[theoweiss]

#1.7.0

New Devices

• Joystick Bricklet
• Linear Poti Bricklet
• Dual Button Bricklet

New Features

• Tinkerforge Action Addon
• Brick DC fully supported
• Brick Servo fully supported

Other changes

• updated Tinkerforge API to 2.1.4

Brick DC

Incompatible changes

• DriveMode now is one of "brake" or "coast" instead of "0" or "1"

tinkerforge:dc_garage.driveMode=brake

• switchOnVelocity in openhab.cfg is no longer needed and has gone.
  It is replaced by per item configuration:
  With the benefit that you can have serveral switch items with different speeds.
  tinkerforge:dc_garage.switchOnVelocity=10000

Switch DCSWITCH "DC Switch" {tinkerforge="uid=62Zduj, speed=14000"}

Whats new?

Support for Dimmer, Rollershuter and Number items. Besides that the speed
can be set using a percent value.

The number items show the current velocity. The values are reported using the VelocityListener.
"callbackPeriod" and "threshold" for the listener can be configured in openhab.cfg. There is more
documentation about callback listeners at the official openHAB TinkerForgeBindig wiki page.

• callbackPeriod: milliseconds
• threshold: numeric value

New item configuration options

• speed: the target speed (Switch)
• max: the maximum speed (Dimmer, Rollershutter)
• min: the minimum speed (Dimmer, Rollershutter)
• step: the step value for increasing decreasing speed (Dimmer)
• leftspeed: the speed when the left rollershutter controller is pressed or command "DOWN" was send
• rightspeed: the speed when the right rollershutter controller is pressed or command "UP" was send
• acceleration: acceleration overrides value from openhab.cfg
• drivemode: drivemode overrides value from openhab.cfg

Brick Servo

Whats new?

Support for Dimmer, Rollershuter and Number items. Besides that the speed
can be set using a percent value.

Number items will show the current position.

New item configuration options

• velocity: the velocity used to reach the new position
• max: the maximum position (Dimmer, Rollershutter)
• min: the minimum position (Dimmer, Rollershutter)
• step: the step value for increasing decreasing position (Dimmer)
• leftposition: the target position to reach when the left rollershutter controller is pressed or command "DOWN" was send
• rightposition: the target position to reach when the right rollershutter controller is pressed or command "UP" was send
• acceleration: the acceleration

TinkerForge Action

The new openHAB action TinkerForgeAction comes up with the action tfServoSetposition.
tfServoSetposition(uid, num, position, velocity, acceleration) can be used to control the servo.

Example

tfServoSetposition("6Crt5W", "servo0", "-9000", "65535", "65535")

Tinkerforge Action Addon

• tfServoSetposition as explained above
• tfClearLCD(uid) uid is the uid of the LCD display. A call of tfClearLCD will clear the LCD display.
