Software Support

We provide a library for the Thumbwheel 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 Thumbwheel Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• thumbwheel_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void thumbwheel_cfg_setup ( thumbwheel_cfg_t *cfg );

• thumbwheel_init Initialization function.

  err_t thumbwheel_init ( thumbwheel_t *ctx, thumbwheel_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

• thumbwheel_get_position This function gets the position of the rotary sprocket.

  err_t thumbwheel_get_position ( thumbwheel_t *ctx, uint8_t *position ); 

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Thumbwheel Click board by displaying the exact position of the rotary sprocket.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and checks the communication.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    thumbwheel_cfg_t thumbwheel_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.
    thumbwheel_cfg_setup( &thumbwheel_cfg );
    THUMBWHEEL_MAP_MIKROBUS( thumbwheel_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( ONE_WIRE_ERROR == thumbwheel_init( &thumbwheel, &thumbwheel_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( THUMBWHEEL_ERROR == thumbwheel_check_communication ( &thumbwheel ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

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

Application Task

Demonstrates the usage of thumbwheel_get_position function which gives the exact position of the rotary sprocket. The position will be displayed on the UART Terminal.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    static uint8_t old_position = 0xFF;
    uint8_t position; 

    if ( ( THUMBWHEEL_OK == thumbwheel_get_position ( &thumbwheel, &position ) ) && 
         ( old_position != position ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Position: %u \r\n\n", ( uint16_t ) position );
        old_position = position; 
    }
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
}

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.Thumbwheel

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.
