Click library

  • Author : Jovan Stajkovic
  • Date : nov 2019.
  • Type : I2C/SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Accel 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 form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for Accel Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • Config Object Initialization function.

    void accel_cfg_setup ( accel_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Initialization function.

    ACCEL_RETVAL accel_init ( accel_t *ctx, accel_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Click Default Configuration function.

    void accel_default_cfg ( accel_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • Function raw read X axis

    int16_t accel_read_x_axis ( accel_t *ctx );

  • Function raw read Y axis

    int16_t accel_read_y_axis ( accel_t *ctx );

  • Function raw read Z axis

    int16_t accel_read_z_axis ( accel_t *ctx );

Examples Description

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes SPI/I2C driver and settings data read format, power mode, FIFO control and baud rate( 100Hz default ).

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_printf( &logger, "---- Application Init ----\r\n" );
accel_cfg_setup( &cfg );
ACCEL_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
accel_init( &accel, &cfg );
accel_generic_read( &accel, ACCEL_REG_DEVID, &tmp, 1 );
if ( tmp == ACCEL_DEVID )
{
log_printf( &logger, "---- Comunication OK!!! ----\r\n" );
}
else
{
log_printf( &logger, "---- Comunication ERROR!!! ----\r\n" );
for ( ; ; );
}
accel_default_cfg ( &accel );
}

Application Task

Reading X, Y and Z axis and logs on usbuart every 1 second.

void application_task ( void )
{
val_x = accel_read_x_axis( &accel );
log_printf( &logger, "Axis X : %d\r\n", val_x );
val_y = accel_read_y_axis( &accel );
log_printf( &logger, "Axis Y : %d\r\n", val_y );
val_z = accel_read_z_axis( &accel );
log_printf( &logger, "Axis Z : %d\r\n", val_z );
log_printf( &logger, "-------------------\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.Accel

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. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
