DTMF Generator Click

DTMF Generator Click is a compact add-on board that generates DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) signals designed for MCU interfaces. This board features the HT9200A, a dual-tone multi-frequency decoder mostly used in mobile communications systems from Holtek Semiconductor Inc.

• Date : Jul 2021.
• Type : GPIO type

Software Support

We provide a library for the DTMFGenerator 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 DTMFGenerator Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• dtmfgenerator_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void dtmfgenerator_cfg_setup ( dtmfgenerator_cfg_t *cfg );

• dtmfgenerator_init Initialization function.

  err_t dtmfgenerator_init ( dtmfgenerator_t *ctx, dtmfgenerator_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

• dtmfgenerator_set_dat Set DATA ( RST ) pin state function.

  void dtmfgenerator_set_dat ( dtmfgenerator_t *ctx, uint8_t pin_state );

• dtmfgenerator_power_on Power ON function.

  void dtmfgenerator_power_on ( dtmfgenerator_t *ctx );

• dtmfgenerator_transmit_out_tone The function transmit duration time of the desired tone.

  void dtmfgenerator_transmit_out_tone ( dtmfgenerator_t *ctx, uint8_t out_tone, uint16_t delay_m_s );

Example Description

This is an example which demonstrates the use of DTMF Generator Click board.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initialization driver enables - GPIO, run the power-on sequence, also write log.

void application_init ( void ) {
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    dtmfgenerator_cfg_t dtmfgenerator_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 " );

    // Click initialization.

Application Task

DTMF Generator Click board DTMF generator transmits the signal for generating tone for digits : "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "A", "B", "C", "D", "*" and "#". All data logs write on USB uart changes.

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.
