Click library

  • Author : Stefan Filipovic
  • Date : Aug 2021.
  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Expand10 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for Expand10 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • expand10_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void expand10_cfg_setup ( expand10_cfg_t *cfg );
  • expand10_init Initialization function.

    err_t expand10_init ( expand10_t *ctx, expand10_cfg_t *cfg );
  • expand10_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    err_t expand10_default_cfg ( expand10_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • expand10_set_pin_direction This function sets the direction of the selected pins.

    err_t expand10_set_pin_direction ( expand10_t *ctx, uint8_t direction, uint8_t port, uint8_t pin_mask );
  • expand10_set_pin_value This function sets the value of the selected pins.

    err_t expand10_set_pin_value ( expand10_t *ctx, uint8_t port, uint8_t clr_mask, uint8_t set_mask );
  • expand10_read_port_value This function reads the value of the selected port input pins.

    err_t expand10_read_port_value ( expand10_t *ctx, uint8_t port, uint8_t *data_out );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Expand 10 Click board.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration which sets the first two ports as output and the third port as input with pull-down enabled.


void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;            /**< Logger config object. */
    expand10_cfg_t expand10_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

    // Click initialization.
    expand10_cfg_setup( &expand10_cfg );
    EXPAND10_MAP_MIKROBUS( expand10_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    err_t init_flag = expand10_init( &expand10, &expand10_cfg );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Application Init Error. " );
        log_info( &logger, " Please, run program again... " );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    init_flag = expand10_default_cfg ( &expand10 );
    if ( EXPAND10_ERROR == init_flag ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default Config Error. " );
        log_info( &logger, " Please, run program again... " );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Sets the pins of the first two ports and then reads and displays the status of all ports on the USB UART approximately once per second.


void application_task ( void )
{
    uint8_t port_value = 0;

    for ( uint16_t pin_num = EXPAND10_PIN_0_MASK; pin_num <= EXPAND10_PIN_7_MASK; pin_num <<= 1 )
    {
        expand10_set_all_pins_value( &expand10, pin_num );

        expand10_read_port_value( &expand10, EXPAND10_PORT_0, &port_value );
        log_printf( &logger, " Status P0 (output): 0x%.2X\r\n", ( uint16_t ) port_value );

        expand10_read_port_value( &expand10, EXPAND10_PORT_1, &port_value );
        log_printf( &logger, " Status P1 (output): 0x%.2X\r\n", ( uint16_t ) port_value );

        expand10_read_port_value( &expand10, EXPAND10_PORT_2, &port_value );
        log_printf( &logger, " Status P2 (input) : 0x%.2X\r\n\r\n", ( uint16_t ) port_value );
        Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    }
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.Expand10

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.

Color 2 click

1

Color 2 click carries the ISL29125 RGB color light sensor. It detects red, green and blue in a variety of lighting conditions, outputting 16-bit resolution data in a 5.7m lux-10,000 lux measuring range. The board communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUSâ„¢ I2C interface (SCL and SDA pins).
