Click library
- Author : MikroE Team
- Date : Jul 2020.
- Type : I2C type
Software Support
We provide a library for the Brushless7 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 Brushless7 Click driver.
Standard key functions :
- Config Object Initialization function.
void brushless7_cfg_setup ( brushless7_cfg_t *cfg );
- Initialization function.
BRUSHLESS7_RETVAL brushless7_init ( brushless7_t *ctx, brushless7_cfg_t *cfg );
- Click Default Configuration function.
void brushless7_default_cfg ( brushless7_t *ctx );
Example key functions :
- Function for changeing duty of device
uint8_t brushless7_change_duty ( brushless7_t *ctx, float duty_ptc );
- Function for setting max rpm parameter of device
uint8_t brushless7_max_speed_rpm ( brushless7_t *ctx, uint8_t max_speed_rpm );
- Function for setting type of device control
uint8_t brushless7_control_mode_set ( brushless7_t *ctx, uint8_t ctrl_type );
Examples Description
This example demonstrates the use of Brushless 7 Click board.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Application Init
Sets the default configuration and then configures the Click board for the selected mode.
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
uint8_t error_flag = 0;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );
Delay_ms ( 100 );
Delay_ms ( 100 );
{
log_printf( &logger, " ----- DUTY CONTROL ----- \r\n" );
}
{
log_printf( &logger, " ----- RPM CONTROL ----- \r\n" );
}
{
log_printf( &logger, " ----- ERROR ----- \r\n" );
for( ; ; );
}
}
Application Task
Increases and decreases the speed of the motor rotation by setting the duty cycle or rpm values depending on which mode is previously selected. It also switches the direction of rotation at the beginning of each cycle. All data is being logged on the USB UART where you can track their changes.

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.Brushless7
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.
