  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the LightRanger4 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for LightRanger4 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • Config Object Initialization function.

    void lightranger4_cfg_setup ( lightranger4_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Initialization function.

    LIGHTRANGER4_RETVAL lightranger4_init ( lightranger4_t ctx, lightranger4_cfg_t cfg );

  • Click Default Configuration function.

    void lightranger4_default_cfg ( lightranger4_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • Function that checks whether the new data is ready for reading

    uint8_t lightranger4_new_data_ready ( lightranger4_t *ctx );

  • Function reads distance of the object in front of the sensor

    uint16_t lightranger4_get_distance ( lightranger4_t *ctx );

  • Function for starts power ON procedure

    void lightranger4_power_on ( lightranger4_t *ctx );

Examples Description

Demo application is used to shows basic controls LightRanger 4 Click

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Configuring clicks and log objects. Settings the Click in the default 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.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    lightranger4_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );

    //  Click initialization.

    lightranger4_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    LIGHTRANGER4_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    lightranger4_init( &lightranger4, &cfg );

    lightranger4_power_on( &lightranger4 );
    log_info( &logger, "--- Wait until the configuration of the chip is completed ---" );

    lightranger4_default_cfg( &lightranger4 );
    lightranger4_set_distance_mode( &lightranger4, LR4_DISTANCE_MODE_LONG );
    lightranger4_set_measurement_timing_budget( &lightranger4, 1000 );
    lightranger4_start_measurement( &lightranger4, 20 );

    log_info( &logger, "--- Sensor start measurement ---" );
    Delay_100ms( );
}

Application Task

Reads the distance of the object in front of the sensor and logs distance to USBUART every 500 ms.

void application_task ( void )
{
    uint16_t distance;
    uint8_t m_status;

    //  Task implementation.

    while ( lightranger4_new_data_ready( &lightranger4 ) != 0 )
    {
        Delay_1ms();
    }

    distance = lightranger4_get_distance( &lightranger4 );
    log_printf( &logger, "** Distance: %d mm \r\n", distance );

    m_status = lightranger4_get_range_status( &lightranger4 );
    switch ( m_status )
    {
        case LR4_MRESP_SIGNAL_FAIL:
        {
            log_info( &logger, "Signal fail." );
            break;
        }
        case LR4_MRESP_PHASE_OUT_OF_VALID_LIMITS:
        {
            log_info( &logger, "Phase out of valid limits" );
            break;
        }
        case LR4_MRESP_SIGMA_FAIL:
        {
            log_info( &logger, "Sigma Fail. " );
            break;
        }
        case LR4_MRESP_WRAP_TARGET_FAIL:
        {
            log_info( &logger, "Wrap target fail." );
            break;
        }
        case LR4_MRESP_MINIMUM_DETECTION_THRESHOLD:
        {
            log_info( &logger, "Target is below minimum detection threshold. " );
            break;
        }
    }
    Delay_ms ( 500 );
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.LightRanger4

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.

RMS to DC 2 Click

0

RMS to DC 2 Click is a compact add-on board that converts the RMS of the input signal into a DC voltage. This board features the AD8436, a low-cost, low-power, true RMS-to-DC converter from Analog Devices. The AD8436 is a translinear precision, low-power, true RMS-to-DC converter that delivers true RMS or average rectified value of AC waveform. It features high accuracy, a wide dynamic input range (100μV rms to 3V rms), a wide bandwidth of up to 1MHz, and more. This Click board™ makes the perfect solution for the development of various true RMS digital multimeter applications, panel meters and gauges, AC + DC measurement applications, a true RMS measurement of an audio signal, and other similar applications that require accurate RMS value readings.

Color 10 Click

0

Color 10 Click is carrying VEML3328 sensor for RGB and IR light sensing as well as the RGB diode incorporated on the board which makes it good color detection device when its combined with a white LED. The VEML3328 sensor senses red, green, blue, clear and IR light by incorporating photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog / digital circuits into a single CMOS chip. With this sensor, the brightness and color temperature of a display backlight can be adjusted based on the ambient light source, and it can differentiate indoor from outdoor lighting environments.
