Library Description

The library covers all the necessary functions to control Force 5 Click board. Library performs a standard I2C interface communication.

Key functions:

• void force5_read_all_data ( force5_data_t *force_data ) - Read all data function.
• float force5_get_force ( force5_calibration_t calib_data ) - Get force function.
• float force5_get_temperature ( void ) - Get temperature function.

Examples description

The application is composed of three sections :

• The application is composed of three sections :
• Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables - I2C, calibration the device, display diagnostic states and temperature.
• Application Task - (code snippet) This is an example that demonstrates the use of the Force 5 Click board. Force 5 Click board can be used to measure digital output force ( N ). All data logs write on USB uart changes every 500 milliseconds.

void application_task ( )
{
    force_n = force5_get_force( calib_data );
    
    FloatToStr( force_n, log_text );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " Force : ", _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( log_text, _LOG_TEXT );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " N", _LOG_LINE );
    mikrobus_logWrite( "-------------------------", _LOG_LINE );
    
    Delay_ms( 500 );
}

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• I2C
• UART
• Conversions

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.
