API¶

The IMU Brick 2.0 API is defined in the package github.com/Tinkerforge/go-api-bindings/imu_v2_brick

Nearly every function of the Go bindings can return an ipconnection.DeviceError, implementing the error interface. The error can have one of the following values:

ipconnection.DeviceErrorSuccess = 0
ipconnection.DeviceErrorInvalidParameter = 1
ipconnection.DeviceErrorFunctionNotSupported = 2
ipconnection.DeviceErrorUnknownError = 3

which correspond to the values returned from Bricks and Bricklets.

All functions listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions¶

func imu_v2_brick.New(uid string, ipcon *IPConnection) (device IMUV2Brick, err error)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: string ipcon – Type: *IPConnection
Returns:	device – Type: IMUV2Brick err – Type: error

Creates a new IMUV2Brick object with the unique device ID uid and adds it to the IPConnection ipcon:

device, err := imu_v2_brick.New("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", &ipcon)

This device object can be used after the IPConnection has been connected.

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetOrientation() (heading int16, roll int16, pitch int16, err error)¶

Returns:	heading – Type: int16, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [0 to 5760] roll – Type: int16, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [-1440 to 1440] pitch – Type: int16, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [-2880 to 2880] err – Type: error

Returns the current orientation (heading, roll, pitch) of the IMU Brick as independent Euler angles. Note that Euler angles always experience a gimbal lock. We recommend that you use quaternions instead, if you need the absolute orientation.

If you want to get the orientation periodically, it is recommended to use the OrientationCallback callback and set the period with SetOrientationPeriod().

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetLinearAcceleration() (x int16, y int16, z int16, err error)¶

Returns:	x – Type: int16, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ? y – Type: int16, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ? z – Type: int16, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ? err – Type: error

Returns the linear acceleration of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis. The acceleration is in the range configured with SetSensorConfiguration().

The linear acceleration is the acceleration in each of the three axis of the IMU Brick with the influences of gravity removed.

It is also possible to get the gravity vector with the influence of linear acceleration removed, see GetGravityVector().

If you want to get the linear acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the LinearAccelerationCallback callback and set the period with SetLinearAccelerationPeriod().

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetGravityVector() (x int16, y int16, z int16, err error)¶

Returns:	x – Type: int16, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981] y – Type: int16, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981] z – Type: int16, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981] err – Type: error

Returns the current gravity vector of the IMU Brick for the x, y and z axis.

The gravity vector is the acceleration that occurs due to gravity. Influences of additional linear acceleration are removed.

It is also possible to get the linear acceleration with the influence of gravity removed, see GetLinearAcceleration().

If you want to get the gravity vector periodically, it is recommended to use the GravityVectorCallback callback and set the period with SetGravityVectorPeriod().

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetQuaternion() (w int16, x int16, y int16, z int16, err error)¶

Returns:	w – Type: int16, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1] x – Type: int16, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1] y – Type: int16, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1] z – Type: int16, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1] err – Type: error

Returns the current orientation (w, x, y, z) of the IMU Brick as quaternions.

You have to divide the return values by 16383 (14 bit) to get the usual range of -1.0 to +1.0 for quaternions.

If you want to get the quaternions periodically, it is recommended to use the QuaternionCallback callback and set the period with SetQuaternionPeriod().

acceleration (see GetAcceleration())
magnetic field (see GetMagneticField())
angular velocity (see GetAngularVelocity())
Euler angles (see GetOrientation())
quaternion (see GetQuaternion())
linear acceleration (see GetLinearAcceleration())
gravity vector (see GetGravityVector())
temperature (see GetTemperature())
calibration status (see below)

The calibration status consists of four pairs of two bits. Each pair of bits represents the status of the current calibration.

bit 0-1: Magnetometer
bit 2-3: Accelerometer
bit 4-5: Gyroscope
bit 6-7: System

A value of 0 means for "not calibrated" and a value of 3 means "fully calibrated". In your program you should always be able to ignore the calibration status, it is used by the calibration window of the Brick Viewer and it can be ignored after the first calibration. See the documentation in the calibration window for more information regarding the calibration of the IMU Brick.

If you want to get the data periodically, it is recommended to use the AllDataCallback callback and set the period with SetAllDataPeriod().

func (*IMUV2Brick) SetSensorFusionMode(mode uint8) (err error)¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: uint8, Range: See constants, Default: 1
Returns:	err – Type: error

If the fusion mode is turned off, the functions GetAcceleration(), GetMagneticField() and GetAngularVelocity() return uncalibrated and uncompensated sensor data. All other sensor data getters return no data.

Since firmware version 2.0.6 you can also use a fusion mode without magnetometer. In this mode the calculated orientation is relative (with magnetometer it is absolute with respect to the earth). However, the calculation can't be influenced by spurious magnetic fields.

Since firmware version 2.0.13 you can also use a fusion mode without fast magnetometer calibration. This mode is the same as the normal fusion mode, but the fast magnetometer calibration is turned off. So to find the orientation the first time will likely take longer, but small magnetic influences might not affect the automatic calibration as much.

