API

Generally, every function of the Mathematica bindings that returns a value can throw a Tinkerforge.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 plugs the device out). However, if a wireless connection is used, timeouts will occur if the distance to the device gets too big.

Since .NET/Link does not support multiple return values directly, we use the out keyword to return multiple values from a function. For further information about the out keyword in .NET/Link see the corresponding Mathematica .NET/Link documentation.

The namespace for all Brick/Bricklet bindings and the IPConnection is Tinkerforge.*.

Basic Functions

BrickletIMUV3[uid, ipcon] → imuV3
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: String
  • ipcon – Type: NETObject[IPConnection]
Returns:
  • imuV3 – Type: NETObject[BrickletIMUV3]

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

imuV3=NETNew["Tinkerforge.BrickletIMUV3","YOUR_DEVICE_UID",ipcon]

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

The .NET runtime has built-in garbage collection that frees objects that are no longer in use by a program. But because Mathematica can not automatically tell when a Mathematica "program" doesn't use a .NET object anymore, this has to be done by the program. For this the ReleaseNETObject[] function is used in the examples.

For further information about object management in .NET/Link see the corresponding Mathematica .NET/Link documentation.

BrickletIMUV3@GetOrientation[out heading, out roll, out pitch] → Null
Output Parameters:
  • heading – Type: Integer, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [0 to 5760]
  • roll – Type: Integer, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [-1440 to 1440]
  • pitch – Type: Integer, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [-2880 to 2880]

Returns the current orientation (heading, roll, pitch) of the IMU Brick as independent Euler angles. Note that Euler angles always experience a gimbal lock. We recommend that you use quaternions instead, if you need the absolute orientation.

If you want to get the orientation periodically, it is recommended to use the OrientationCallback callback and set the period with SetOrientationCallbackConfiguration[].

BrickletIMUV3@GetLinearAcceleration[out x, out y, out z] → Null
Output Parameters:
  • x – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ?
  • y – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ?
  • z – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ?

Returns the linear acceleration of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis. The acceleration is in the range configured with SetSensorConfiguration[].

The linear acceleration is the acceleration in each of the three axis of the IMU Brick with the influences of gravity removed.

It is also possible to get the gravity vector with the influence of linear acceleration removed, see GetGravityVector[].

If you want to get the linear acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the LinearAccelerationCallback callback and set the period with SetLinearAccelerationCallbackConfiguration[].

BrickletIMUV3@GetGravityVector[out x, out y, out z] → Null
Output Parameters:
  • x – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981]
  • y – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981]
  • z – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981]

Returns the current gravity vector of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis.

The gravity vector is the acceleration that occurs due to gravity. Influences of additional linear acceleration are removed.

It is also possible to get the linear acceleration with the influence of gravity removed, see GetLinearAcceleration[].

If you want to get the gravity vector periodically, it is recommended to use the GravityVectorCallback callback and set the period with SetGravityVectorCallbackConfiguration[].

BrickletIMUV3@GetQuaternion[out w, out x, out y, out z] → Null
Output Parameters:
  • w – Type: Integer, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-214 + 1 to 214 - 1]
  • x – Type: Integer, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-214 + 1 to 214 - 1]
  • y – Type: Integer, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-214 + 1 to 214 - 1]
  • z – Type: Integer, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-214 + 1 to 214 - 1]

Returns the current orientation (w, x, y, z) of the IMU Brick as quaternions.

You have to divide the return values by 16383 (14 bit) to get the usual range of -1.0 to +1.0 for quaternions.

If you want to get the quaternions periodically, it is recommended to use the QuaternionCallback callback and set the period with SetQuaternionCallbackConfiguration[].

BrickletIMUV3@GetAllData[out {acceleration1, acceleration2, acceleration3}, out {magneticField1, magneticField2, magneticField3}, out {angularVelocity1, angularVelocity2, angularVelocity3}, out {eulerAngle1, eulerAngle2, eulerAngle3}, out {quaternion1, quaternion2, quaternion3, quaternion4}, out {linearAcceleration1, linearAcceleration2, linearAcceleration3}, out {gravityVector1, gravityVector2, gravityVector3}, out temperature, out calibrationStatus] → Null

  • temperature – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-128 to 127]
  • calibrationStatus – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 255]

Return all of the available data of the IMU Brick.

