API

Generally, every function of the JavaScript bindings can take two optional parameters, returnCallback and errorCallback. These are two user defined callback functions. The returnCallback function is called with the results as arguments, if the function returns its results asynchronously. The errorCallback is called with an error code in case of an error. The error code can be one of the following values:

  • IPConnection.ERROR_ALREADY_CONNECTED = 11
  • IPConnection.ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED = 12
  • IPConnection.ERROR_CONNECT_FAILED = 13
  • IPConnection.ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION_ID = 21
  • IPConnection.ERROR_TIMEOUT = 31
  • IPConnection.ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER = 41
  • IPConnection.ERROR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED = 42
  • IPConnection.ERROR_UNKNOWN_ERROR = 43
  • IPConnection.ERROR_STREAM_OUT_OF_SYNC = 51
  • IPConnection.ERROR_NON_ASCII_CHAR_IN_SECRET = 71
  • IPConnection.ERROR_WRONG_DEVICE_TYPE = 81
  • IPConnection.ERROR_DEVICE_REPLACED = 82
  • IPConnection.ERROR_WRONG_RESPONSE_LENGTH = 83
  • IPConnection.ERROR_INT64_NOT_SUPPORTED = 91

The namespace for the JavaScript bindings is Tinkerforge.*.

Basic Functions

new BrickletLCD128x64(uid, ipcon)
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: string
  • ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:
  • lcd128x64 – Type: BrickletLCD128x64

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

var lcd128x64 = new BrickletLCD128x64("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

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

BrickletLCD128x64.writePixels(xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd, pixels[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • xStart – Type: int, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yStart – Type: int, Range: [0 to 63]
  • xEnd – Type: int, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yEnd – Type: int, Range: [0 to 63]
  • pixels – Type: [boolean, ...], Length: variable
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

Writes pixels to the specified window.

The pixels are written into the window line by line top to bottom and each line is written from left to right.

If automatic draw is enabled (default) the pixels are directly written to the screen. Only pixels that have actually changed are updated on the screen, the rest stays the same.

If automatic draw is disabled the pixels are written to an internal buffer and the buffer is transferred to the display only after drawBufferedFrame() is called. This can be used to avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in multiple steps.

Automatic draw can be configured with the setDisplayConfiguration() function.

BrickletLCD128x64.readPixels(xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • xStart – Type: int, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yStart – Type: int, Range: [0 to 63]
  • xEnd – Type: int, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yEnd – Type: int, Range: [0 to 63]
Callback Parameters:
  • pixels – Type: [boolean, ...], Length: variable
Returns:
  • undefined

Reads pixels from the specified window.

The pixels are read from the window line by line top to bottom and each line is read from left to right.

If automatic draw is enabled (default) the pixels that are read are always the same that are shown on the display.

If automatic draw is disabled the pixels are read from the internal buffer (see drawBufferedFrame()).

Automatic draw can be configured with the setDisplayConfiguration() function.

BrickletLCD128x64.clearDisplay([returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

Clears the complete content of the display.

If automatic draw is enabled (default) the pixels are directly cleared.

If automatic draw is disabled the the internal buffer is cleared and the buffer is transferred to the display only after drawBufferedFrame() is called. This can be used to avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in multiple steps.

Automatic draw can be configured with the setDisplayConfiguration() function.

BrickletLCD128x64.writeLine(line, position, text[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • line – Type: int, Range: [0 to 7]
  • position – Type: int, Range: [0 to 21]
  • text – Type: string, Length: up to 22
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

Writes text to a specific line with a specific position.

For example: (1, 10, "Hello") will write Hello in the middle of the second line of the display.

The display uses a special 5x7 pixel charset. You can view the characters of the charset in Brick Viewer.

If automatic draw is enabled (default) the text is directly written to the screen. Only pixels that have actually changed are updated on the screen, the rest stays the same.

If automatic draw is disabled the text is written to an internal buffer and the buffer is transferred to the display only after drawBufferedFrame() is called. This can be used to avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in multiple steps.

Automatic draw can be configured with the setDisplayConfiguration() function.

This function is a 1:1 replacement for the function with the same name in the LCD 20x4 Bricklet. You can draw text at a specific pixel position and with different font sizes with the drawText() function.

BrickletLCD128x64.drawBufferedFrame(forceCompleteRedraw[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • forceCompleteRedraw – Type: boolean
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

Draws the currently buffered frame. Normally each call of writePixels() and writeLine() draws directly onto the display. If you turn automatic draw off (setDisplayConfiguration()), the data is written in an internal buffer and only transferred to the display by calling this function. This can be used to avoid flicker when drawing a complex frame in multiple steps.

Set the force complete redraw to true to redraw the whole display instead of only the changed parts. Normally it should not be necessary to set this to true. It may only become necessary in case of stuck pixels because of errors.

BrickletLCD128x64.getTouchPosition([returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Callback Parameters:
  • pressure – Type: int, Range: [0 to 300]
  • x – Type: int, Range: [0 to 127]

  • undefined

Returns one of four touch gestures that can be automatically detected by the Bricklet.

The gestures are swipes from left to right, right to left, top to bottom and bottom to top.

Additionally to the gestures a vector with a start and end position of the gesture is provided. You can use this vector do determine a more exact location of the gesture (e.g. the swipe from top to bottom was on the left or right part of the screen).

Callbacks

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the on() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function:

lcd128x64.on(BrickletLCD128x64.CALLBACK_EXAMPLE,
    function (param) {
        console.log(param);
    }
);

The available constants with inherent number and 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.

BrickletLCD128x64.getAPIVersion()
Returns:
  • apiVersion – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

BrickletLCD128x64.getResponseExpected(functionId[, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • functionId – Type: int, 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.

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.

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.

BrickletLCD128x64.setBootloaderMode(mode[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • mode – Type: int, Range: See constants
Callback Parameters:
  • status – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • undefined

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:

  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5
BrickletLCD128x64.getBootloaderMode([returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Callback Parameters:
  • mode – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • undefined

Returns the current bootloader mode, see setBootloaderMode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
  • BrickletLCD128x64.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4
BrickletLCD128x64.setWriteFirmwarePointer(pointer[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • pointer – Type: int, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

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.

BrickletLCD128x64.writeFirmware(data[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • data – Type: [int, ...], Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Callback Parameters:
  • status – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:
  • undefined

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.

BrickletLCD128x64.writeUID(uid[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Callback Parameters:
  • undefined
Returns:
  • undefined

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.

BrickletLCD128x64.readUID([returnCallback][, errorCallback])
Callback Parameters:
  • uid – Type: int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Returns:
  • undefined

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

Constants

BrickletLCD128x64.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER

This constant is used to identify a LCD 128x64 Bricklet.

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

BrickletLCD128x64.DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME

This constant represents the human readable name of a LCD 128x64 Bricklet.
