Current click is an add-on board used for measurement of electric current. It features INA196 current shunt monitor, MCP3201 12-bit ADC, MAX6106 voltage reference as well as two screw terminals.
We provide a library for the Current 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.
This library contains API for Current Click driver.
void current_cfg_setup ( current_cfg_t *cfg );
CURRENT_RETVAL current_init ( current_t *ctx, current_cfg_t *cfg );
float current_get_current_data ( current_t *ctx, float r_hunt );
Demo app measures and displays current by using Current click board.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initalizes SPI, LOG and click drivers.
This is an example that shows the capabilities of the Current click board
by measuring current in miliampers. Current click board can be used to safely measure current ranging from 2mA to 2048mA.
It is important to provide the shunt of the appropriate value.
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:
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.