The calibration status consists of four pairs of two bits. Each pair of bits represents the status of the current calibration.

  • bit 0-1: Magnetometer
  • bit 2-3: Accelerometer
  • bit 4-5: Gyroscope
  • bit 6-7: System

A value of 0 means for "not calibrated" and a value of 3 means "fully calibrated". In your program you should always be able to ignore the calibration status, it is used by the calibration window of the Brick Viewer and it can be ignored after the first calibration. See the documentation in the calibration window for more information regarding the calibration of the IMU Brick.

If you want to get the data periodically, it is recommended to use the AllDataCallback callback and set the period with SetAllDataCallbackConfiguration[].

BrickletIMUV3@SetSensorFusionMode[mode] → Null
Parameters:
  • mode – Type: Integer, Range: See constants, Default: 1

If the fusion mode is turned off, the functions GetAcceleration[], GetMagneticField[] and GetAngularVelocity[] return uncalibrated and uncompensated sensor data. All other sensor data getters return no data.

Since firmware version 2.0.6 you can also use a fusion mode without magnetometer. In this mode the calculated orientation is relative (with magnetometer it is absolute with respect to the earth). However, the calculation can't be influenced by spurious magnetic fields.

Since firmware version 2.0.13 you can also use a fusion mode without fast magnetometer calibration. This mode is the same as the normal fusion mode, but the fast magnetometer calibration is turned off. So to find the orientation the first time will likely take longer, but small magnetic influences might not affect the automatic calibration as much.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUOFF = 0
  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUON = 1
  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUONUWITHOUTUMAGNETOMETER = 2
  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUONUWITHOUTUFASTUMAGNETOMETERUCALIBRATION = 3
BrickletIMUV3@GetSensorFusionMode[] → mode
Returns:
  • mode – Type: Integer, Range: See constants, Default: 1

Returns the sensor fusion mode as set by SetSensorFusionMode[].

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUOFF = 0
  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUON = 1
  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUONUWITHOUTUMAGNETOMETER = 2
  • BrickletIMUV3`SENSORUFUSIONUONUWITHOUTUFASTUMAGNETOMETERUCALIBRATION = 3

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done by assigning a function to a callback property of the device object:

MyCallback[sender_,value_]:=Print["Value: "<>ToString[value]]

AddEventHandler[imuV3@ExampleCallback,MyCallback]

For further information about event handling using .NET/Link see the corresponding Mathematica .NET/Link documentation.

The available callback property and their type of parameters 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.

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.

BrickletIMUV3@GetAPIVersion[] → {apiVersion1, apiVersion2, apiVersion3}
Output Parameters:
  • apiVersioni – Type: Integer
    • 1: major – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: minor – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 255]

BrickletIMUV3@GetResponseExpected[functionId] → responseExpected
Parameters:
  • functionId – Type: Integer, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • responseExpected – Type: True/False

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:

  • BrickletIMUV3`FUNCTIONUSETUSENSORUCONFIGURATION = 11
  • BrickletIMUV3`FUNCTIONUSETUSENSORUFUSIONUMODE = 13

  • responseExpected – Type: True/False

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:

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

BrickletIMUV3@WriteFirmware[{data1, data2, ..., data64}] → status
Parameters:
  • datai – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:
  • status – Type: Integer, 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.

BrickletIMUV3@WriteUID[uid] → Null
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: Integer, 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.

BrickletIMUV3@ReadUID[] → uid
Returns:
  • uid – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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

Constants

BrickletIMUV3`DEVICEUIDENTIFIER

This constant is used to identify a IMU Bricklet 3.0.

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.

BrickletIMUV3`DEVICEDISPLAYNAME

This constant represents the human readable name of a IMU Bricklet 3.0.
