Library Description

The library covers all the necessary functions that enables the usage of the DC Motor 10 Click board. It initializes and defines the SPI bus driver and drivers that allow full control of the device to the user. It is possible to enable up to 6 dc motors in hlaf bridge, or 5 with full bridge.

Key functions:

• void dcmotor10_resetStatusReg(); - Function is used to reset status register.
• void dcmotor10_enableChann1(); - Function is used to enable channel 1.
• void dcmotor10_sendCommand( uint16_t wrData ); - Function is used to send command.

Examples description

The application is composed of three sections :

• System Initialization - Initializes SPI module, LOG and GPIO structures, sets INT and CS pins as output.
• Application Initialization - Initalizes SPI driver and uninhibits the device.
• Application Task - (code snippet) This example demonstrates the use of DC MOTOR 10 click by running dc motors on channels 1 through 3, first all 3 together and then separately.

void applicationTask()
{
    dcmotor10_sendCommand(  _DCMOTOR10_ENABLE_1 | _DCMOTOR10_ENABLE_2 
                                                | _DCMOTOR10_ENABLE_3 );
    Delay_ms( 5000 );
    dcmotor10_enableChann1();
    Delay_ms( 5000 );
    dcmotor10_enableChann2();
    Delay_ms( 5000 );
    dcmotor10_enableChann3();
    Delay_ms( 5000 );
    dcmotor10_resetStatusReg();
    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 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.
