Click library

Software Support

We provide a library for the WaterDetect 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 WaterDetect Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example key function :

Examples Description

Water Detect click is used for detecting water and other electroconductive liquids. If the detection area is wet the output of Microchip's MCP606 CMOS op-amp will go positive, signaling the presence of liquid.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes GPIO and LOG structures, set INT pins as input and starts to write log.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
// Logger initialization.
log_cfg.level = LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info(&logger, "---- Application Init ----");
// Click initialization.
WATERDETECT_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
waterdetect_init( &waterdetect, &cfg );
Delay_100ms();
log_printf( &logger, " Initialization Driver \r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, "------------------------- \r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, " Wait to detect water... \r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, "------------------------- \r\n" );
}

Application Task

Reads device status and determines if there are water presence or not.

void application_task ( void )
{
wd_state = waterdetect_get_status( &waterdetect );
{
log_printf( &logger, " > Water is detected < \r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, "------------------------- \r\n" );
}
{
log_printf( &logger, " There is no water \r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, "------------------- \r\n" );
}
}

Note

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.
