RF Meter Click

RF Meter 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.

Example Description

Demo app measures and displays signal strenght by using RF Meter Click board.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Rfmeter

Example Key Functions

• rfmeter_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void rfmeter_cfg_setup ( rfmeter_cfg_t *cfg );

• rfmeter_init Initialization function.

err_t rfmeter_init ( rfmeter_t *ctx, rfmeter_cfg_t *cfg );

• rfmeter_get_signal_strenght Function is used to calculate radio frequency signal strenght in a vicinity.

float rfmeter_get_signal_strenght ( rfmeter_t *ctx, float slope, float intercept );

Application Init

Initalizes SPI, LOG and Click drivers.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    rfmeter_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_printf( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );

    //  Click initialization.

    rfmeter_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    RFMETER_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    rfmeter_init( &rfmeter, &cfg );
    log_printf( &logger, "----------------------- \r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "    RF Meter Click      \r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "----------------------- \r\n" );
}

Application Task

This is an example that shows the capabilities of the RF Meter Click by measuring radio frequency signal strenght.

void application_task ( void )
{
    signal = rfmeter_get_signal_strenght( &rfmeter, RFMETER_DEF_SLOPE, RFMETER_DEF_INTERCEPT );
    
    log_printf( &logger, "Signal strenght: %.2f dBm \r\n", signal );
    
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    log_printf( &logger, "-----------------------\r\n" );
}

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.
