Click library

  • Author : Stefan Ilic
  • Date : Oct 2022.
  • Type : GPIO type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Boost 8 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 Boost 8 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • boost8_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void boost8_cfg_setup ( boost8_cfg_t *cfg );
  • boost8_init Initialization function.

    err_t boost8_init ( boost8_t *ctx, boost8_cfg_t *cfg );
  • boost8_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    void boost8_default_cfg ( boost8_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • boost8_enable_positive_voltage Enable positive voltage output function.

    void boost8_enable_positive_voltage( boost8_t *ctx );
  • boost8_disable_positive_voltage Disable positive voltage output function.

    void boost8_disable_positive_voltage( boost8_t *ctx );
  • boost8_enable_negative_voltage Enable negative voltage output function.

    void boost8_enable_negative_voltage( boost8_t *ctx );

Example Description

This is an example that demonstrates the use of the Boost 8 Click board.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes EN+ and EN- pins, UART log, and performs default configuration.


void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    boost8_cfg_t boost8_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.
    boost8_cfg_setup( &boost8_cfg );
    BOOST8_MAP_MIKROBUS( boost8_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( DIGITAL_OUT_UNSUPPORTED_PIN == boost8_init( &boost8, &boost8_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    boost8_default_cfg ( &boost8 );

    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
    boost8_list_of_commands();
}

Application Task

Waits for user input in order to determine what output should be enabled.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    char inx;

    // Waiting for the user input and performing actions based on a selected command.
    if ( log_read( &logger, &inx, 1 ) != BOOST8_ERROR )
    {
        switch(inx)
        {
            case '1' :
            {
                log_printf( &logger, "Turning on positive output \r\n" );
                boost8_enable_positive_voltage( &boost8 );
                break;
            }
            case '2' :
            {
                log_printf( &logger, "Turning off positive output \r\n" );
                boost8_disable_positive_voltage( &boost8 );
                break;
            }
            case '3' :
            {
                log_printf( &logger, "Turning on negative output \r\n" );
                boost8_enable_negative_voltage( &boost8 );
                break;
            }
            case '4':
            {
                log_printf( &logger, "Turning off negative output \r\n" );
                boost8_disable_negative_voltage( &boost8 );
                break;
            }
            case '5' :
            {
                log_printf( &logger, "Turning on both outputs \r\n" );
                boost8_enable_both_outputs( &boost8 );
                break;
            }
            case '6' :
            {
                log_printf( &logger, "Turning off both outputs \r\n" );
                boost8_disable_both_outputs( &boost8 );
                break;
            }
            default:
            {
                log_printf( &logger, "> Invalid command \r\n" );
                boost8_list_of_commands();
                break;
            }
        }
    }

}

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.Boost8

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.

GNSS 14 Click is a compact add-on board that provides fast positioning capability to your application. This board features the MIA-M10Q, a standard precision GNSS module from u-blox. It has an exceptional sensitivity and acquisition time for all L1 GNSS signals, attributed to its integrated M10 standard precision low-power platform. The M10 platform supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). The high number of visible satellites enables the receiver to select the best signals. This maximizes position availability, particularly under challenging conditions like deep urban canyons.
