      • setSPITFPBaudrateConfig

        public void setSPITFPBaudrateConfig​(boolean enableDynamicBaudrate,
                                            long minimumDynamicBaudrate)
                                     throws TinkerforgeException
        The SPITF protocol can be used with a dynamic baudrate. If the dynamic baudrate is enabled, the Isolator Bricklet will try to adapt the baudrate for the communication between Bricks and Bricklets according to the amount of data that is transferred. The baudrate for communication config between Brick and Isolator Bricklet can be set through the API of the Brick. 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(long). If the dynamic baudrate is disabled, the baudrate as set by setSPITFPBaudrate(long) will be used statically.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setSPITFPBaudrate

        public void setSPITFPBaudrate​(long baudrate)
                               throws TinkerforgeException
        Sets the baudrate for a the communication between Isolator Bricklet and the connected Bricklet. The baudrate for communication between Brick and Isolator Bricklet can be set through the API of the Brick. 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(boolean, long)). 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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setStatisticsCallbackConfiguration

        public void setStatisticsCallbackConfiguration​(long period,
                                                       boolean valueHasToChange)
                                                throws TinkerforgeException
        The period is the period with which the BrickletIsolator.StatisticsListener 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. .. versionadded:: 2.0.2$nbsp;(Plugin)
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • getSPITFPErrorCount

        public BrickletIsolator.SPITFPErrorCount getSPITFPErrorCount()
                                                              throws TinkerforgeException
        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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setBootloaderMode

        public int setBootloaderMode​(int mode)
                              throws TinkerforgeException
        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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setWriteFirmwarePointer

        public void setWriteFirmwarePointer​(long pointer)
                                     throws TinkerforgeException
        Sets the firmware pointer for writeFirmware(int[]). 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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • writeFirmware

        public int writeFirmware​(int[] data)
                          throws TinkerforgeException
        Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by setWriteFirmwarePointer(long) 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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setStatusLEDConfig

        public void setStatusLEDConfig​(int config)
                                throws TinkerforgeException
        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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • getChipTemperature

        public int getChipTemperature()
                               throws TinkerforgeException
        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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • reset

        public void reset()
                   throws TinkerforgeException
        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!
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • writeUID

        public void writeUID​(long uid)
                      throws TinkerforgeException
        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.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • getIdentity

        public Device.Identity getIdentity()
                                    throws TinkerforgeException
        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 :ref:`Isolator Bricklet <isolator_bricklet>` is always at position 'z'. The device identifier numbers can be found :ref:`here <device_identifier>`. |device_identifier_constant|
