This project is a simple demonstration of working with the <b>Current Click</b> board
based on the MCP3201 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with SPI Interface.
This example demosntrates measuring the current drawn by the consumer using a shunt resistor.
Current click is s a compact and easy solution for adding current measurement in your design. It features INA196 current shunt monitor, MCP3201 12-bit ADC, MAX6106 voltage reference as well as two screw terminals. Current Click communicates with target board microcontroller via mikroBUS SPI (SDO, SCK, CS) and AN lines.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions that enables the usage of the Current click board.
It offers reading from output register and calculations that result in relatively accurate current value.
Key functions:
uint16_t current_dataRead()
- Function is used to read data from output register.float current_avgData()
- Function is used to calculate average raw data value.float current_getCurrentData( float rShunt )
- Function is used to calculate current in mA.Examples description
The application is composed of the three sections :
void applicationTask( ) { current = current_getCurrentData( _CURRENT_RSHUNT_10 ); FloatToStr( current, logTxt ); mikrobus_logWrite( " Current: ", _LOG_TEXT ); mikrobus_logWrite( logTxt, _LOG_TEXT ); mikrobus_logWrite( "mA ", _LOG_LINE ); mikrobus_logWrite( "-----------------------", _LOG_LINE ); Delay_ms( 1000 ); }
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
SPI
UART
Conversions
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. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
NFC 5 Click is a compact add-on board designed for advanced NFC applications. This board features the ST25R3918, a multipurpose NFC transceiver from STMicroelectronics. This Click board™ is built to cater to the growing needs of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, providing robust NFC reader functionalities, passive peer-to-peer communication, and card emulation modes with outstanding analog performance. Its notable features include exceptional read range with minimal power output, advanced noise reduction, and compatibility with ISO14443, ISO15693, and NFC Forum Tag types 1, 2, 4, and 5.
[Learn More]Proximity 3 Click is an intelligent proximity and light sensing device, which features the VCNL4200 sensor from Vishay - high sensitivity long distance proximity sensor (PS), ambient light sensor (ALS) and 940 nm IRED, all in one small package.
[Learn More]Load Cell 5 Click is a compact add-on board that represents a weigh scale solution. This board features the AD7780, a pin-programmable, low power, 24-bit sigma-delta ΣΔ ADC from Analog Devices. It interfaces directly to the load cell, where the low-level signal from the load cell is amplified by the AD7780’s internal low noise programmable gain amplifier programmed to operate with a gain of 128 or 1. It also has a power-down mode allowing the user to switch off the power to the bridge sensor and power-down the AD7780 when not converting, increasing the product battery life. This Click board™ has many features that make it a perfect solution for safety-critical and weight measurement applications.
