Click library

  • Author : MikroE Team
  • Date : Jan 2020.
  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the LightRanger3 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 LightRanger3 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • Config Object Initialization function.

    void lightranger3_cfg_setup ( lightranger3_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Initialization function.

    LIGHTRANGER3_RETVAL lightranger3_init ( lightranger3_t ctx, lightranger3_cfg_t cfg );

  • Click Default Configuration function.

    void lightranger3_default_cfg ( lightranger3_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • This function go to measurement mode.

    uint8_t lightranger3_set_measurement_mode ( lightranger3_t *ctx );

  • This function reads distance.

    uint16_t lightranger3_get_distance ( lightranger3_t *ctx );

  • This function reads confidence value.

    uint16_t lightranger3_get_confidence_value ( lightranger3_t *ctx );

Examples Description

This app precisely measure distance without making actual contact.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes driver init and configuration chip.


void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    lightranger3_cfg_t cfg;
    uint8_t init_status;

    /** 
     * 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 ----\r\n" );

    //  Click initialization.

    lightranger3_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    LIGHTRANGER3_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    lightranger3_init( &lightranger3, &cfg );

    init_status = lightranger3_device_init( &lightranger3 );

    if ( init_status == 0 )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " --- Device init successfully --- \r\n " );
    }
    else
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " ---  Device init error --- \r\n " );
    }
}

Application Task

Includes measurements, reads distance, and logs distance to USBUART for every 300 ms. Distance measurement at distances ranging from 100 mm to 2000 mm.


void application_task ( void )
{
    uint16_t distance;

    lightranger3_take_single_measurement( &lightranger3 );

    distance = lightranger3_get_distance( &lightranger3 );

    log_printf( &logger, "Distance = %u mm \r\n ", distance );

    Delay_ms ( 300 );
} 

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.LightRanger3

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.

HW Monitor 2 Click is a compact add-on board used to monitor and regulate the performance of various hardware components within an embedded system. This board features the AMC80, an I2C-configurable system hardware monitor from Texas Instruments that contains a 10-bit ADC capable of measuring seven positive voltages and local temperature. The AMC80 also has two programmable fan speed monitoring inputs besides other hardware monitoring functions like chassis intrusion detection, additional external interrupt input, and master reset for external purposes, as well as a programmable upper over-limit and lower under-limit alarms that activate when the programmed limits are exceeded.

HVAC click

5

HVAC Click is a compact add-on board that contains Sensirion’s next-generation miniature CO2 sensor. This board features the SCD41, a carbon dioxide sensor build on the photoacoustic sensing principle, and Sensirion’s patented PASens® and CMOSens® technology to offer high accuracy at a minor form factor. On-chip signal compensation is realized with the build-in humidity and temperature sensor. It operates within a specified range from 400 to 5’000 ppm, configurable through the I2C interface with a single shot mode supported. This Click board™ is also suitable for indoor air quality applications using an additional SPS30 that allows smart ventilation systems to regulate ventilation in the most energy-efficient and human-friendly way, maintaining low CO2 concentration for a healthy, productive environment.
