                                  IPConnection ipcon)
        Creates an object with the unique device ID \c uid. and adds it to the IP Connection \c ipcon.
    • Method Detail

      • setWeightCallbackConfiguration

        public void setWeightCallbackConfiguration​(long period,
                                                   boolean valueHasToChange,
                                                   char option,
                                                   int min,
                                                   int max)
                                            throws TinkerforgeException
        The period is the period with which the BrickletLoadCellV2.WeightListener 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. It is furthermore possible to constrain the listener with thresholds. The `option`-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the BrickletLoadCellV2.WeightListener listener. The following options are possible: \verbatim "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)" \endverbatim If the option is set to 'x' (threshold turned off) the listener is triggered with the fixed period.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setMovingAverage

        public void setMovingAverage​(int average)
                              throws TinkerforgeException
        Sets the length of a `moving averaging <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average>`__ for the weight value. Setting the length to 1 will turn the averaging off. With less averaging, there is more noise on the data.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setInfoLEDConfig

        public void setInfoLEDConfig​(int config)
                              throws TinkerforgeException
        Configures the info LED to be either turned off, turned on, or blink in heartbeat mode.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • calibrate

        public void calibrate​(long weight)
                       throws TinkerforgeException
        To calibrate your Load Cell Bricklet 2.0 you have to * empty the scale and call this function with 0 and * add a known weight to the scale and call this function with the weight. The calibration is saved in the flash of the Bricklet and only needs to be done once. We recommend to use the Brick Viewer for calibration, you don't need to call this function in your source code.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • setConfiguration

        public void setConfiguration​(int rate,
                                     int gain)
                              throws TinkerforgeException
        The measurement rate and gain are configurable. The rate can be either 10Hz or 80Hz. A faster rate will produce more noise. It is additionally possible to add a moving average (see setMovingAverage(int)) to the measurements. The gain can be 128x, 64x or 32x. It represents a measurement range of ±20mV, ±40mV and ±80mV respectively. The Load Cell Bricklet uses an excitation voltage of 5V and most load cells use an output of 2mV/V. That means the voltage range is ±15mV for most load cells (i.e. gain of 128x is best). If you don't know what all of this means you should keep it at 128x, it will most likely be correct.
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
      • getSPITFPErrorCount

        public BrickletLoadCellV2.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|
        Specified by:
        getIdentity in class Device
        Throws:
        TinkerforgeException
