Library Description

The library contains basic communication with the module and allows the user to read and write data to the module. The user can read the current data of current, voltage and power measured by the sensor.

Key functions:

  • float vcpmonitor_get_voltage ( void ) - Reads voltage data in mV
  • float vcpmonitor_get_current ( void ) - Reads current data in mA
  • float vcpmonitor_get_power ( void ) - Reads power data in mW

Examples description

The application is composed of three sections :

  • System Initialization - Initializes I2C module and INT pin on INPUT
  • Application Initialization - Initializes driver init, check device ID and manufacture ID, start default configuration.
  • Application Task - Reads Current, Voltage and Power data. This data logs to USB UART every 1500ms.
void application_task ( )
{
    float current_data;
    float voltage_data;
    float power_data;
    
    current_data = vcpmonitor_get_current(  );
    IntToStr( current_data, demo_text );
    mikrobus_logWrite( ">> Current data: ", _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( demo_text, _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " mA", _LOG_LINE );
     
    voltage_data = vcpmonitor_get_voltage(  );
    IntToStr( voltage_data, demo_text );
    mikrobus_logWrite( ">> Voltage data: ", _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( demo_text, _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " mV", _LOG_LINE );
    
    power_data = vcpmonitor_get_power(  );
    IntToStr( power_data, demo_text );
    mikrobus_logWrite( ">> Power data: ", _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( demo_text, _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " mW", _LOG_LINE );
    
    mikrobus_logWrite( " ------------------------------- ", _LOG_LINE );
    Delay_ms( 1500 );
}

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

  • I2C Library
  • Conversions library

Additional notes and informations

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.

MCP2518FD Click is a compact add-on board representing a complete CAN solution used as a control node in a CAN network. This board features the MCP2518FD, an external CAN FD controller with an SPI interface, and a high-speed CAN transceiver, the ATA6563, both from Microchip. The ATA6563, a low-level physical layer IC (PHY), provides a physical connection with the CAN bus itself, while the CAN controller MCP2518FD represents an interface between the MCU and the PHY. It features three operating modes with dedicated fail-safe features, remote wake-up via CAN, and ideally passive behavior when powered off on the CAN bus. This Click boardâ„¢ is suitable for developing a wide range of automotive diagnostic applications, even on MCUs that do not natively support CAN interface.
