Brushless 4 Click

Click library

  • Author : Nikola Peric
  • Date : Feb 2022.
  • Type : PWM type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Brushless4 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 Brushless4 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • Config Object Initialization function.

    void brushless4_cfg_setup ( brushless4_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Initialization function.

    BRUSHLESS4_RETVAL brushless4_init ( brushless4_t ctx, brushless4_cfg_t cfg );

  • Click Default Configuration function.

    void brushless4_default_cfg ( brushless4_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • This function sets the PWM duty cycle.

    void brushless4_set_duty_cycle ( brushless4_t *ctx, pwm_data_t duty_cycle );

  • This function starts PWM module.

    void brushless4_pwm_start ( brushless4_t *ctx );

  • This function sets the state of the PWM pin.

    void brushless4_pwm_pin ( brushless4_t *ctx, uint8_t state );

Examples Description

This Click has many features for driving a wide range of small to medium BLDC motors. It provides the rotor position digital output, via the FG pin, routed to the mikroBUS INT pin.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the GPIO driver and configures the PWM peripheral for controlling the speed of the motor.


void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    brushless4_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * 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 ----" );

    //  Click initialization.

    brushless4_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    BRUSHLESS4_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    brushless4_init( &brushless4, &cfg );

    brushless4_set_duty_cycle ( &brushless4, 0.0 );
    brushless4_pwm_start( &brushless4 );  

    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Task ----" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

Application Task

This is an example that demonstrates the use of a Brushless 4 Click board. Brushless 4 Click communicates with the register via the PWM interface.
Increases and decreasing the speed of the motor demonstrate speed control. Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.


void application_task ( void )
{
    static int8_t duty_cnt = 1;
    static int8_t duty_inc = 1;
    float duty = duty_cnt / 10.0;

    brushless4_set_duty_cycle ( &brushless4, duty );
    log_printf( &logger, "Duty: %d%%\r\n", ( uint16_t )( duty_cnt * 10 ) );
    Delay_ms ( 500 );

    if ( 10 == duty_cnt ) 
    {
        duty_inc = -1;
        log_printf( &logger, " Slowing down... \r\n" );
    }
    else if ( 0 == duty_cnt ) 
    {
        duty_inc = 1;
        log_printf( &logger, " Increasing the motor speed... \r\n" );
    }
    duty_cnt += duty_inc;
}

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.Brushless4

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.

ReRAM 2 Click

0

ReRAM 2 Click is a compact add-on board containing highly reliable resistive random-access memory. This board features the MB85AS8MT, an 8Mbit memory organized as 1,048,576 words of 8 bits from Fujitsu Semiconductor. The MB85AS8MT uses the resistance-variable memory process and silicon-gate CMOS process technologies to form nonvolatile memory cells. This SPI configurable ReRAM can withstand many write cycles (1x106 rewrite operations), has a data retention period greater than ten years, and can read and write to random addresses with very negligible delay. This Click board™ is ideal as a nonvolatile storage media or temporary RAM expansion for storing variables in any embedded application that requires rapid writes and unlimited endurance.

1-Wire I2C click

10

1-Wire I2C click converts the 1-wire signal from the MCU to I2C signal, which is then sent to the slave, and vice versa. The click carries DS28E17 1-Wire-to-I2C master bridge from Maxim Integrated. 1-Wire I2C click runs on a 3.3V power supply.
