Boost 3 Click

Boost 3 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Click Library

• Author : MikroE Team
• Date : Sep 2020.
• Type : GPIO type

Software Support

Example Description

Boost 3 Click provides an adjustable output voltage through the onboard potentiometer. The chip is a 700-kHz pulse-width modulating (PWM) step-up converter with an 85-V switch FET with an input ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Boost3

Example Key Functions

• boost3_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void boost3_cfg_setup ( boost3_cfg_t *cfg );

• boost3_init Initialization function.

err_t boost3_init ( boost3_t *ctx, boost3_cfg_t *cfg );

• boost3_dev_enable Function is used to enable or disable the device.

void boost3_dev_enable ( boost3_t *ctx, uint8_t state );

Application Init

Initializes GPIO and LOG structures, and set CS pin as output.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    boost3_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * 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.

    boost3_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    BOOST3_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    boost3_init( &boost3, &cfg );
}

Application Task

Turns ON the device for 10 seconds and then turns it OFF for 3 seconds. It also displays appropriate messages on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    boost3_dev_enable( &boost3, BOOST3_ENABLE );
        
    log_printf( &logger, "The Click board is enabled!\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "Please use the on-board potentiometer" );
    log_printf( &logger, " to adjust the voltage output.\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    boost3_dev_enable( &boost3, BOOST3_DISABLE );
    log_printf( &logger, "The Click board is turned OFF!\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
