Library Description

The library initializes and defines the I2C bus driver and drivers that offer a choice for writing data in registers and reading data from registers. The library includes functions for full Configuration chip, sets measurement distance mode, inter measurement period, timing budget and user Roi. The user has the functions available for softReset, power on procedure, read distance of the object in front of the sensor

Key functions:

  • uint8_t lightranger4_deviceConfiguration() - Functions for device configuration
  • void lightranger4_startMeasurement(uint32_t period_ms) - Functions for start measurement
  • uint16_t lightranger4_getDistance() - Function reads distance of the object in front of the sensor

Example description

The application is composed of three sections:

  • System Initialization - Initializes I2C module and set INT pin as INPUT and RST pin as OUTPUT
  • Application Initialization - Initializes the driver init, chip configuration, adjusts the LONG mode (distance measurement up to 4 meters), sets the time budget and start measurement with the adjustment of inter measurements period.
  • Application Task - (code snippet) - Reads the distance of the object in front of the sensor and logs distance to USBUART every 500 ms.
void applicationTask()
{
 while(lightranger4_newDataReady() != 0)
 {
 Delay_1ms();
 }

 distance = lightranger4_getDistance();
 IntToStr(distance, demoText);
 mikrobus_logWrite(" - Distance : ", _LOG_TEXT);
 mikrobus_logWrite(demoText, _LOG_TEXT);
 mikrobus_logWrite(" mm ", _LOG_LINE);

 measurementStatus = lightranger4_getRangeStatus();
 switch (measurementStatus)
 {
 case _LR4_MRESP_SIGNAL_FAIL:
 {
 mikrobus_logWrite( "Signal fail.", _LOG_LINE);
 break;
 }
 case _LR4_MRESP_PHASE_OUT_OF_VALID_LIMITS:
 {
 mikrobus_logWrite( "Phase out of valid limits", _LOG_LINE);
 break;
 }
 case _LR4_MRESP_SIGMA_FAIL:
 {
 mikrobus_logWrite( "Sigma Fail. ", _LOG_LINE);
 break;
 }
 case _LR4_MRESP_WRAP_TARGET_FAIL:
 {
 mikrobus_logWrite( "Wrap target fail.", _LOG_LINE);
 break;
 }
 case _LR4_MRESP_MINIMUM_DETECTION_THRESHOLD:
 {
 mikrobus_logWrite( "Target is below minimum detection threshold. ", _LOG_LINE);
 break;
 }
 default:
 {
 break;
 }
 }

 Delay_ms( 500 );
}

Additional notes and information

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.

SPI Isolator 5 Click

0

SPI Isolator 5 Click is a compact add-on board with a digital isolator optimized for a serial peripheral interface. This board features the DCL541A01, a high-speed quad-channel digital isolator from Toshiba Semiconductor. Outstanding performance characteristics of the DCL541A01 are achieved by Toshiba CMOS technology and the magnetic coupling structure. In addition, they comply with UL 1577 safety-related certification, have a withstand voltage rating of 5kVrms, and operate with the external supply voltage ranging from 2.25V to 5.5V, providing compatibility with lower voltage systems enabling voltage translation functionality across the isolation barrier.

Stepper 4 Click

0

Stepper 4 Click is a very versatile bipolar stepping motor driver. It features TB67S269FTG IC, fabricated with the BiCD process, allowing the Click board™ to handle significant voltage and current levels up to 35V and 1.2A. This IC has the integrated translator section, used to simplify the control: using simple step control inputs from the host MCU, the stepper motor can be driven in both directions, with the predetermined step sizes from the full step, up to 1/32 step.
