tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> set-out-led-config <config>¶

Parameters:	<config> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3
Output:	no output

You can turn the Out LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to "Out Status". In this mode the LED can either be turned on with a pre-defined threshold or the intensity of the LED can change with the output value (voltage or current).

You can configure the channel status behavior with set-out-led-status-config.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For <config>:

• out-led-config-off = 0
• out-led-config-on = 1
• out-led-config-show-heartbeat = 2
• out-led-config-show-out-status = 3

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> get-out-led-config¶

Output:	config – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3

Returns the Out LED configuration as set by set-out-led-config

The following symbols are available for this function:

For config:

• out-led-config-off = 0
• out-led-config-on = 1
• out-led-config-show-heartbeat = 2
• out-led-config-show-out-status = 3

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> set-out-led-status-config <min> <max> <config>¶

Parameters:	<min> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 24000], Default: 0 <max> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 24000], Default: 10000 <config> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 1
Output:	no output

Sets the Out LED status config. This config is used if the Out LED is configured as "Out Status", see set-out-led-config.

For each channel you can choose between threshold and intensity mode.

In threshold mode you can define a positive or a negative threshold. For a positive threshold set the "min" parameter to the threshold value in mV or µA above which the LED should turn on and set the "max" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 5V, the LED will turn on as soon as the output value exceeds 5V and turn off again if it goes below 5V. For a negative threshold set the "max" parameter to the threshold value in mV or µA below which the LED should turn on and set the "min" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 5V, the LED will turn on as soon as the output value goes below 5V and the LED will turn off when the output value exceeds 5V.

In intensity mode you can define a range mV or µA that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=2V, max=8V: The LED is off at 2V and below, on at 8V and above and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 2V and 8V. If the min value is greater than the max value, the LED brightness is scaled the other way around.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For <config>:

• out-led-status-config-threshold = 0
• out-led-status-config-intensity = 1

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> get-out-led-status-config¶

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> get-spitfp-error-count¶

Output:	error-count-ack-checksum – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error-count-message-checksum – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error-count-frame – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error-count-overflow – Type: Int, 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.

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> set-status-led-config <config>¶

Parameters:	<config> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3
Output:	no output

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 symbols are available for this function:

For <config>:

• status-led-config-off = 0
• status-led-config-on = 1

Output:	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.

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> reset¶

Output:	no output

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!

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. 

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.

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> set-bootloader-mode <mode>¶

Parameters:	<mode> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols
Output:	status – Type: Int, Range: See symbols

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 symbols are available for this function:

For <mode>:

• bootloader-mode-bootloader = 0
• bootloader-mode-firmware = 1
• bootloader-mode-bootloader-wait-for-reboot = 2

Parameters:	<pointer> – Type: Int, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Output:	no output

Sets the firmware pointer for write-firmware. 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.

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> write-firmware <data>¶

Parameters:	<data> – Type: Int Array, Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Output:	status – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255]

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by set-write-firmware-pointer 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.

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> write-uid <uid>¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Output:	no output

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.

tinkerforge call industrial-analog-out-v2-bricklet <uid> read-uid¶

Output:	uid – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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