Click library

  • Author : Stefan Ilic
  • Date : Dec 2023.
  • Type : GPIO type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Opto Encoder 5 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 Opto Encoder 5 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example key functions :

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of the Opto Encoder 5 Click board by detecting eclipse states.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initialization of GPIO module, log UART and enables the slotted optical switch.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
optoencoder5_cfg_t optoencoder5_cfg;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
optoencoder5_cfg_setup( &optoencoder5_cfg );
OPTOENCODER5_MAP_MIKROBUS( optoencoder5_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( DIGITAL_OUT_UNSUPPORTED_PIN == optoencoder5_init( &optoencoder5, &optoencoder5_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
optoencoder5_enable( &optoencoder5 );
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
#define OPTOENCODER5_MAP_MIKROBUS(cfg, mikrobus)
MikroBUS pin mapping.

void application_init(void)
Definition: main.c:33

Application Task

When the beam from the slotted optical switch is broken by placing an object in

the gap ( like a piece of paper ), the counter is incremented by one when the sensor is triggered.

void application_task ( void )
{
out_state = optoencoder5_get_out_state( &optoencoder5 );
if ( cmp_state != out_state )
{
{
log_printf( &logger, " Counter: %u \r\n", cnt );
cnt++;
}
cmp_state = out_state;
}
}
#define OPTOENCODER5_OUT_STATE_SWITCH_CLOSED
Definition: optoencoder5.h:64
void application_task(void)
Definition: main.c:64

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.OptoEncoder5

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.
