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

BrickletLCD128x64[uid, ipcon] → lcd128x64
Parameters:
  • uid – Type: String
  • ipcon – Type: NETObject[IPConnection]
Returns:
  • lcd128x64 – Type: NETObject[BrickletLCD128x64]

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

lcd128x64=NETNew["Tinkerforge.BrickletLCD128x64","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.

BrickletLCD128x64@WritePixels[xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd, {pixels1, pixels2, ...}] → Null
Parameters:
  • xStart – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yStart – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 63]
  • xEnd – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yEnd – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 63]
  • pixelsi – Type: True/False

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] → {pixels1, pixels2, ...}
Parameters:
  • xStart – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yStart – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 63]
  • xEnd – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 127]
  • yEnd – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 63]
Returns:
  • pixelsi – Type: True/False

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[] → Null

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] → Null
Parameters:
  • line – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 7]
  • position – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 21]
  • text – Type: String, Length: up to 22

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] → Null
Parameters:
  • forceCompleteRedraw – Type: True/False

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[out pressure, out x, out y, out age] → Null
Output Parameters:
  • pressure – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 300]
  • x – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 127]
  • y – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 63]
  • age – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the last valid touch position:

  • Pressure: Amount of pressure applied by the user
  • X: Touch position on x-axis
  • Y: Touch position on y-axis
  • Age: Age of touch press (how long ago it was)
BrickletLCD128x64@GetTouchGesture[out gesture, out duration, out pressureMax, out xStart, out yStart, out xEnd, out yEnd, out age] → Null
Output Parameters:
  • gesture – Type: Integer, Range: See constants
  • duration – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
  • pressureMax – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 300]

  • yEnd – Type: Integer, Range: [0 to 63]
  • age – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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 by assigning a function to a callback property of the device object:

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

AddEventHandler[lcd128x64@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.

BrickletLCD128x64@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]
    • 3: revision – Type: Integer, 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.

BrickletLCD128x64@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:

  • BrickletLCD128x64`FUNCTIONUWRITEUPIXELS = 1

BrickletLCD128x64@SetResponseExpectedAll[responseExpected] → Null
Parameters:
  • responseExpected – Type: True/False

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.

BrickletLCD128x64@SetBootloaderMode[mode] → status
Parameters:
  • mode – Type: Integer, Range: See constants
Returns:
  • status – Type: Integer, 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:

  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUBOOTLOADER = 0
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUFIRMWARE = 1
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUBOOTLOADERUWAITUFORUREBOOT = 2
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUFIRMWAREUWAITUFORUREBOOT = 3
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUFIRMWAREUWAITUFORUERASEUANDUREBOOT = 4

For status:

  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUSTATUSUOK = 0
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUSTATUSUINVALIDUMODE = 1
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUSTATUSUNOUCHANGE = 2
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUSTATUSUENTRYUFUNCTIONUNOTUPRESENT = 3
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUSTATUSUDEVICEUIDENTIFIERUINCORRECT = 4
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUSTATUSUCRCUMISMATCH = 5
BrickletLCD128x64@GetBootloaderMode[] → mode
Returns:
  • mode – Type: Integer, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see SetBootloaderMode[].

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUBOOTLOADER = 0
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUFIRMWARE = 1
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUBOOTLOADERUWAITUFORUREBOOT = 2
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUFIRMWAREUWAITUFORUREBOOT = 3
  • BrickletLCD128x64`BOOTLOADERUMODEUFIRMWAREUWAITUFORUERASEUANDUREBOOT = 4
BrickletLCD128x64@SetWriteFirmwarePointer[pointer] → Null
Parameters:
  • pointer – Type: Integer, 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.

BrickletLCD128x64@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.

BrickletLCD128x64@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.

BrickletLCD128x64@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

BrickletLCD128x64`DEVICEUIDENTIFIER

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

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.

BrickletLCD128x64`DEVICEDISPLAYNAME

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