MagAccel click

Mag&Accel Click is a compact add-on board representing a moving object and magnetic switch as a single solution. This board features the NMH1000, a Hall-effect magnetic field switch, and the FXLS8974CF, a 3-axis low-g accelerometer, both from NXP Semiconductor.

Click library

  • Author : Nenad Filipovic
  • Date : Nov 2023.
  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the MagAccel 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 from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for MagAccel Click driver.

Example Description

This library contains API for the Mag&Accel Click driver. The library initializes and defines the I2C drivers to write and read data from registers, as well as the default configuration for reading accelerator data.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

The initialization of the I2C module, log UART, and additional pins. After the driver init, the app executes a default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
magaccel_cfg_t magaccel_cfg;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
magaccel_cfg_setup( &magaccel_cfg );
MAGACCEL_MAP_MIKROBUS( magaccel_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == magaccel_init( &magaccel, &magaccel_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
if ( MAGACCEL_ERROR == magaccel_default_cfg ( &magaccel ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
for ( ; ; );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
log_printf( &logger, "_________________\r\n" );
}

Application Task

This example demonstrates the use of the Mag&Accel Click board. Measures and displays acceleration data for the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis and the presence of a magnetic field. Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.

void application_task ( void )
{
{
magaccel_axes_t acc_axis;
magaccel_get_axes_data( &magaccel, &acc_axis );
{
log_printf( &logger, " Presence of a magnetic field\r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, "_________________\r\n" );
}
log_printf( &logger, " Accel X: %.2f mg\r\n", acc_axis.x );
log_printf( &logger, " Accel Y: %.2f mg\r\n", acc_axis.y );
log_printf( &logger, " Accel Z: %.2f mg\r\n", acc_axis.z );
log_printf( &logger, "_________________\r\n" );
Delay_ms( 100 );
}
}

  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.MagAccel

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. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
