Ambient 20 Click is a compact add-on board used to measure the amount of the present ambient light. This board features the BU27030NUC, a 16-bit digital-output ambient light sensor with an I2C interface from Rohm Semiconductor. The BU27030NUC has a flexible and wide operating range of up to 20klx with a maximum resolution of 0.0007lux/count, providing an excellent responsivity close to the human eyes' response. It also features inherent 50Hz/60Hz light noise rejection and excellent IR-cut characteristics for high robustness at high sensitivity.

Click library

  • Author : Stefan Ilic
  • Date : Nov 2022.
  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Ambient 20 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 Ambient 20 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • ambient20_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void ambient20_cfg_setup ( ambient20_cfg_t *cfg );
  • ambient20_init Initialization function.

    err_t ambient20_init ( ambient20_t *ctx, ambient20_cfg_t *cfg );
  • ambient20_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    err_t ambient20_default_cfg ( ambient20_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • ambient20_sw_reset Software reset function.

    err_t ambient20_sw_reset ( ambient20_t *ctx );
  • ambient20_set_gain Set data gain function.

    err_t ambient20_set_gain ( ambient20_t *ctx, uint8_t data0_gain, uint8_t data1_gain );
  • ambient20_read_data0 Read data0 function.

    err_t ambient20_read_data0 ( ambient20_t *ctx, uint16_t *data0_out );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Ambient 20 Click board by measuring the ambient light level.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.


void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    ambient20_cfg_t ambient20_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.
    ambient20_cfg_setup( &ambient20_cfg );
    AMBIENT20_MAP_MIKROBUS( ambient20_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == ambient20_init( &ambient20, &ambient20_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( AMBIENT20_ERROR == ambient20_default_cfg ( &ambient20 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    uint8_t id;
    ambient20_get_manufacturer_id( &ambient20, &id );

    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - -\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, " Part ID = 0x%.2X \r\n", ( uint16_t ) id );
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - -\r\n" );

    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - -\r\n" );
}

Application Task

Measuring ambient light level by reading DATA0 and DATA1 channels of the Ambient 20 Click board and displaying it using UART Serial terminal.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    //  Task implementation.
    float data0, data1;
    ambient20_get_data_lux( &ambient20, &data0, &data1 );

    log_printf( &logger, "Data 0: %.2f lx \r\n", data0 );
    log_printf( &logger, "Data 1: %.2f lx \r\n", data1 );
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - -\r\n" );

    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

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.Ambient20

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.

UART MUX 4 Click is a compact add-on board that switches the UART pins (RX and TX) from the mikroBUS™ socket to one of the two available outputs. This board features the 74HC4066D, a quad single-pole, single-throw analog switch from Nexperia. The UART MUX 4 Click allows you to switch from one multiplexed UART to another easily, but not both simultaneously.
