CDC Click is a compact add-on board that allows your application do a conversion of capacitance to a digital format. This board features the PCAP04, a capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) from ScioSense. It also includes an integrated digital signal processor (DSP) for on-chip data post-processing. The converter has high flexibility and allows you to convert grounded capacitors and floating capacitors to a digital format. It has up to 50KHz sampling rate in up to 20-bit resolution.

Click library

  • Author : Stefan Filipovic
  • Date : Oct 2023.
  • Type : I2C/SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the CDC 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 CDC Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • cdc_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void cdc_cfg_setup ( cdc_cfg_t *cfg );
  • cdc_init Initialization function.

    err_t cdc_init ( cdc_t *ctx, cdc_cfg_t *cfg );
  • cdc_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    err_t cdc_default_cfg ( cdc_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • cdc_write_config This function writes configuration data starting from the selected config address.

    err_t cdc_write_config ( cdc_t *ctx, uint8_t address, const uint8_t *data_in, uint8_t len );
  • cdc_send_opcode This function sends a desired opcode command byte.

    err_t cdc_send_opcode ( cdc_t *ctx, uint8_t opcode );
  • cdc_read_results This function reads all results and status registers.

    err_t cdc_read_results ( cdc_t *ctx, cdc_results_t *results );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of CDC Click board by reading capacitance measurements from C3/C2 and C5/C4 ports calculated from pure capacitance ratio between those ports and port C1/C0 which is used as external C reference.

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. */
    cdc_cfg_t cdc_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.
    cdc_cfg_setup( &cdc_cfg );
    CDC_MAP_MIKROBUS( cdc_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    err_t init_flag = cdc_init( &cdc, &cdc_cfg );
    if ( ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) || ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( CDC_ERROR == cdc_default_cfg ( &cdc ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

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

Application Task

Starts measurement and reads the results. The results data is displayed on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    cdc_results_t results;
    cdc_send_opcode ( &cdc, CDC_OPCODE_CDC_START );
    Delay_ms ( 200 );
    if ( CDC_OK == cdc_read_results ( &cdc, &results ) )
    {
        log_printf ( &logger, " C1/C0: %.1f pF\r\n", 
                     results.res_0 * CDC_REF - CDC_INT_CAP_PF );
        log_printf ( &logger, " C3/C2: %.1f pF\r\n", 
                     results.res_1 * CDC_REF - CDC_INT_CAP_PF );
        log_printf ( &logger, " C5/C4: %.1f pF\r\n\n", 
                     results.res_2 * CDC_REF - CDC_INT_CAP_PF );
        Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    }
}

Note

For better accuracy and higher measurement range, add 200pF external capacitor between C1/C0 ports and set it below as CDC_EXT_CAP_C1_C0_PF macro before running the application. This way you will be able to measure capacitance in range from 1 to 2000pF.

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.CDC

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.

ADC 19 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a high-performance data converter. This board features the ADC122S101, a low-power two-channel CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter from Texas Instruments. This SPI configurable analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is fully specified over a sample rate range of 500ksps to 1Msps, offering high reliability and performance. The converter is based on a successive-approximation register architecture with an internal track-and-hold circuit configurable to accept one or two input signals at its input channels.
