take several options:
--help
shows help for the specific dispatch
command and exits--list-callbacks
shows a list of known callbacks of the Piezo Speaker Bricklet 2.0 and exitspiezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> <function>
[<option>..] [<argument>..]¶Parameters: |
|
---|
The <function>
to be called can take different options depending of its
kind. All functions can take the following options:
--help
shows help for the specific function and exitsGetter functions can take the following options:
--execute <command>
shell command line to execute for each incoming
response (see section about output formatting
for details)Setter functions can take the following options:
--expect-response
requests response and waits for itThe --expect-response
option for setter functions allows to detect
timeouts and other error conditions calls of setters as well. The device will
then send a response for this purpose. If this option is not given for a
setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored,
because they cannot be detected.

<uid> set-beep
<frequency> <volume> <duration>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output: |
|
Beeps with the given frequency and volume for the duration.
A duration of 0 stops the current beep if any is ongoing. A duration of 4294967295 results in an infinite beep.
The following symbols are available for this function:
For <duration>:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> get-beep
¶Output: |
|
---|
Returns the last beep settings as set by set-beep
. If a beep is currently
running it also returns the remaining duration of the beep.
If the frequency or volume is updated during a beep (with update-frequency
or update-volume
) this function returns the updated value.
The following symbols are available for this function:
For duration:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> set-alarm
<start-frequency> <end-frequency> <step-size> <step-delay> <volume> <duration>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output: |
|
Creates an alarm (a tone that goes back and force between two specified frequencies).
The following parameters can be set:
A duration of 0 stops the current alarm if any is ongoing. A duration of 4294967295 results in an infinite alarm.
Below you can find two sets of example settings that you can try out. You can use these as a starting point to find an alarm signal that suits your application.
Example 1: 10 seconds of loud annoying fast alarm
Example 2: 10 seconds of soft siren sound with slow build-up
The following conditions must be met:
The following symbols are available for this function:
For <duration>:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> get-alarm
¶Output: |
|
---|
Returns the last alarm settings as set by set-alarm
. If an alarm is currently
running it also returns the remaining duration of the alarm as well as the
current frequency of the alarm.
If the volume is updated during an alarm (with update-volume
)
this function returns the updated value.
The following symbols are available for this function:
For duration:
For duration-remaining:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> update-volume
<volume>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output: |
|
Updates the volume of an ongoing beep or alarm.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> update-frequency
<frequency>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output: |
|
Updates the frequency of an ongoing beep.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> get-spitfp-error-count
¶Output: |
|
---|
Returns the error count for the communication between Brick and Bricklet.
The errors are divided into
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.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> set-status-led-config
<config>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
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>:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> get-status-led-config
¶Output: |
|
---|
Returns the configuration as set by set-status-led-config
The following symbols are available for this function:
For config:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> get-chip-temperature
¶Output: |
|
---|
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.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> reset
¶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!
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> get-identity
¶Output: |
|
---|
Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.
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.
Callbacks can be used to receive time critical or recurring data from the device:
tinkerforge dispatch piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet <uid> example
The available callbacks 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.
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.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> set-bootloader-mode
<mode>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output: |
|
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 symbols are available for this function:
For <mode>:
For status:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> get-bootloader-mode
¶Output: |
|
---|
Returns the current bootloader mode, see set-bootloader-mode
.
The following symbols are available for this function:
For mode:
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> set-write-firmware-pointer
<pointer>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
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.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> write-firmware
<data>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Output: |
|
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.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> write-uid
<uid>¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
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.
piezo-speaker-v2-bricklet
<uid> read-uid
¶Output: |
|
---|
Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.
