Click library

Software Support

We provide a library for the LedFlash2 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 LedFlash2 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example key functions :

Examples Description

This app demonstrate flash and torch mode on LED light.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes device and sets the click into "OFF" mode.

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 ----\r\n" );
// Click initialization.
LEDFLASH2_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
ledflash2_init( &ledflash2, &cfg );
ledflash2_set_mode( &ledflash2, LEDFLASH2_MODE_OFF, 0, 0 );
log_printf( &logger, "Initialized...\r\n" );
}

Application Task

>This function will demonstrate how to use the flash mode,

and the torch mode, with different power settings. It will then turn the click off.

void application_task ( void )
{
Delay_ms( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Do not look directly into the led lights.\r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, "Triggering flash in 5...\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, "4...\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, "3...\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, "2...\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, "1...\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Cheese!\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 350 );
ledflash2_set_mode( &ledflash2, LEDFLASH2_MODE_OFF, 0, 0 );
Delay_ms( 2000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Switching to the torch mode in a moment...\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 2000 );
Delay_ms( 5000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Dimming the torch light...\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 5000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Switching off...\r\n" );
ledflash2_set_mode( &ledflash2, LEDFLASH2_MODE_OFF, 0, 0 );
}

Note

LED lights can be very bright, even on lowest power settings. Avoid looking directly into the light when click is in operation.

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.
