Library Description

Library for LED Flash 2 click contains generic read / write functions. The library also contains control function (setMode), that can set click into any of the possible modes of operation, as well as a function that can toggle Flash inhibit pin on/off. 

Besides the mode parameter used to set the working mode of the click, the LED current is also forwarded to the functions as the parameter by means of constants, that are named according to the percentage of the current they are used to set - e.g. _LEDFLASH2_CUR_100 will not scale down the current and it will be 100% of what is set by the current limiting resistors on the click board. When using the FLASH mode (_LEDFLASH2_MODE_FLASH), another function parameter (_LEDFLASH2_FTMR_312) is used and it represents the safety timer, after which the LEDs will get turned off, to prevent damage. Otherwise it can be set to 0.

Key functions

uint8_t ledflash2_readRegister(uint8_t regAddress) - Generic read register function

void ledflash2_writeRegister(uint8_t regAddress, uint8_t regData) - Generic write register function

ledflash2_setMode(_LEDFLASH2_MODE_FLASH, _LEDFLASH2_CUR_100, _LEDFLASH2_FTMR_312);- Sets the operation mode

void ledflash2_toggleFlashInhibit(uint8_t pinState) - Toggles the Flash inhibit pin on/off

Examples description

The application is composed of three sections:

  • System Initialization - Initializes pins, I2C peripheral, and logger.

  • Application Initialization - Initializes driver, and sets the click into "OFF"

  • Application Task - (Code snippet) This function will demonstrate how to use the flash mode, and the torch mode, with different power settings. It will then turn the click off

IMPORTANT NOTE: LED lights can be very bright, even with the lowest power settings. Avoid looking directly into the light, when working with the click.

Additional notes and information

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART clickUSB UART 2 clickor 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.

ISO ADC 6 Click

0

ISO ADC 6 Click is a compact add-on board that contains an eight-channel isolated ADC. This board features the AD7124-8, an 8-channel, low noise, low power, 24-bit, sigma-delta ADC from Analog Devices. The ADC has a programmable gain array (PGA) that allows gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. Additionally, the ADC contains a 2.5V reference, which can be used with reference buffers, along with the externally applied references. The host MCU is isolated from the ADC by the ADuM341E, a 5kVrms quad digital isolator from Analog Devices.
