Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions that enables the usage of the Hydro Probe click board. It offers reading from output register, calulation for average value from 100 raw reads,functions for maximum and mimimum values from 100 raw reads and calculations that result in environment moisture content in percents.
Key functions:
uint8_t hydroprobe_rel_env_hum ( uint16_t dry_val, uint16_t wet_val );
- Function is used to get environment moisture content in percents.uint16_t hydroprobe_min_val ( );
- Function is used to read minimum value from 100 raw reads.uint16_t hydroprobe_max_val ( );
- Function is used to read maximum value from 100 raw reads.Examples description
The application is composed of three sections :
void application_task ( )
{
humy_val = hydroprobe_rel_env_hum( dry_val, wet_val );
WordToStr( humy_val, log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( "Environment moisture content: ", _LOG_TEXT );
Ltrim( log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( "%", _LOG_LINE );
mikrobus_logWrite( "------------------------------", _LOG_LINE );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
}

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.
