Accel 7 click

The Accel 7 click is a tri-axis acceleration sensing Click boardâ„¢ powered by the KXTJ3-1057 14-bit tri-axis digital accelerometer from Kionix. This sensor was developed using proprietary Kionix micromachining technology, resulting in high accuracy and excellent noise immunity.

Click library

Software Support

We provide a library for the Accel7 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 Accel7 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example key functions :

Examples Description

This example shows how data from all three axes is collected, processed and later

displayed in the logger module.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes and configures the click and logger modules.

{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
uint8_t resolution = ACCEL7_DATA_RESP_14bit;
uint8_t range = ACCEL7_RANGE_8g;
// Logger initialization.
log_cfg.level = LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----\r\n" );
// Click initialization.
ACCEL7_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
accel7_init( &accel7, &cfg );
accel7_res_range_cfg( &accel7, &resolution, &range );
accel7_default_cfg( &accel7, resolution, range );
delay_ms( 100 );
}

Application Task

Reads and displays data from all three axes every second.

{
int16_t x_axis;
int16_t y_axis;
int16_t z_axis;
x_axis = accel7_get_axis( &accel7, ACCEL7_AXIS_X );
y_axis = accel7_get_axis( &accel7, ACCEL7_AXIS_Y );
z_axis = accel7_get_axis( &accel7, ACCEL7_AXIS_Z );
log_printf( &logger, "X axis: %d\r\n", x_axis );
log_printf( &logger, "Y axis: %d\r\n", y_axis );
log_printf( &logger, "Z axis: %d\r\n", z_axis );
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.

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.
