Color 6 Click

Color 6 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 : Nov 2019.
• Type : I2C type

Software Support

Example Description

Reads values from the X / Y / Z channel and converts to ee (input light irradiance regarding to the photodiode�s area within the conversion time interval) data.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Color6

Example Key Functions

• color6_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void color6_cfg_setup ( color6_cfg_t *cfg );

• color6_init Initialization function.

err_t color6_init ( color6_t *ctx, color6_cfg_t *cfg );

• color6_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

void color6_default_cfg ( color6_t *ctx );

• color6_write_byte This function write one byte in register.

void color6_write_byte ( color6_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t r_data );

• color6_read_byte This function reads one byte data from register.

uint8_t color6_read_byte ( color6_t *ctx, uint8_t reg );

• color6_get_temperature The measurement result is available as TEMP of the output result registers.

float color6_get_temperature ( color6_t *ctx );

Application Init

Initializes driver init and configuration chip for measurement.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    color6_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.

    color6_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    COLOR6_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    color6_init( &color6, &cfg );

    color6_software_reset( &color6 );
    color6_default_cfg ( &color6 );
    color6_go_to_measurement_mode( &color6 );
}

  

Application Task

Reads values from the X / Y / Z channel and converts to ee (input light irradiance regarding to the photodiode�s area within the conversion time interval) data. This data logs on USB UART every 2 seconds.

void application_task ( void )
{
    x_data = color6_read_data( &color6, COLOR6_MREG_MEASUREMENT_X_CHANNEL );
    log_printf( &logger, " Channel X :  %d ", x_data );

    ee_data = color6_converting_to_ee( COLOR6_MREG_MEASUREMENT_X_CHANNEL, x_data);
    log_printf( &logger, " Ee X channel data:   %f ", ee_data );

    y_data = color6_read_data( &color6, COLOR6_MREG_MEASUREMENT_Y_CHANNEL );
    log_printf( &logger, " Channel Y :  %d ", y_data );

    ee_data = color6_converting_to_ee( COLOR6_MREG_MEASUREMENT_Y_CHANNEL, y_data);
    log_printf( &logger, " Ee Y channel data:   %f ", ee_data );

    z_data = color6_read_data( &color6, COLOR6_MREG_MEASUREMENT_Z_CHANNEL );
    log_printf( &logger, " Channel Z :  %d ", z_data );

    ee_data = color6_converting_to_ee( COLOR6_MREG_MEASUREMENT_Z_CHANNEL, z_data);
    log_printf( &logger, " Ee Z channel data:   %f ", ee_data );

    temperature = color6_getTemperature( &color6 );
    log_printf( &logger, " Temperature :  %f ", temperature );

    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.
