API¶

Generally, every method of the MATLAB 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 the MATLAB bindings are based on Java and 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.

Basic Functions¶

class BrickletCO2V2(String uid, IPConnection ipcon)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: String ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:	co2V2 – Type: BrickletCO2V2

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid.

In MATLAB:

import com.tinkerforge.BrickletCO2V2;

co2V2 = BrickletCO2V2('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', ipcon);

In Octave:

co2V2 = java_new("com.tinkerforge.BrickletCO2V2", "YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.

BrickletCO2V2.AllValues BrickletCO2V2.getAllValues()¶

Return Object:	co2Concentration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 40000] temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-4000 to 12000] humidity – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 10000]

Returns all values measured by the CO2 Bricklet 2.0.

If you want to get the values periodically, it is recommended to use the AllValuesCallback callback. You can set the callback 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.

void BrickletCO2V2.setAirPressure(int airPressure)¶

Parameters:	airPressure – Type: int, Unit: 1 hPa, Range: [0, 700 to 1200], Default: 0

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.

int BrickletCO2V2.getAirPressure()¶

Returns:	airPressure – Type: int, Unit: 1 hPa, Range: [0, 700 to 1200], Default: 0

Returns the ambient air pressure as set by setAirPressure().

void BrickletCO2V2.setTemperatureOffset(int offset)¶

Parameters:	offset – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

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.

int BrickletCO2V2.getTemperatureOffset()¶

Returns:	offset – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

Returns the temperature offset as set by setTemperatureOffset().

int BrickletCO2V2.getCO2Concentration()¶

Returns:	co2Concentration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 40000]

Returns CO2 concentration.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the CO2ConcentrationCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with setCO2ConcentrationCallbackConfiguration().

int BrickletCO2V2.getTemperature()¶

Returns:	temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-4000 to 12000]

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 TemperatureCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

int BrickletCO2V2.getHumidity()¶

Returns:	humidity – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 10000]

Returns relative humidity.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the HumidityCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with setHumidityCallbackConfiguration().

Advanced Functions¶

BrickletCO2V2.SPITFPErrorCount BrickletCO2V2.getSPITFPErrorCount()¶

Return Object:	errorCountAckChecksum – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountMessageChecksum – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountFrame – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountOverflow – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

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.

void BrickletCO2V2.setStatusLEDConfig(int config)¶

Parameters:	config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3

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:

For config:

BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int BrickletCO2V2.getStatusLEDConfig()¶

Returns:	config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by setStatusLEDConfig()

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
BrickletCO2V2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int BrickletCO2V2.getChipTemperature()¶

Returns:	temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-2¹⁵ to 2¹⁵ - 1]

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.

void 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!

Parameters:	period – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false

The period is the period with which the AllValuesCallback 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 at least one of the values has changed. If the values 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.

BrickletCO2V2.AllValuesCallbackConfiguration BrickletCO2V2.getAllValuesCallbackConfiguration()¶

Return Object:	period – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false

The period is the period with which the CO2ConcentrationCallback 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 CO2ConcentrationCallback 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.

The following constants are available for this function:

BrickletCO2V2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
BrickletCO2V2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with "set" function of MATLAB. The parameters consist of the IP Connection object, the callback name and the callback function. For example, it looks like this in MATLAB:

function my_callback(e)
    fprintf('Parameter: %s\n', e.param);
end

set(device, 'ExampleCallback', @(h, e) my_callback(e));

Due to a difference in the Octave Java support the "set" function cannot be used in Octave. The registration is done with "add*Callback" functions of the device object. It looks like this in Octave:

function my_callback(e)
    fprintf("Parameter: %s\n", e.param);
end

device.addExampleCallback(@my_callback);

It is possible to add several callbacks and to remove them with the corresponding "remove*Callback" function.

The parameters of the callback are passed to the callback function as fields of the structure e, which is derived from the java.util.EventObject class. The available callback names with corresponding structure fields are described below.

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.

callback BrickletCO2V2.AllValuesCallback¶

Event Object:	co2Concentration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 40000] temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-4000 to 12000] humidity – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 10000]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by setAllValuesCallbackConfiguration().

The parameters are the same as getAllValues().

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.

In MATLAB the set() function can be used to register a callback function to this callback.

In Octave a callback function can be added to this callback using the addAllValuesCallback() function. An added callback function can be removed with the removeAllValuesCallback() function.

callback BrickletCO2V2.CO2ConcentrationCallback¶

Event Object:	co2Concentration – Type: int, Unit: 1 ppm, Range: [0 to 40000]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by setCO2ConcentrationCallbackConfiguration().

The parameter is the same as getCO2Concentration().

In MATLAB the set() function can be used to register a callback function to this callback.

In Octave a callback function can be added to this callback using the addCO2ConcentrationCallback() function. An added callback function can be removed with the removeCO2ConcentrationCallback() function.

callback BrickletCO2V2.TemperatureCallback¶

Event Object:	temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-4000 to 12000]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

The parameter is the same as getTemperature().

In MATLAB the set() function can be used to register a callback function to this callback.

In Octave a callback function can be added to this callback using the addTemperatureCallback() function. An added callback function can be removed with the removeTemperatureCallback() function.

callback BrickletCO2V2.HumidityCallback¶

Event Object:	humidity – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 %, Range: [0 to 10000]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by setHumidityCallbackConfiguration().

The parameter is the same as getHumidity().

In MATLAB the set() function can be used to register a callback function to this callback.

In Octave a callback function can be added to this callback using the addHumidityCallback() function. An added callback function can be removed with the removeHumidityCallback() function.

Virtual Functions¶

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.

short[] BrickletCO2V2.getAPIVersion()¶

Return Object:	apiVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3 1: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 2: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 3: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]

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.

boolean BrickletCO2V2.getResponseExpected(byte functionId)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

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:

BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_AIR_PRESSURE = 2
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_OFFSET = 4
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_ALL_VALUES_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6

void BrickletCO2V2.setResponseExpected(byte functionId, boolean responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: boolean

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.

The following constants are available for this function:

For functionId:

BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_AIR_PRESSURE = 2
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_OFFSET = 4
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_ALL_VALUES_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 6
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_CO2_CONCENTRATION_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 10
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 14

BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_RESET = 243
BrickletCO2V2.FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

void BrickletCO2V2.setResponseExpectedAll(boolean responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.

Internal Functions¶

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.

int BrickletCO2V2.setBootloaderMode(int mode)¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: int, Range: See constants

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:

BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5

int BrickletCO2V2.getBootloaderMode()¶

Returns:	mode – Type: int, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see setBootloaderMode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
BrickletCO2V2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

void BrickletCO2V2.setWriteFirmwarePointer(long pointer)¶

Parameters:	pointer – Type: long, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for writeFirmware(). 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.

int BrickletCO2V2.writeFirmware(int[] data)¶

Parameters:	data – Type: int[], Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	status – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by setWriteFirmwarePointer() 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.

void BrickletCO2V2.writeUID(long uid)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

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.

long BrickletCO2V2.readUID()¶

Returns:	uid – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

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

Constants¶

int BrickletCO2V2.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a CO2 Bricklet 2.0.

The getIdentity() function and the IPConnection.EnumerateCallback callback of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

String BrickletCO2V2.DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a CO2 Bricklet 2.0.
