Click library

  • Author : Stefan Filipovic
  • Date : Feb 2024.
  • Type : SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Stepper 7 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 Stepper 7 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • stepper7_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void stepper7_cfg_setup ( stepper7_cfg_t *cfg );
  • stepper7_init Initialization function.

    err_t stepper7_init ( stepper7_t *ctx, stepper7_cfg_t *cfg );
  • stepper7_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    err_t stepper7_default_cfg ( stepper7_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • stepper7_set_direction This function sets the motor direction to clockwise or counter-clockwise in ctx->direction.

    void stepper7_set_direction ( stepper7_t *ctx, uint8_t dir );
  • stepper7_set_step_mode This function sets the step mode resolution settings in ctx->step_mode.

    void stepper7_set_step_mode ( stepper7_t *ctx, uint8_t mode );
  • stepper7_drive_motor This function drives the motor for the specific number of steps at the selected speed.

    err_t stepper7_drive_motor ( stepper7_t *ctx, uint32_t steps, uint8_t speed );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of the Stepper 7 Click board by driving the motor in both directions for a desired number of steps.

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. */
    stepper7_cfg_t stepper7_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.
    stepper7_cfg_setup( &stepper7_cfg );
    STEPPER7_MAP_MIKROBUS( stepper7_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == stepper7_init( &stepper7, &stepper7_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( STEPPER7_ERROR == stepper7_default_cfg ( &stepper7 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

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

Application Task

Drives the motor clockwise for 200 full steps and then counter-clockiwse for 200 half steps and 800 1/8th steps with 2 seconds delay on driving mode change. All data is being logged on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.

void application_task ( void )
{
    log_printf ( &logger, " Move 200 full steps clockwise, speed: slow\r\n\n" );
    stepper7_set_direction ( &stepper7, STEPPER7_DIR_CW );
    stepper7_set_step_mode ( &stepper7, STEPPER7_MODE_FULL_STEP );
    stepper7_drive_motor ( &stepper7, 200, STEPPER7_SPEED_SLOW );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );

    log_printf ( &logger, " Move 200 half steps counter-clockwise, speed: medium\r\n\n" );
    stepper7_set_direction ( &stepper7, STEPPER7_DIR_CCW );
    stepper7_set_step_mode ( &stepper7, STEPPER7_MODE_HALF_STEP );
    stepper7_drive_motor ( &stepper7, 200, STEPPER7_SPEED_MEDIUM );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );

    log_printf ( &logger, " Move 800 1/8th steps counter-clockwise, speed: fast\r\n\n" );
    stepper7_set_direction ( &stepper7, STEPPER7_DIR_CCW );
    stepper7_set_step_mode ( &stepper7, STEPPER7_MODE_1_OVER_8_STEP );
    stepper7_drive_motor ( &stepper7, 800, STEPPER7_SPEED_FAST );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    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.Stepper7

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.

NeoMesh Click - 868MHz is a compact add-on board with a low-power, long-range transceiver, ideal for Mesh wireless networking. This board features the NC1000C-8, a wireless Mesh network module from NeoCortec. With an additional antenna that MikroE offers connected to the module’s u.Fl connector, you can create a fully functional wireless Mesh network node that will work in the Sub-GHz frequency band of 868MHz. The module has a generic application layer that can configured to suit applications.
