Click library

  • Author : MikroE Team
  • Date : Feb 2020.
  • Type : SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Expand 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 Expand Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • Config Object Initialization function.

    void expand_cfg_setup ( expand_cfg_t *cfg );

  • Initialization function.

    EXPAND_RETVAL expand_init ( expand_t ctx, expand_cfg_t cfg );

Example key functions :

  • Set expander PORTA direction function.

    void expand_set_direction_port_a ( expand_t *ctx, uint8_t mod_cmd, uint8_t write_data );

  • Write one byte of data to register for PORTA function.

    void expand_write_port_a ( expand_t *ctx, uint8_t mod_cmd, uint8_t write_data );

  • Reset function.

    void expand_reset ( expand_t *ctx );

Examples Description

This applicatioin use for expansion I/O lines.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initialization driver enable's - GPIO, reset MCP23S17 chip, set PORTA to be output and PORTB to be input, set default configuration and start write log.


void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    expand_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.

    expand_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    EXPAND_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    expand_init( &expand, &cfg );

    expand_default_configuration( &expand, EXPAND_SPI_MODULE_POSITION_0 );

    expand_set_direction_port_a( &expand, EXPAND_SPI_MODULE_POSITION_0, EXPAND_PORT_DIRECTION_OUTPUT );

    expand_set_direction_port_b( &expand, EXPAND_SPI_MODULE_POSITION_0, EXPAND_PORT_DIRECTION_INPUT );

    expand_set_pull_ups_port_b( &expand, EXPAND_SPI_MODULE_POSITION_0, 0xFF );
}

Application Task

This is a example which demonstrates the use of Expand Click board. Expand Click communicates with register via SPI protocol by write and read from register, set configuration and state and read configuration and state. Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes. All data logs on usb uart for aproximetly every 500 ms.


void application_task ( void )
{
    pin_position = 1;

    for ( position = 0; position < 8; position++ )
    {
        expand_write_port_a( &expand, EXPAND_SPI_MODULE_POSITION_0, pin_position );
        log_printf( &logger, " PA%d set\r\n", (uint16_t) position );

        port_status = expand_read_port_b( &expand, EXPAND_SPI_MODULE_POSITION_0 );

        log_printf( &logger, " Status PB (input) : %d  \r\n", (uint16_t) port_status );
        log_printf( &logger, "----------------\r\n" );

        pin_position <<= 1;

        Delay_ms ( 500 );
    }
}  

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.Expand

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.
