Generally, every method of the Java 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 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.
BrickletCO2V2
(String uid, IPConnection ipcon)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Creates an object with the unique device ID uid
:
BrickletCO2V2 co2V2 = new BrickletCO2V2("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);
This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.
BrickletCO2V2.
getAllValues
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
Returns all values measured by the CO2 Bricklet 2.0.
If you want to get the values periodically, it is recommended to use the
AllValuesListener
listener. You can set the listener configuration
with setAllValuesCallbackConfiguration()
.
Note
The sensor is able to messure up to 120 °C. However it is only specified up to 70 °C. Exposing the Bricklet to higher temperatures might result in permanent damage.
BrickletCO2V2.
setAirPressure
(int airPressure)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
The CO2 concentration depends (among other things) on the ambient air pressure.
To increase the accuracy of the CO2 Bricklet 2.0 you can set the current air pressure. You use the Barometer Bricklet 2.0 or the Air Quality Bricklet to get the current air pressure.
By default air pressure compensation is disabled. Once you set a value it will be used for compensation. You can turn the compensation off again by setting the value to 0.
It is sufficient to update the value every few minutes.
BrickletCO2V2.
getAirPressure
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns the ambient air pressure as set by setAirPressure()
.
BrickletCO2V2.
setTemperatureOffset
(int offset)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Sets a temperature offset. A offset of 10 will decrease the measured temperature by 0.1 °C.
If you install this Bricklet into an enclosure and you want to measure the ambient temperature, you may have to decrease the measured temperature by some value to compensate for the error because of the heating inside of the enclosure.
We recommend that you leave the parts in the enclosure running for at least 24 hours such that a temperature equilibrium can be reached. After that you can measure the temperature directly outside of enclosure and set the difference as offset.
This temperature offset is used to calculate the relative humidity and CO2 concentration. In case the Bricklet is installed in an enclosure, we recommend to measure and set the temperature offset to improve the accuracy of the measurements.
It is sufficient to set the temperature offset once. The offset is saved in non-volatile memory and is applied again after a power loss.
BrickletCO2V2.
getTemperatureOffset
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns the temperature offset as set by
setTemperatureOffset()
.
BrickletCO2V2.
getCO2Concentration
()¶Returns: |
|
---|

getTemperature
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns temperature.
Note
The sensor is able to messure up to 120 °C. However it is only specified up to 70 °C. Exposing the Bricklet to higher temperatures might result in permanent damage.
If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the
TemperatureListener
listener. You can set the listener configuration
with setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration()
.
BrickletCO2V2.
getHumidity
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns relative humidity.
If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the

listener. You can set the listener configuration
with setHumidityCallbackConfiguration()
.
BrickletCO2V2.
getSPITFPErrorCount
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.
The errors are divided into
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.
BrickletCO2V2.
setStatusLEDConfig
(int config)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
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:

BrickletCO2V2.
getChipTemperature
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
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.
BrickletCO2V2.
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!
BrickletCO2V2.
getIdentity
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
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. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.
BrickletCO2V2.
setAllValuesCallbackConfiguration
(long period, boolean valueHasToChange)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
The period is the period with which the AllValuesListener
listener is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the listener off.
If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the listener is only triggered after at least one of the values has changed. If the values didn't change within the period, the listener is triggered immediately on change.
If it is set to false, the listener is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

The following constants are available for this function:
For option:
Listeners can be registered to receive
time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done
with add*Listener()
functions of the device object.
The parameter is a listener class object, for example:
device.addExampleListener(new BrickletCO2V2.ExampleListener() {
public void property(int value) {
System.out.println("Value: " + value);
}
});
The available listener classes with inherent methods to be overwritten
are described below. It is possible to add several listeners and
to remove them with the corresponding remove*Listener()
function.
Note
Using listeners 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.

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.
BrickletCO2V2.
getAPIVersion
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
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.
BrickletCO2V2.
getResponseExpected
(byte functionId)¶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 listener 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:
BrickletCO2V2.
setResponseExpected
(byte functionId, boolean responseExpected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
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 listener 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:
BrickletCO2V2.
setResponseExpectedAll
(boolean responseExpected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and listener configuration functions of this device at once.
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.
BrickletCO2V2.
setBootloaderMode
(int mode)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
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:
For status:
