Camel TinkerForge component

The Camel Tinkerforge component can be used to connect to the TinkerForge brick deamon.

Maven dependency

Maven users should add the following dependency to their POM file:

io.rhiotcamel-tinkerforge${rhiot.version}

Avaliable for rhiot.version >= 0.1.1

General URI format

tinkerforge:/<brickletType>/<uid>[?parameter=value][&parameter=value]

By default a connection is created to the brickd process running on localhost using no authentication. If you want to connect to another host use the following format:

tinkerforge://[username:password@]<host>[:port]/<brickletType>/<uid>[?parameter=value][&parameter=value]

The following values are currently supported as brickletType:

• ambientlight

• temperature

• lcd20x4

• humidity

• io4

• io16

• distance

• ledstrip

• motion

• soundintensity

• piezospeaker

• linearpoti

• rotarypoti

• dualrelay

• solidstaterelay

Ambientlight

from("tinkerforge:/ambientlight/al1")
.to("log:default");

Temperature

from("tinkerforge:/temperature/T1")
.to("log:default");

Lcd20x4

The LCD 20x4 bricklet has a character based screen that can display 20 characters on 4 rows.

Optional URI Parameters

Parameter	Default value	Description
line	0	Show message on line 0
position	0	Show message starting at position 0

from("tinkerforge:/temperature/T1
.to("tinkerforge:/lcd20x4/lcd1?line=2&position=10

The parameters can be overridden for individual messages by settings them as headers on the exchange:

from("tinkerforge:/temperature/T1
.setHeader("line", constant("2"))
.setHeader("position", constant("10"))
.to("tinkerforge:/lcd20x4/lcd1");

Humidity

 from("tinkerforge:/humidity/H1")
 .to("log:default");

Io16

The IO16 bricklet has 2 ports (A and B) which both have 8 IO pins. Consuming and producing messages happens on port level. So only the port can be specified in the URI and the pin will be a header on the exchange.

Consuming:

from("tinkerforge:/io16/io9?ioport=a")
.to("log:default?showHeaders=true");

Producing

from("timer:default?period=2000")
.setHeader("iopin", constant(0))
.setHeader("duration", constant(1000))
.setBody(constant("on"))
.to("tinkerforge:/io16/io9?ioport=b");
