Click library

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

Software Support

We provide a library for the Expand 17 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 Expand 17 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • expand17_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void expand17_cfg_setup ( expand17_cfg_t *cfg );
  • expand17_init Initialization function.

    err_t expand17_init ( expand17_t *ctx, expand17_cfg_t *cfg );
  • expand17_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    err_t expand17_default_cfg ( expand17_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • expand17_set_io_dir This function is used to set input or output direction of pins.

    err_t expand17_set_io_dir ( expand17_t *ctx, uint8_t input_pins, uint8_t output_pins );
  • expand17_set_output_state This function is used to set output state of the pins.

    err_t expand17_set_output_state ( expand17_t *ctx, uint8_t clr_mask, uint8_t set_mask );
  • expand17_get_input_state This function is used to get state of the input pins.

    err_t expand17_get_input_state ( expand17_t *ctx, uint8_t *input_state );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Expand 17 Click board by setting and reading the ports state.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration which sets half of pins as output ( IO5, IO6, IO7 and IO8 ) and the half of the pins as inputs ( IO1, IO2, IO3 and IO4 ).


void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    expand17_cfg_t expand17_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.
    expand17_cfg_setup( &expand17_cfg );
    EXPAND17_MAP_MIKROBUS( expand17_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == expand17_init( &expand17, &expand17_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( EXPAND17_ERROR == expand17_default_cfg ( &expand17 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

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

Application Task

Sets the state of the output pins and then reads the status of the input pins and displays the results on the USB UART approximately every 2 seconds.

Note

In order for this example to work as intended it is necessary to connect the input and output pins eg. IO1 and IO5, IO2 and IO6 etc. Floating input pins will be shown as a high state.

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.Expand17

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.
