Stepper 22 Click is a compact add-on board designed for precise motion control of bipolar stepper motors and brushed DC motors. This board features the DRV8711, a bipolar stepper motor gate driver from Texas Instruments, which uses external N-channel MOSFETs to drive motors with up to 5A of output current. The board features a wide range of microstepping options from full-step to 1/256-step, adaptive blanking time, and various current decay modes, ensuring smooth and accurate motor operation. Control is achieved via a standard SPI interface and STEP/DIR inputs, with additional management through an onboard I2C-configurable GPIO expander.

Click library

  • Author : Stefan Filipovic
  • Date : May 2024.
  • Type : I2C/SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Stepper 22 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 22 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • stepper22_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void stepper22_cfg_setup ( stepper22_cfg_t *cfg );
  • stepper22_init Initialization function.

    err_t stepper22_init ( stepper22_t *ctx, stepper22_cfg_t *cfg );
  • stepper22_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    err_t stepper22_default_cfg ( stepper22_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • stepper22_set_direction This function sets the motor direction by setting the DIR pin logic state.

    err_t stepper22_set_direction ( stepper22_t *ctx, uint8_t dir );
  • stepper22_set_step_mode This function sets the step mode resolution settings.

    err_t stepper22_set_step_mode ( stepper22_t *ctx, uint8_t mode );
  • stepper22_drive_motor This function drives the motor for the specific number of steps at the selected speed.

    err_t stepper22_drive_motor ( stepper22_t *ctx, uint32_t steps, uint8_t speed );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of the Stepper 22 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. */
    stepper22_cfg_t stepper22_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.
    stepper22_cfg_setup( &stepper22_cfg );
    STEPPER22_MAP_MIKROBUS( stepper22_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    err_t init_flag = stepper22_init( &stepper22, &stepper22_cfg );
    if ( ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) || ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( STEPPER22_ERROR == stepper22_default_cfg ( &stepper22 ) )
    {
        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 400 quarter steps with a 1 second 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" );
    stepper22_set_direction ( &stepper22, STEPPER22_DIR_CW );
    stepper22_set_step_mode ( &stepper22, STEPPER22_MODE_FULL_STEP );
    stepper22_drive_motor ( &stepper22, 200, STEPPER22_SPEED_SLOW );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );

    log_printf ( &logger, " Move 200 half steps counter-clockwise, speed: medium\r\n\n" );
    stepper22_set_direction ( &stepper22, STEPPER22_DIR_CCW );
    stepper22_set_step_mode ( &stepper22, STEPPER22_MODE_HALF_STEP );
    stepper22_drive_motor ( &stepper22, 200, STEPPER22_SPEED_MEDIUM );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );

    log_printf ( &logger, " Move 400 quarter steps counter-clockwise, speed: fast\r\n\n" );
    stepper22_set_direction ( &stepper22, STEPPER22_DIR_CCW );
    stepper22_set_step_mode ( &stepper22, STEPPER22_MODE_QUARTER_STEP );
    stepper22_drive_motor ( &stepper22, 400, STEPPER22_SPEED_FAST );
    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.Stepper22

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.

nvSRAM 2 Click

0

nvSRAM 2 Click is a compact add-on board that contains the most reliable nonvolatile memory. This board features the CY14B101Q, a 1Mbit nvSRAM organized as 128K words of 8 bits each with a nonvolatile element in each memory cell from Cypress Semiconductor. The embedded nonvolatile elements incorporate the QuantumTrap technology and provide highly reliable nonvolatile storage of data. Data transfer, initiated by the user through SPI commands, from SRAM to the nonvolatile elements takes place automatically at Power-Down. On the other hand, during the Power-Up, data is restored to the SRAM from the nonvolatile memory. This Click board™ is suitable for all applications that require fast access and high reliability of stored data, and unlimited endurance.
