Command Structure¶

The common options of the call and dispatch commands are documented here. The specific command structure is shown below.

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <function> [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

The call command is used to call a function of the Sound Intensity Bricklet. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific call command and exits
• --list-functions shows a list of known functions of the Sound Intensity Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge dispatch sound-intensity-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <callback>¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The dispatch command is used to dispatch a callback of the Sound Intensity Bricklet. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific dispatch command and exits
• --list-callbacks shows a list of known callbacks of the Sound Intensity Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> <function> [<option>..] [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

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 exits

Getter 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 it

The --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.

tinkerforge dispatch sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> <callback> [<option>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The <callback> to be dispatched can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific callback and exits
• --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

Basic Functions¶

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> get-intensity¶

Output:	intensity – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

Returns the current sound intensity.

The value corresponds to the upper envelop of the signal of the microphone capsule.

If you want to get the intensity periodically, it is recommended to use the intensity callback and set the period with set-intensity-callback-period.

Advanced Functions¶

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> get-identity¶

Output:

uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 connected-uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 position – Type: Char, Range: [a to h, z] hardware-version – Type: Int Array, Length: 3 0: major – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] firmware-version – Type: Int Array, Length: 3 0: major – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255] device-identifier – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

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. 

Callback Configuration Functions¶

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> set-intensity-callback-period <period>¶

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

Sets the period with which the intensity callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

The intensity callback is only triggered if the intensity has changed since the last triggering.

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> get-intensity-callback-period¶

Output:	period – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the period as set by set-intensity-callback-period.

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> set-intensity-callback-threshold <option> <min> <max>¶

Parameters:	<option> – Type: Char, Range: See symbols, Default: x <min> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0 <max> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0
Output:	no output

Sets the thresholds for the intensity-reached callback.

The following options are possible:

Option	Description
'x'	Callback is turned off
'o'	Callback is triggered when the intensity is outside the min and max values
'i'	Callback is triggered when the intensity is inside the min and max values
'<'	Callback is triggered when the intensity is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)
'>'	Callback is triggered when the intensity is greater than the min value (max is ignored)

The following symbols are available for this function:

For <option>:

• threshold-option-off = x
• threshold-option-outside = o
• threshold-option-inside = i
• threshold-option-smaller = <
• threshold-option-greater = >

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> get-intensity-callback-threshold¶

Output:	option – Type: Char, Range: See symbols, Default: x min – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the threshold as set by set-intensity-callback-threshold.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For option:

• threshold-option-off = x
• threshold-option-outside = o
• threshold-option-inside = i
• threshold-option-smaller = <
• threshold-option-greater = >

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> set-debounce-period <debounce>¶

Parameters:	<debounce> – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100
Output:	no output

Sets the period with which the threshold callback

• intensity-reached

is triggered, if the thresholds

• set-intensity-callback-threshold

keeps being reached.

tinkerforge call sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> get-debounce-period¶

Output:	debounce – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100

Returns the debounce period as set by set-debounce-period.

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be used to receive time critical or recurring data from the device:

tinkerforge dispatch sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> example

The available callbacks are described below.

tinkerforge dispatch sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> intensity¶

Output:	intensity – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by set-intensity-callback-period. The parameter is the intensity of the sensor.

The intensity callback is only triggered if the intensity has changed since the last triggering.

tinkerforge dispatch sound-intensity-bricklet <uid> intensity-reached¶

Output:	intensity – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by set-intensity-callback-threshold is reached. The parameter is the intensity of the encoder.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by set-debounce-period.
