Basic Functions

BrickletAnalogInV2.get_voltage
Function ID:
  • 1
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • voltage – Type: uint16, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 42000]

Returns the measured voltage. The resolution is approximately 10mV.

If you want to get the voltage periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_VOLTAGE callback and set the period with set_voltage_callback_period.

Advanced Functions

BrickletAnalogInV2.get_analog_value
Function ID:
  • 2
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • value – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

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 CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE callback and set the period with set_analog_value_callback_period.

BrickletAnalogInV2.set_moving_average
Function ID:
  • 13
Request:
  • average – Type: uint8, Range: [1 to 50], Default: 50

Setting the length to 1 will turn the averaging off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data.

BrickletAnalogInV2.get_moving_average
Function ID:
  • 14
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • average – Type: uint8, Range: [1 to 50], Default: 50

  • device_identifier – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

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 Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here.
