Library Description

This library provides basic functionality for reading the current value and controlling the click board.

Key functions:

• float hallcurrent6_getCurrent() - Reads Current data in mA.
• uint16_t hallcurrent6_readData() - Reads ADC current data.

Examples description

The application is composed of the three sections :

• System Initialization - Initializes I2C module.
• Application Initialization - Initializations driver init.
• Application Task - Reads Current data in mA and logs this data to USBUART every 1 sec.

void applicationTask()
{
    char demoText[ 50 ];
    float Current;

    Current = hallcurrent6_getCurrent();

    mikrobus_logWrite(" Current value: ", _LOG_TEXT);
    FloatToStr(Current, demoText);
    mikrobus_logWrite(demoText, _LOG_TEXT);
    mikrobus_logWrite(" mA", _LOG_LINE);

    mikrobus_logWrite(" ------------------------- ", _LOG_LINE );
    Delay_ms( 1000 );
}

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• I2C
• Conversions

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. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
