Temp Alarm click

Temp Alarm Click is a compact add-on board that adds temperature alarm functionalities to your project. This board features the PTMP4718, a high-accuracy remote and local temperature sensor from Texas Instruments. This temperature sensor has pin-programmable alert thresholds, with a fault queue for debounce.

Click library

• Author : Stefan Ilic
• Date : Aug 2023.
• Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Temp Alarm 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 Temp Alarm Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• tempalarm_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void tempalarm_cfg_setup ( tempalarm_cfg_t *cfg );

• tempalarm_init Initialization function.

  err_t tempalarm_init ( tempalarm_t *ctx, tempalarm_cfg_t *cfg );

• tempalarm_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

  err_t tempalarm_default_cfg ( tempalarm_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

• tempalarm_write_reg Temp Alarm register writing function.

  err_t tempalarm_write_reg ( tempalarm_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t data_in );

• tempalarm_read_remote_temperature Temp Alarm remote sensor read temperature function.

  err_t tempalarm_read_remote_temperature ( tempalarm_t *ctx, float *temperature );

• tempalarm_set_alarm_high_limit Temp Alarm remote sensor set limit high temperature function.

  err_t tempalarm_set_alarm_high_limit ( tempalarm_t *ctx, float max_temperature );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Temp Alarm click board by reading and displaying the temperature measurements and monitoring it.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and sets the Local sensor critical temperature at 30 degC with hysteresis of 1 degC, and Remote sensor alarm temperature at 30 degC.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    tempalarm_cfg_t tempalarm_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.
    tempalarm_cfg_setup( &tempalarm_cfg );
    TEMPALARM_MAP_MIKROBUS( tempalarm_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == tempalarm_init( &tempalarm, &tempalarm_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( TEMPALARM_ERROR == tempalarm_default_cfg ( &tempalarm ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

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

Application Task

Reads the temperature measurement in degrees Celsius and displays the results on the USB UART approximately once per second. Monitoring alarm and critical state.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    uint8_t flag_data = 0; 
    int8_t local_temp = 0;
    float remote_temp = 0;
    tempalarm_get_alarms( &tempalarm, &flag_data );
    if ( TEMPALARM_ADC_BUSY_MASK != ( TEMPALARM_ADC_BUSY_MASK & flag_data ) )
    {
        tempalarm_read_temperature( &tempalarm, &local_temp );
        tempalarm_read_remote_temp( &tempalarm, &remote_temp );
        log_printf( &logger, " Local temperature : %d degC \r\n" , ( int16_t ) local_temp );
        log_printf( &logger, " Remote temperature : %.3f degC \r\n" , remote_temp );
        log_printf( &logger, " -------------------------------- \r\n" );
    }
    if ( TEMPALARM_PIN_STATE_LOW == tempalarm_get_alr_pin( &tempalarm ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Alarm is on, remote temperature  \r\n" );
        log_printf( &logger, "      is higher then 30 degC      \r\n" );
        log_printf( &logger, " -------------------------------- \r\n" );
    }
    if ( TEMPALARM_PIN_STATE_LOW == tempalarm_get_tcr_pin( &tempalarm ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Alarm is on, local temperature  \r\n" );
        log_printf( &logger, "      is higher then 30 degC      \r\n" );
        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.TempAlarm

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.
