Click library

  • Author : Stefan Ilic
  • Date : Mar 2024.
  • Type : UART type

Software Support

We provide a library for the LTE Cat.1 3 NAX 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 LTE Cat.1 3 NAX Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • ltecat13nax_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void ltecat13nax_cfg_setup ( ltecat13nax_cfg_t *cfg );
  • ltecat13nax_init Initialization function.

    err_t ltecat13nax_init ( ltecat13nax_t *ctx, ltecat13nax_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

  • ltecat13nax_write_register This function writes a data byte into the selected register address.

    err_t ltecat13nax_write_register ( ltecat13nax_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t data_in );
  • ltecat13nax_max9860_cfg This function is used to set basic config for MAX9860 of LTE Cat.1 3 NAX Click board.

    err_t ltecat13nax_max9860_cfg ( ltecat13nax_t *ctx );
  • ltecat13nax_send_sms_pdu This function sends text message to a phone number in PDU mode.

    err_t ltecat13nax_send_sms_pdu ( ltecat13nax_t *ctx, uint8_t *service_center_number, uint8_t *phone_number, uint8_t *sms_text );

Example Description

Application example shows device capability of connecting to the network and sending SMS, TCP/UDP messages, calling the selected number, or getting GNSS location using standard "AT" commands.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Sets the device configuration for sending SMS, TCP/UDP messages, calling the selected number or GNSS location.


void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    ltecat13nax_cfg_t ltecat13nax_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.
    ltecat13nax_cfg_setup( &ltecat13nax_cfg );
    LTECAT13NAX_MAP_MIKROBUS( ltecat13nax_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( UART_ERROR == ltecat13nax_init( &ltecat13nax, &ltecat13nax_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    ltecat13nax_process( );
    ltecat13nax_clear_app_buf( );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );

    if ( 0 == ltecat13nax_get_ri_pin( &ltecat13nax ) )

        ltecat13nax_start_up( &ltecat13nax );
        error_flag = ltecat13nax_rsp_check( LTECAT13NAX_RSP_RDY );
        ltecat13nax_error_check( error_flag );
    }

    // Restart device
    #define MIN_FUN_DEVICE "0"
    ltecat13nax_send_cmd_with_params( &ltecat13nax, LTECAT13NAX_CMD_CFUN, MIN_FUN_DEVICE );
    error_flag = ltecat13nax_rsp_check( LTECAT13NAX_RSP_OK );
    ltecat13nax_error_check( error_flag );

    ltecat13nax_send_cmd_with_params( &ltecat13nax, LTECAT13NAX_CMD_CFUN, FULL_FUN_DEVICE );
    error_flag = ltecat13nax_rsp_check( LTECAT13NAX_RSP_OK );
    ltecat13nax_error_check( error_flag );

    // Check communication
    ltecat13nax_send_cmd( &ltecat13nax, LTECAT13NAX_CMD_AT );
    error_flag = ltecat13nax_rsp_check( LTECAT13NAX_RSP_OK );
    ltecat13nax_error_check( error_flag );

    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
    example_state = LTECAT13NAX_CONFIGURE_FOR_NETWORK;
}

Application Task

Depending on the selected demo example, it sends an SMS message (in PDU or TXT mode) or a TCP/UDP message, calls the selected number or gets GNSS location.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    switch ( example_state )
    {
        case LTECAT13NAX_CONFIGURE_FOR_NETWORK:
        {
            if ( LTECAT13NAX_OK == ltecat13nax_cfg_for_network( ) )
            {
                example_state = LTECAT13NAX_WAIT_FOR_CONNECTION;
            }
            break;
        }
        case LTECAT13NAX_WAIT_FOR_CONNECTION:
        {
            if ( LTECAT13NAX_OK == ltecat13nax_check_connection( ) )
            {
                example_state = LTECAT13NAX_CONFIGURE_FOR_EXAMPLE;
            }
            break;
        }
        case LTECAT13NAX_CONFIGURE_FOR_EXAMPLE:
        {
            if ( LTECAT13NAX_OK == ltecat13nax_cfg_for_example( ) )
            {
                example_state = LTECAT13NAX_EXAMPLE;
            }
            break;
        }
        case LTECAT13NAX_EXAMPLE:
        {
            ltecat13nax_example( );
            break;
        }
        default:
        {
            log_error( &logger, " Example state." );
            break;
        }
    }
}

Note

In order for the examples to work, user needs to set the APN and SMSC (SMS PDU mode only) of entered SIM card as well as the phone number (SMS mode only) to which he wants to send an SMS. Enter valid values for the following macros: SIM_APN, SIM_SMSC and PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE.

Example:

  • SIM_APN "internet"
  • SIM_SMSC "+381610401"
  • PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE "+381659999999"

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.LTECat13NAX

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.
