Command Structure¶

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

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <function> [<argument>..]¶

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

The call command is used to call a function of the XMC1400 Breakout 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 XMC1400 Breakout Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge dispatch xmc1400-breakout-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <callback>¶

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

The dispatch command is used to dispatch a callback of the XMC1400 Breakout 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 XMC1400 Breakout Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-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.

See set-adc-values-callback-configuration and adc-values callback.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> get-count¶

Output:	count – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Returns the value of the example count (see example.c).

This example function uses the "add_callback_value_function"-helper in the generator. The getter as well as the callback and callback configuration functions are auto-generated for the API as well as the firmware.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the count callback. You can set the callback configuration with set-count-callback-configuration.

Advanced Functions¶

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> get-spitfp-error-count¶

Output:	error-count-ack-checksum – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error-count-message-checksum – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error-count-frame – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1] error-count-overflow – Type: Int, 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.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> set-status-led-config <config>¶

Parameters:	<config> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3
Output:	no 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>:

• status-led-config-off = 0
• status-led-config-on = 1
• status-led-config-show-heartbeat = 2
• status-led-config-show-status = 3

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> get-status-led-config¶

Output:	config – Type: Int, Range: See symbols, Default: 3

Returns the configuration as set by set-status-led-config

The following symbols are available for this function:

For config:

• status-led-config-off = 0
• status-led-config-on = 1
• status-led-config-show-heartbeat = 2
• status-led-config-show-status = 3

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> get-chip-temperature¶

Output:	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.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> reset¶

Output:	no 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!

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-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 xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> set-adc-values-callback-configuration <period> <value-has-to-change>¶

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

The period is the period with which the adc-values callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

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

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

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> get-adc-values-callback-configuration¶

Output:	period – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 value-has-to-change – Type: Bool, Default: false

Returns the callback configuration as set by set-adc-values-callback-configuration.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> set-count-callback-configuration <period> <value-has-to-change> <option> <min> <max>¶

Parameters:	<period> – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 <value-has-to-change> – Type: Bool, Default: false <option> – Type: Char, Range: See symbols, Default: x <min> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 <max> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0
Output:	no output

The period is the period with which the count callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

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

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

It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.

The option-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the count callback.

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 callback is triggered with the fixed period.

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 xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> get-count-callback-configuration¶

Output:	period – Type: Int, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 value-has-to-change – Type: Bool, Default: false option – Type: Char, Range: See symbols, Default: x min – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0

Returns the callback configuration as set by set-count-callback-configuration.

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 = >

Callbacks¶

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

tinkerforge dispatch xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> example

The available callbacks are described below.

tinkerforge dispatch xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> adc-values¶

Output:	values – Type: Int Array, Length: 8, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by set-adc-values-callback-configuration.

The parameters are the same as get-adc-values.

tinkerforge dispatch xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> count¶

Output:	count – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by set-count-callback-configuration.

The parameter is the same as get-count.

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.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> set-bootloader-mode <mode>¶

Parameters:	<mode> – Type: Int, Range: See symbols
Output:	status – Type: Int, Range: See symbols

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>:

• bootloader-mode-bootloader = 0
• bootloader-mode-firmware = 1
• bootloader-mode-bootloader-wait-for-reboot = 2
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-reboot = 3
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-erase-and-reboot = 4

For status:

• bootloader-status-ok = 0
• bootloader-status-invalid-mode = 1
• bootloader-status-no-change = 2
• bootloader-status-entry-function-not-present = 3
• bootloader-status-device-identifier-incorrect = 4
• bootloader-status-crc-mismatch = 5

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> get-bootloader-mode¶

Output:	mode – Type: Int, Range: See symbols

Returns the current bootloader mode, see set-bootloader-mode.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

• bootloader-mode-bootloader = 0
• bootloader-mode-firmware = 1
• bootloader-mode-bootloader-wait-for-reboot = 2
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-reboot = 3
• bootloader-mode-firmware-wait-for-erase-and-reboot = 4

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> set-write-firmware-pointer <pointer>¶

Parameters:	<pointer> – Type: Int, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Output:	no 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.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> write-firmware <data>¶

Parameters:	<data> – Type: Int Array, Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Output:	status – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 255]

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.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> write-uid <uid>¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]
Output:	no 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.

tinkerforge call xmc1400-breakout-bricklet <uid> read-uid¶

Output:	uid – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

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