Library Description
The library covers all the functions necessary to control VCP Monitor 3 click board. It initializes and defines the SPI and I2C bus drivers, and holds functions that allow full control of the device to the user. User can change operation mode, read: current, power, voltage, VCC voltage, energy, charge and base time. User can also use various read and write functions.
Key functions:
float vcpmonitor3_read_i ( );
- Function is used to get current in Amperes.float vcpmonitor3_read_p ( );
- Function is used to get power in Watts.float vcpmonitor3_read_v ( );
- Function is used to get voltage in Volts.Examples description
The application is composed of three sections :
void application_task( )
{
float cur_data;
float volt_data;
float pow_data;
float die_temp;
float volt_vcc;
cur_data = vcpmonitor3_read_i( );
FloatToStr( cur_data, log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( "Current : ", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( " A", _LOG_LINE );
pow_data = vcpmonitor3_read_p( );
FloatToStr( pow_data, log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( "Power : ", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( " W", _LOG_LINE );
volt_data = vcpmonitor3_read_v( );
FloatToStr( volt_data, log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( "Voltage : ", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( " V", _LOG_LINE );
die_temp = vcpmonitor3_read_temp( );
FloatToStr( die_temp, log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( "Die Temperature : ", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( deg_cel, _LOG_LINE );
volt_vcc = vcpmonitor3_read_vcc( );
FloatToStr( volt_vcc, log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( "Voltage at DVCC : ", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( " V", _LOG_LINE );
mikrobus_logWrite( " ------------------------------- ", _LOG_LINE );

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.
