API¶

Generally, every method of the Java bindings that returns a value can throw a 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 unplugs the device). However, if a wireless connection is used, timeouts will occur if the distance to the device gets too big.

Beside the TimeoutException there is also a NotConnectedException that is thrown if a method needs to communicate with the device while the IP Connection is not connected.

Since Java does not support multiple return values and return by reference is not possible for primitive types, we use small classes that only consist of member variables. The member variables of the returned objects are described in the corresponding method descriptions.

The package for all Brick/Bricklet bindings and the IP Connection is com.tinkerforge.*

All methods listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions¶

class BrickletThermocoupleV2(String uid, IPConnection ipcon)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: String ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:	thermocoupleV2 – Type: BrickletThermocoupleV2

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

BrickletThermocoupleV2 thermocoupleV2 = new BrickletThermocoupleV2("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

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

int BrickletThermocoupleV2.getTemperature()¶

Returns:	temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-21000 to 180000]

Returns the temperature of the thermocouple. The value is given in °C/100, e.g. a value of 4223 means that a temperature of 42.23 °C is measured.

If you want to get the temperature periodically, it is recommended to use the TemperatureListener listener and set the period with setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the TemperatureListener listener. You can set the listener configuration with setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

Advanced Functions¶

void BrickletThermocoupleV2.setConfiguration(int averaging, int thermocoupleType, int filter)¶

Parameters:	averaging – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 16 thermocoupleType – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3 filter – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 0

You can configure averaging size, thermocouple type and frequency filtering.

Available averaging sizes are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 samples.

As thermocouple type you can use B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T. If you have a different thermocouple or a custom thermocouple you can also use G8 and G32. With these types the returned value will not be in °C/100, it will be calculated by the following formulas:

G8: value = 8 * 1.6 * 2^17 * Vin
G32: value = 32 * 1.6 * 2^17 * Vin

where Vin is the thermocouple input voltage.

The frequency filter can be either configured to 50Hz or to 60Hz. You should configure it according to your utility frequency.

The conversion time depends on the averaging and filter configuration, it can be calculated as follows:

60Hz: time = 82 + (samples - 1) * 16.67
50Hz: time = 98 + (samples - 1) * 20

The following constants are available for this function:

For averaging:

BrickletThermocoupleV2.AVERAGING_1 = 1
BrickletThermocoupleV2.AVERAGING_2 = 2
BrickletThermocoupleV2.AVERAGING_4 = 4
BrickletThermocoupleV2.AVERAGING_8 = 8
BrickletThermocoupleV2.AVERAGING_16 = 16

BrickletThermocoupleV2.ErrorState BrickletThermocoupleV2.getErrorState()¶

Return Object:	overUnder – Type: boolean openCircuit – Type: boolean

Returns the current error state. There are two possible errors:

Over/Under Voltage and
Open Circuit.

Over/Under Voltage happens for voltages below 0V or above 3.3V. In this case it is very likely that your thermocouple is defective. An Open Circuit error indicates that there is no thermocouple connected.

You can use the ErrorStateListener listener to automatically get triggered when the error state changes.

BrickletThermocoupleV2.SPITFPErrorCount BrickletThermocoupleV2.getSPITFPErrorCount()¶

Return Object:	errorCountAckChecksum – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountMessageChecksum – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountFrame – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] errorCountOverflow – Type: long, 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.

void BrickletThermocoupleV2.setStatusLEDConfig(int config)¶

Parameters:	config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3

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 constants are available for this function:

For config:

BrickletThermocoupleV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
BrickletThermocoupleV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
BrickletThermocoupleV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
BrickletThermocoupleV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int BrickletThermocoupleV2.getStatusLEDConfig()¶

Returns:	config – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 3

BrickletThermocoupleV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
BrickletThermocoupleV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
BrickletThermocoupleV2.STATUS_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_STATUS = 3

int BrickletThermocoupleV2.getChipTemperature()¶

Returns:	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.

void BrickletThermocoupleV2.reset()¶

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!

