CDC Click

CDC 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 : Stefan Filipovic
• Date : Oct 2023.
• Type : I2C/SPI type

Software Support

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of CDC Click board by reading capacitance measurements from C3/C2 and C5/C4 ports calculated from pure capacitance ratio between those ports and port C1/C0 which is used as external C reference.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.CDC

Example Key Functions

• cdc_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void cdc_cfg_setup ( cdc_cfg_t *cfg );

• cdc_init Initialization function.

err_t cdc_init ( cdc_t *ctx, cdc_cfg_t *cfg );

• cdc_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

err_t cdc_default_cfg ( cdc_t *ctx );

• cdc_write_config This function writes configuration data starting from the selected config address.

err_t cdc_write_config ( cdc_t *ctx, uint8_t address, const uint8_t *data_in, uint8_t len );

• cdc_send_opcode This function sends a desired opcode command byte.

err_t cdc_send_opcode ( cdc_t *ctx, uint8_t opcode );

• cdc_read_results This function reads all results and status registers.

err_t cdc_read_results ( cdc_t *ctx, cdc_results_t *results );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    cdc_cfg_t cdc_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.
    cdc_cfg_setup( &cdc_cfg );
    CDC_MAP_MIKROBUS( cdc_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    err_t init_flag = cdc_init( &cdc, &cdc_cfg );
    if ( ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) || ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( CDC_ERROR == cdc_default_cfg ( &cdc ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

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

Application Task

Starts measurement and reads the results. The results data is displayed on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    cdc_results_t results;
    cdc_send_opcode ( &cdc, CDC_OPCODE_CDC_START );
    Delay_ms ( 200 );
    if ( CDC_OK == cdc_read_results ( &cdc, &results ) )
    {
        log_printf ( &logger, " C1/C0: %.1f pF\r\n", 
                     results.res_0 * CDC_REF - CDC_INT_CAP_PF );
        log_printf ( &logger, " C3/C2: %.1f pF\r\n", 
                     results.res_1 * CDC_REF - CDC_INT_CAP_PF );
        log_printf ( &logger, " C5/C4: %.1f pF\r\n\n", 
                     results.res_2 * CDC_REF - CDC_INT_CAP_PF );
        Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    }
}

Note

For better accuracy and higher measurement range, add 200pF external capacitor between C1/C0 ports and set it below as CDC_EXT_CAP_C1_C0_PF macro before running the application. This way you will be able to measure capacitance in range from 1 to 2000pF.

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.
