Basic Functions¶

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_orientation¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	heading – Type: int, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [0 to 5760] roll – Type: int, Unit: 1/16 °, Range: [-1440 to 1440] pitch – Type: int, 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 register/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/orientation callback and set the period with request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_orientation_period.

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_linear_acceleration¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	x – Type: int, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ? y – Type: int, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: ? z – Type: int, 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 request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_sensor_configuration.

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 request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_gravity_vector.

If you want to get the linear acceleration periodically, it is recommended to use the register/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/linear_acceleration callback and set the period with request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_linear_acceleration_period.

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_gravity_vector¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	x – Type: int, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981] y – Type: int, Unit: 1 cm/s², Range: [-981 to 981] z – Type: int, 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 request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_linear_acceleration.

If you want to get the gravity vector periodically, it is recommended to use the register/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/gravity_vector callback and set the period with request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_gravity_vector_period.

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_quaternion¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	w – Type: int, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-214 + 1 to 214 - 1] x – Type: int, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-214 + 1 to 214 - 1] y – Type: int, Unit: 1/16383, Range: [-214 + 1 to 214 - 1] z – Type: int, 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 register/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/quaternion callback and set the period with request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_quaternion_period.

Return all of the available data of the IMU Brick.

• acceleration (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_acceleration)
• magnetic field (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_magnetic_field)
• angular velocity (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_angular_velocity)
• Euler angles (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_orientation)
• quaternion (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_quaternion)
• linear acceleration (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_linear_acceleration)
• gravity vector (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_gravity_vector)
• temperature (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_temperature)
• 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 register/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/all_data callback and set the period with request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_all_data_period.

Request:	empty payload
Response:	temperature – Type: int, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-128 to 127]

Returns the temperature of the IMU Brick. The temperature is measured in the core of the BNO055 IC, it is not the ambient temperature

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/save_calibration¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	calibration_done – Type: bool

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_sensor_fusion_mode¶

Request:	mode – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 1
Response:	no response

If the fusion mode is turned off, the functions request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_acceleration, request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_magnetic_field and request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_angular_velocity 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 symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

• "off" = 0
• "on" = 1
• "on_without_magnetometer" = 2
• "on_without_fast_magnetometer_calibration" = 3

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_sensor_fusion_mode¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	mode – Type: int, Range: See symbols, Default: 1

Returns the sensor fusion mode as set by request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_sensor_fusion_mode.

The following symbols are available for this function:

For mode:

• "off" = 0
• "on" = 1
• "on_without_magnetometer" = 2
• "on_without_fast_magnetometer_calibration" = 3

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_spitfp_baudrate_config¶

Request:	enable_dynamic_baudrate – Type: bool, Default: true minimum_dynamic_baudrate – Type: int, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 400000
Response:	no response

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 request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_spitfp_baudrate. If the dynamic baudrate is disabled, the baudrate as set by request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_spitfp_baudrate will be used statically.

New in version 2.0.10 (Firmware).

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_spitfp_baudrate_config¶

Request:	empty payload
Response:	enable_dynamic_baudrate – Type: bool, Default: true minimum_dynamic_baudrate – Type: int, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 400000

Returns the baudrate config, see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_spitfp_baudrate_config.

New in version 2.0.10 (Firmware).

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_send_timeout_count¶

Request:	communication_method – Type: int, Range: See symbols
Response:	timeout_count – Type: int, 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 symbols are available for this function:

For communication_method:

• "none" = 0
• "usb" = 1
• "spi_stack" = 2
• "chibi" = 3
• "rs485" = 4
• "wifi" = 5
• "ethernet" = 6
• "wifi_v2" = 7

New in version 2.0.7 (Firmware).

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_spitfp_baudrate¶

Request:	bricklet_port – Type: char, Range: ["a" to "b"] baudrate – Type: int, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 1400000
Response:	no response

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 request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_spitfp_error_count) you can decrease the baudrate.

If the dynamic baudrate feature is enabled, the baudrate set by this function corresponds to the maximum baudrate (see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_spitfp_baudrate_config).

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).

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_spitfp_baudrate¶

Request:	bricklet_port – Type: char, Range: ["a" to "b"]
Response:	baudrate – Type: int, Unit: 1 Bd, Range: [400000 to 2000000], Default: 1400000

Returns the baudrate for a given Bricklet port, see request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/set_spitfp_baudrate.

New in version 2.0.5 (Firmware).

request/imu_v2_brick/<UID>/get_spitfp_error_count¶

Request:	bricklet_port – Type: char, Range: ["a" to "b"]
Response:	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 Brick side. All Bricklets have a similar function that returns the errors on the Bricklet side.
