Library Description

The library covers all the necessary functions that enables the usage of the Ammeter click board.
It offers reading from output register and calculations that result in relatively accurate amperage value.

Key functions:

  • uint16_t ammeter_amperage() - Function is used to measure amperage of a power consumer connected to the click board.
  • uint16_t ammeter_getRawData() - Function is used to read raw data value from output register.
  • uint16_t ammeter_dataRead() - Function is used to read data from output register.

Examples description

The application is composed of the three sections :

  • System Initialization - Initializes SPI module, LOG and GPIO structures, sets CS pin as output and AN pin as input.
  • Application Initialization - Initalizes SPI driver and makes an initial log.
  • Application Task - This is an example that shows the capabilities of the Ammeter click by measuring amperage in miliampers. Ammeter click board can be used to saftly measure current up to 1A both AC and DC, in the case of AC, for peak to peak value. It is important to notice that this click board has its' own electronic circuit, and may not be powered from the same source which we are measuring. Result will not be correct in that case.
void applicationTask( )
{
    amperage = ammeter_amperage();
    IntToStr( amperage, logTxt );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " Amperage: ", _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( logTxt, _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( "mA ", _LOG_LINE );
    mikrobus_logWrite( "-----------------------", _LOG_LINE );
    Delay_ms( 1000 );
}

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

  • SPI
  • UART
  • Conversions

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART clickUSB 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.

Load Cell 5 Click

0

Load Cell 5 Click is a compact add-on board that represents a weigh scale solution. This board features the AD7780, a pin-programmable, low power, 24-bit sigma-delta ΣΔ ADC from Analog Devices. It interfaces directly to the load cell, where the low-level signal from the load cell is amplified by the AD7780’s internal low noise programmable gain amplifier programmed to operate with a gain of 128 or 1. It also has a power-down mode allowing the user to switch off the power to the bridge sensor and power-down the AD7780 when not converting, increasing the product battery life. This Click board™ has many features that make it a perfect solution for safety-critical and weight measurement applications.

Clock Gen 6 Click

0

Clock Gen 6 Click is a compact add-on board representing a digital oscillator solution. This board features the MIC1557, an IttyBitty CMOS RC oscillator designed to provide rail-to-rail pulses for precise time delay or frequency generation from Microchip Technology. The MIC1557 has a single threshold and trigger connection, internally connected, for astable (oscillator) operation only. It also has an enable/reset control signal routed to the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, which controls the bias supply to the oscillator’s internal circuitry and optimizes power consumption used for oscillator power ON/OFF purposes. In addition, it provides the ability to select the desired frequency programmed via a digital potentiometer, the MAX5401.
