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 BrickIMUV2(String uid, IPConnection ipcon)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: String ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:	imuV2 – Type: BrickIMUV2

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

BrickIMUV2 imuV2 = new BrickIMUV2("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

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

BrickIMUV2.Orientation BrickIMUV2.getOrientation()¶

Return Object:	heading – Type: short, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [0 to 5760] roll – Type: short, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [-1440 to 1440] pitch – Type: short, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [-2880 to 2880]

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 OrientationListener listener and set the period with setOrientationPeriod().

BrickIMUV2.LinearAcceleration BrickIMUV2.getLinearAcceleration()¶

Return Object:	x – Type: short, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ? y – Type: short, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ? z – Type: short, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ?

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 LinearAccelerationListener listener and set the period with setLinearAccelerationPeriod().

BrickIMUV2.GravityVector BrickIMUV2.getGravityVector()¶

Return Object:	x – Type: short, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981] y – Type: short, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981] z – Type: short, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981]

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 GravityVectorListener listener and set the period with setGravityVectorPeriod().

BrickIMUV2.Quaternion BrickIMUV2.getQuaternion()¶

Return Object:	w – Type: short, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1] x – Type: short, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1] y – Type: short, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1] z – Type: short, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-2¹⁴ + 1 to 2¹⁴ - 1]

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 QuaternionListener listener and set the period with setQuaternionPeriod().

Return all of the available data of the IMU Brick.

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 AllDataListener listener and set the period with setAllDataPeriod().

void BrickIMUV2.ledsOn()¶: Turns the orientation and direction LEDs of the IMU Brick on.

void BrickIMUV2.ledsOff()¶: Turns the orientation and direction LEDs of the IMU Brick off.

boolean BrickIMUV2.areLedsOn()¶

Returns:	leds – Type: boolean, Default: true

Returns true if the orientation and direction LEDs of the IMU Brick are on, false otherwise.

boolean BrickIMUV2.saveCalibration()¶

Returns:	calibrationDone – Type: boolean

A call of this function saves the current calibration to be used as a starting point for the next restart of continuous calibration of the IMU Brick.

A return value of true means that the calibration could be used and false means that it could not be used (this happens if the calibration status is not "fully calibrated").

This function is used by the calibration window of the Brick Viewer, you should not need to call it in your program.

void BrickIMUV2.setSensorFusionMode(short mode)¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: short, Range: See constants, Default: 1

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:

BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_OFF = 0
BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_ON = 1
BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_ON_WITHOUT_MAGNETOMETER = 2
BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_ON_WITHOUT_FAST_MAGNETOMETER_CALIBRATION = 3

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

short BrickIMUV2.getSensorFusionMode()¶

Returns:	mode – Type: short, Range: See constants, Default: 1

Returns the sensor fusion mode as set by setSensorFusionMode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_OFF = 0
BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_ON = 1
BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_ON_WITHOUT_MAGNETOMETER = 2
BrickIMUV2.SENSOR_FUSION_ON_WITHOUT_FAST_MAGNETOMETER_CALIBRATION = 3

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

void BrickIMUV2.setSPITFPBaudrateConfig(boolean enableDynamicBaudrate, long minimumDynamicBaudrate)¶

Parameters:	enableDynamicBaudrate – Type: boolean, Default: true minimumDynamicBaudrate – Type: long, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 400000

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).

BrickIMUV2.SPITFPBaudrateConfig BrickIMUV2.getSPITFPBaudrateConfig()¶

Return Object:	enableDynamicBaudrate – Type: boolean, Default: true minimumDynamicBaudrate – Type: long, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 400000

Returns the baudrate config, see setSPITFPBaudrateConfig().

long BrickIMUV2.getSendTimeoutCount(short communicationMethod)¶

Parameters:	communicationMethod – Type: short, Range: See constants
Returns:	timeoutCount – Type: long, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

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:

BrickIMUV2.COMMUNICATION_METHOD_NONE = 0
BrickIMUV2.COMMUNICATION_METHOD_USB = 1
BrickIMUV2.COMMUNICATION_METHOD_SPI_STACK = 2

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.

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

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 BrickIMUV2.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.

boolean BrickIMUV2.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:

BrickIMUV2.FUNCTION_LEDS_ON = 10
BrickIMUV2.FUNCTION_LEDS_OFF = 11