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOff = 0
imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOn = 1
imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOnWithoutMagnetometer = 2
imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOnWithoutFastMagnetometerCalibration = 3

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetSensorFusionMode() (mode uint8, err error)¶

Returns:	mode – Type: uint8, Range: See constants, Default: 1 err – Type: error

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOff = 0
imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOn = 1
imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOnWithoutMagnetometer = 2
imu_v2_brick.SensorFusionOnWithoutFastMagnetometerCalibration = 3

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

func (*IMUV2Brick) SetSPITFPBaudrateConfig(enableDynamicBaudrate bool, minimumDynamicBaudrate uint32) (err error)¶

Parameters:	enableDynamicBaudrate – Type: bool, Default: true minimumDynamicBaudrate – Type: uint32, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 400000
Returns:	err – Type: error

The SPITF protocol can be used with a dynamic baudrate. If the dynamic baudrate is enabled, the Brick will try to adapt the baudrate for the communication between Bricks and Bricklets according to the amount of data that is transferred.

The baudrate will be increased exponentially if lots of data is sent/received and decreased linearly if little data is sent/received.

This lowers the baudrate in applications where little data is transferred (e.g. a weather station) and increases the robustness. If there is lots of data to transfer (e.g. Thermal Imaging Bricklet) it automatically increases the baudrate as needed.

In cases where some data has to transferred as fast as possible every few seconds (e.g. RS485 Bricklet with a high baudrate but small payload) you may want to turn the dynamic baudrate off to get the highest possible performance.

The maximum value of the baudrate can be set per port with the function SetSPITFPBaudrate(). If the dynamic baudrate is disabled, the baudrate as set by SetSPITFPBaudrate() will be used statically.

New in version 2.0.10 (Firmware).

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetSPITFPBaudrateConfig() (enableDynamicBaudrate bool, minimumDynamicBaudrate uint32, err error)¶

Returns:	enableDynamicBaudrate – Type: bool, Default: true minimumDynamicBaudrate – Type: uint32, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 400000 err – Type: error

Returns the baudrate config, see SetSPITFPBaudrateConfig().

New in version 2.0.10 (Firmware).

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetSendTimeoutCount(communicationMethod uint8) (timeoutCount uint32, err error)¶

Parameters:	communicationMethod – Type: uint8, Range: See constants
Returns:	timeoutCount – Type: uint32, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1] err – Type: error

Returns the timeout count for the different communication methods.

The methods 0-2 are available for all Bricks, 3-7 only for Master Bricks.

This function is mostly used for debugging during development, in normal operation the counters should nearly always stay at 0.

The following constants are available for this function:

For communicationMethod:

imu_v2_brick.CommunicationMethodNone = 0
imu_v2_brick.CommunicationMethodUSB = 1
imu_v2_brick.CommunicationMethodSPIStack = 2

Returns:	err – Type: error

Sets the baudrate for a specific Bricklet port.

If you want to increase the throughput of Bricklets you can increase the baudrate. If you get a high error count because of high interference (see GetSPITFPErrorCount()) you can decrease the baudrate.

If the dynamic baudrate feature is enabled, the baudrate set by this function corresponds to the maximum baudrate (see SetSPITFPBaudrateConfig()).

Regulatory testing is done with the default baudrate. If CE compatibility or similar is necessary in your applications we recommend to not change the baudrate.

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.

Returns:	apiVersion – Type: [3]uint8 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] err – Type: error

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.

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetResponseExpected(functionId uint8) (responseExpected bool, err error)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: uint8, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: bool err – Type: error

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:

func (*IMUV2Brick) SetResponseExpectedAll(responseExpected bool) (err error)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: bool
Returns:	err – Type: error

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.

func (*IMUV2Brick) GetProtocol1BrickletName(port rune) (protocolVersion uint8, firmwareVersion [3]uint8, name string, err error)¶

Parameters:	port – Type: rune, Range: ['a' to 'b']
Returns:	protocolVersion – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] firmwareVersion – Type: [3]uint8 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] name – Type: string, Length: up to 40 err – Type: error

Returns the firmware and protocol version and the name of the Bricklet for a given port.

This functions sole purpose is to allow automatic flashing of v1.x.y Bricklet plugins.

func (*IMUV2Brick) WriteBrickletPlugin(port rune, offset uint8, chunk [32]uint8) (err error)¶

Parameters:	port – Type: rune, Range: ['a' to 'b'] offset – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] chunk – Type: [32]uint8, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	err – Type: error

Writes 32 bytes of firmware to the bricklet attached at the given port. The bytes are written to the position offset * 32.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

func (*IMUV2Brick) ReadBrickletPlugin(port rune, offset uint8) (chunk [32]uint8, err error)¶

Parameters:	port – Type: rune, Range: ['a' to 'b'] offset – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	chunk – Type: [32]uint8, Range: [0 to 255] err – Type: error

Reads 32 bytes of firmware from the bricklet attached at the given port. The bytes are read starting at the position offset * 32.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

Constants¶

imu_v2_brick.DeviceIdentifier¶

This constant is used to identify a IMU Brick 2.0.

The GetIdentity() function and the (*IPConnection) RegisterEnumerateCallback callback of the IPConnection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

imu_v2_brick.DeviceDisplayName¶: This constant represents the human readable name of a IMU Brick 2.0.
