Click library

  • Author : Stefan Ilic
  • Date : Jun 2021.
  • Type : UART type

Software Support

We provide a library for the USBUART4 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 from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for USBUART4 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • usbuart4_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void usbuart4_cfg_setup ( usbuart4_cfg_t *cfg );
  • usbuart4_init Initialization function.

    err_t usbuart4_init ( usbuart4_t *ctx, usbuart4_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

  • usbuart4_pwr_ctrl This function sets the Click turns Click on.

    void usbuart4_pwr_ctrl ( usbuart4_t *ctx, uint8_t state );
  • usbuart4_set_cts This function sets CTS pin.

    void usbuart4_set_cts ( usbuart4_t *ctx, uint8_t state );
  • usbuart4_send_command This function is used for sending commands.

    void usbuart4_send_command ( usbuart4_t *ctx, char *command );

Example Description

This example reads and processes data from USB UART 4 clicks.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes driver and power module.


void application_init ( void ) {
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    usbuart4_cfg_t usbuart4_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * 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 " );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );

    // Click initialization.

    usbuart4_cfg_setup( &usbuart4_cfg );
    USBUART4_MAP_MIKROBUS( usbuart4_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );

    err_t init_flag  = usbuart4_init( &usbuart4, &usbuart4_cfg );
    if ( UART_ERROR == init_flag ) {
        log_error( &logger, " Application Init Error. " );
        log_info( &logger, " Please, run program again... " );

        for ( ; ; );
    }

    app_buf_len = 0;

    usbuart4_pwr_ctrl( &usbuart4, USBUART4_POWER_ON );
    usbuart4_set_cts( &usbuart4, USBUART4_CTS_NO_ACTIVE );
    usbuart4_set_mode( &usbuart4, USBUART4_MODE_NORMAL );

    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Reads data and echos it back to device and logs it to board.


void application_task ( void ) {
    app_buf_len = usbuart4_generic_read( &usbuart4, app_buf, PROCESS_BUFFER_SIZE );

    if ( app_buf_len > 0 ) {
        log_printf( &logger, "%s", app_buf );
        memset( app_buf, 0, PROCESS_BUFFER_SIZE );
    }
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.USBUART4

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. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.

BATT-MON 4 Click is a compact add-on board representing an advanced battery monitoring solution. This board features the LTC3337, a primary battery state of health (SOH) monitor with a built-in precision coulomb counter from Analog Devices. The LTC3337 is designed to be placed in series with a primary battery with minimal associated series voltage drop. The patented infinite dynamic range coulomb counter tallies all accumulated battery discharge and stores it in an internal register accessible via an I2C interface. In addition, this Click board™ also can set the input current limit and has an additional discharge alarm interrupt and SOH monitoring which measures and reports via an I2C interface.
