Current 10 Click is a compact add-on board designed for reliable current measurements. This board features the CT455, an XtremeSense™ TMR coreless current sensor from Allegro Microsystems, with a wide 1MHz bandwidth and a sensitivity of 333.3mV/mT, capable of detecting both positive and negative current flows (±6mT). It translates magnetic fields into a linear analog output with less than ±1.0% error across temperature and supply voltage variations.
We provide a library for the Current 10 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.
This library contains API for Current 10 Click driver.
current10_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. current10_init
Initialization function. current10_calib_offset
This function calibrates the zero current offset value. current10_calib_resolution
This function calibrates the data resolution at the known load current. current10_read_current
This function reads the input current level [A]. This example demonstrates the use of Current 10 click board by reading and displaying the input current measurements.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and calibrates the zero current offset and data resolution at 3A load current.
Reads the input current measurements and displays the results on the USB UART approximately once per second.
The measurement range is approximately: +/- 75A.
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.

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.
