERSAMPLING, [], '', 9, 'C'
end
get_spitfp_error_count() click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 216
def get_spitfp_error_count
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_SPITFP_ERROR_COUNT, [], '', 24, 'L L L L'
end
get_status_led_config() click to toggle source

Returns the configuration as set by BrickletAnalogInV3#set_status_led_config

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 284
def get_status_led_config
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG, [], '', 9, 'C'
end
get_voltage() click to toggle source

Returns the measured voltage. The resolution is approximately 10mV to 1mV depending on the oversampling configuration (BrickletAnalogInV3#set_oversampling).

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_VOLTAGE callback. You can set the callback configuration with BrickletAnalogInV3#set_voltage_callback_configuration.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 115
def get_voltage
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_VOLTAGE, [], '', 10, 'S'
end
get_voltage_callback_configuration() click to toggle source

Returns the callback configuration as set by BrickletAnalogInV3#set_voltage_callback_configuration.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 153
def get_voltage_callback_configuration
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_GET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION, [], '', 18, 'L ? k S S'
end
read_uid() click to toggle source

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

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 327
def read_uid
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_READ_UID, [], '', 12, 'L'
end
register_callback(id, &block) click to toggle source

Registers a callback with ID id to the block block.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 348
def register_callback(id, &block)
  callback = block
  @registered_callbacks[id] = callback
end
reset() click to toggle source

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!

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 308
def reset
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_RESET, [], '', 8, ''
end
set_bootloader_mode(mode) click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 231
def set_bootloader_mode(mode)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_BOOTLOADER_MODE, [mode], 'C', 9, 'C'
end
set_calibration(offset, multiplier, divisor) click to toggle source

Sets a calibration for the measured voltage value.

The formula for the calibration is as follows

Calibrated Value = (Value + Offset) * Multiplier / Divisor

We recommend that you use the Brick Viewer to calibrate the Bricklet. The calibration will be saved internally and only has to be done once.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 192
def set_calibration(offset, multiplier, divisor)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION, [offset, multiplier, divisor], 's S S', 8, ''
end
set_oversampling(oversampling) click to toggle source

Sets the oversampling between 32x and 16384x. The Bricklet takes one 12bit sample every 17.5µs. Thus an oversampling of 32x is equivalent to an integration time of 0.56ms and a oversampling of 16384x is equivalent to an integration time of 286ms.

The oversampling uses the moving average principle. A new value is always calculated once per millisecond.

With increased oversampling the noise decreases. With decreased oversampling the reaction time increases (changes in voltage will be measured faster).

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 171
def set_oversampling(oversampling)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_OVERSAMPLING, [oversampling], 'C', 8, ''
end
set_status_led_config(config) click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 277
def set_status_led_config(config)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG, [config], 'C', 8, ''
end
set_voltage_callback_configuration(period, value_has_to_change, option, min, max) click to toggle source

The period is the period with which the CALLBACK_VOLTAGE 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 CALLBACK_VOLTAGE 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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 146
def set_voltage_callback_configuration(period, value_has_to_change, option, min, max)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION, [period, value_has_to_change, option, min, max], 'L ? k S S', 8, ''
end
set_write_firmware_pointer(pointer) click to toggle source

Sets the firmware pointer for BrickletAnalogInV3#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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 250
def set_write_firmware_pointer(pointer)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER, [pointer], 'L', 8, ''
end
write_firmware(data) click to toggle source

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by BrickletAnalogInV3#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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 264
def write_firmware(data)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_WRITE_FIRMWARE, [data], 'C64', 9, 'C'
end
write_uid(uid) click to toggle source

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.

# File lib/tinkerforge/bricklet_analog_in_v3.rb, line 319
def write_uid(uid)
  check_validity

  send_request FUNCTION_WRITE_UID, [uid], 'L', 8, ''
