The Analog In Bricklet 2.0 API is defined in the package github.com/Tinkerforge/go-api-bindings/analog_in_v2_bricklet
Nearly every function of the Go bindings can return an
ipconnection.DeviceError
, implementing the error interface. The error can have one of the following values:
which correspond to the values returned from Bricks and Bricklets.
All functions listed below are thread-safe.
analog_in_v2_bricklet.
New
(uid string, ipcon *IPConnection) (device AnalogInV2Bricklet, err error)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Creates a new AnalogInV2Bricklet
object with the unique device ID uid
and adds
it to the IPConnection ipcon
:
device, err := analog_in_v2_bricklet.New("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon)
This device object can be used after the IPConnection has been connected.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
GetVoltage
() (voltage uint16, err error)¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns the measured voltage. The resolution is approximately 10mV.
If you want to get the voltage periodically, it is recommended to use the
VoltageCallback
callback and set the period with
SetVoltageCallbackPeriod()
.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
GetAnalogValue
() (value uint16, err error)¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns the value as read by a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter.
If you want the analog value periodically, it is recommended to use the
AnalogValueCallback
callback and set the period with
SetAnalogValueCallbackPeriod()
.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
SetMovingAverage
(average uint8) (err error)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Sets the length of a moving averaging for the voltage.
Setting the length to 1 will turn the averaging off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
GetMovingAverage

|
---|
Returns the length of the moving average as set by SetMovingAverage()
.

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.

are triggered, if the thresholds
keep being reached.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
GetDebouncePeriod
() (debounce uint32, err error)¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns the debounce period as set by SetDebouncePeriod()
.
Callbacks can be registered to receive
time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done
with the corresponding Register*Callback
function, which returns a unique callback ID.
This ID can be used to deregister the callback later with the corresponding Deregister*Callback
function.
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.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)

|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by
SetVoltageCallbackPeriod()
. The callback parameter is the voltage of the
sensor.
Der VoltageCallback
callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since
the last triggering.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
RegisterAnalogValueCallback
(func(value uint16)) (registrationId uint64)¶Callback Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|

RegisterVoltageReachedCallback
(func(voltage uint16)) (registrationId uint64)¶Callback Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by
SetVoltageCallbackThreshold()

SetAnalogValueCallbackThreshold()
is reached.
The callback parameter is the analog value of the sensor.
If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically
with the period as set by SetDebouncePeriod()
.
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.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
GetAPIVersion
() (apiVersion [3]uint8, err error)¶Returns: |
|
---|
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.
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
GetResponseExpected
(functionId uint8) (responseExpected bool, err error)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
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:
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
SetResponseExpected
(functionId uint8, responseExpected bool) (err error)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
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:
(*AnalogInV2Bricklet)
SetResponseExpectedAll
(responseExpected bool) (err error)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.
analog_in_v2_bricklet.
DeviceIdentifier
¶This constant is used to identify a Analog In Bricklet 2.0.
The GetIdentity()
function and
the (*IPConnection) RegisterEnumerateCallback
callback of the IPConnection have a deviceIdentifier
parameter to specify
the Brick's or Bricklet's type.
analog_in_v2_bricklet.
DeviceDisplayName
¶This constant represents the human readable name of a Analog In Bricklet 2.0.
