Library contains functions for reading from and writing to selected registers Library contains functions for calculating refresh time, data resolution and light level Library contains functions for powering device on and checking state of int pin Library contains functions for setting high and low threshold values.

Key functions:

  • void ambient5_powerOn( void ) - Fpowers device on and sets basic settings.
  • float ambient5_getHighResolutionLightLevel( void ) - returns ambient light level in lux [lx].
  • uint16_t ambient5_getRefreshTime( void ) - returns time needed for new data to become available.

Examples description

The application is composed of the three sections :

  • System Initialization - Initializes i2c, log, and INT pin as input.
  • Application Initialization - Initializes i2c driver, powers the device and calculates refresh time.
  • Application Task - Logs high resolution data after a period of time ( refresh time calculated using - ambient5_getRefreshTime( ) ).
void applicationTask( )
{
    for (i = 0; i < rTime; i ++)
    {
        Delay_ms(1);
    }
    
    highResLightLevel = ambient5_getHighResolutionLightLevel( );

    FloatToStr( highResLightLevel, text );

    mikrobus_logWrite( " Ambient Light Level :   ", _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( text, _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( "  lx", _LOG_LINE );
}

Additional notes and informations

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.

DIGI POT 9 Click

0

DIGI POT 9 Click is a compact add-on board used as a digitally controlled potentiometer. This board features the AD5235, a dual-channel, nonvolatile memory, digitally controlled potentiometer from Analog Devices. The AD5235's versatile programming via an SPI-compatible serial interface allows multiple modes of operation and adjustment. The resistor wiper position is determined by the RDAC register contents, which act as a scratchpad register, allowing unlimited changes of resistance settings. The nominal resistance of the RDAC between terminal A and terminal B (RAB) is 250 kΩ with 1024 positions (10-bit resolution).

MCP2003B Click is a compact add-on board with a physical interface to automotive and industrial LIN systems compliant with the LIN Bus Specification Revision 2.2, SAE J2602, and ISO 17987. This board features the MCP2003B, a LIN transceiver from Microchip. The LIN, which stands for a Local Interconnect Network, is used in conjunction with the CAN interface for communication between the components inside of vehicles. The MCP2003B is a bi-directional half-duplex LIN transceiver that supports baud rates up to 20Kbaud with a LIN-compatible output driver. According to the standard on which this LIN transceiver works, connecting up to 15 peripheral devices to a single controller device is possible.