BrickletThermocoupleV2.Identity BrickletThermocoupleV2.getIdentity()¶

Return Object:

Return Object:	uid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 connectedUid – Type: String, Length: up to 8 position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardwareVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] firmwareVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] deviceIdentifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 2¹⁶ - 1]

2: revision – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255]

deviceIdentifier – 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. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

Listener Configuration Functions¶

void BrickletThermocoupleV2.setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration(long period, boolean valueHasToChange, char option, int min, int max)¶

Parameters:	period – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' min – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-2³¹ to 2³¹ - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-2³¹ to 2³¹ - 1], Default: 0

The period is the period with which the TemperatureListener listener is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the listener off.

If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the listener is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the listener is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the listener is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

It is furthermore possible to constrain the listener with thresholds.

The option-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the TemperatureListener listener.

The following options are possible:

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

If the option is set to 'x' (threshold turned off) the listener is triggered with the fixed period.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

BrickletThermocoupleV2.TemperatureCallbackConfiguration BrickletThermocoupleV2.getTemperatureCallbackConfiguration()¶

Return Object:	period – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: boolean, Default: false option – Type: char, Range: See constants, Default: 'x' min – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-2³¹ to 2³¹ - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-2³¹ to 2³¹ - 1], Default: 0

Returns the listener configuration as set by setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = 'x'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = 'o'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = 'i'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_SMALLER = '<'
BrickletThermocoupleV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_GREATER = '>'

Listeners¶

Listeners can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with add*Listener() functions of the device object.

The parameter is a listener class object, for example:

device.addExampleListener(new BrickletThermocoupleV2.ExampleListener() {
    public void property(int value) {
        System.out.println("Value: " + value);
    }
});

The available listener classes with inherent methods to be overwritten are described below. It is possible to add several listeners and to remove them with the corresponding remove*Listener() function.

Note

Using listeners 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.

class BrickletThermocoupleV2.TemperatureListener()¶

This listener can be added with the addTemperatureListener() function. An added listener can be removed with the removeTemperatureListener() function.

void temperature(int temperature)

Parameters:	temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1/100 °C, Range: [-21000 to 180000]

This listener is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by setTemperatureCallbackConfiguration().

The parameter is the same as getTemperature().

class BrickletThermocoupleV2.ErrorStateListener()¶

This listener can be added with the addErrorStateListener() function. An added listener can be removed with the removeErrorStateListener() function.

void errorState(boolean overUnder, boolean openCircuit)

Parameters:	overUnder – Type: boolean openCircuit – Type: boolean

This Listener is triggered every time the error state changes (see getErrorState()).

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.

short[] BrickletThermocoupleV2.getAPIVersion()¶

Return Object:	apiVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: short, 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.

boolean BrickletThermocoupleV2.getResponseExpected(byte functionId)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, 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 listener 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:

BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 5
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_RESET = 243
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

void BrickletThermocoupleV2.setResponseExpected(byte functionId, boolean responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: boolean

Changes the response expected flag of the function specified by the function ID parameter. This flag can only be changed for setter (default value: false) and listener configuration functions (default value: true). For getter functions it is always enabled.

The following constants are available for this function:

For functionId:

BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_TEMPERATURE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_CONFIGURATION = 5
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_WRITE_FIRMWARE_POINTER = 237
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_SET_STATUS_LED_CONFIG = 239
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_RESET = 243
BrickletThermocoupleV2.FUNCTION_WRITE_UID = 248

void BrickletThermocoupleV2.setResponseExpectedAll(boolean responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and listener 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.

int BrickletThermocoupleV2.setBootloaderMode(int mode)¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: int, 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:

BrickletThermocoupleV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0

void BrickletThermocoupleV2.setWriteFirmwarePointer(long pointer)¶

Parameters:	pointer – Type: long, 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.

int BrickletThermocoupleV2.writeFirmware(int[] data)¶

Parameters:	data – Type: int[], Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	status – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.

long BrickletThermocoupleV2.readUID()¶

Returns:	uid – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

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

Constants¶

int BrickletThermocoupleV2.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶
