Air Flow Click

Air Flow 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.

• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.AirFlow

Example Key Functions

• airflow_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void airflow_cfg_setup ( airflow_cfg_t *cfg );

• airflow_init Initialization function.

err_t airflow_init ( airflow_t *ctx, airflow_cfg_t *cfg );

• airflow_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

err_t airflow_default_cfg ( airflow_t *ctx );

void airflow_reset_device ( airflow_t *ctx )

• airflow_get_differential_pressure Reads differential pressure.

err_t airflow_get_differential_pressure ( airflow_t *ctx, float *pressure )

• airflow_get_atmospheric_pressure Reads atmospheric pressure and temperature.

err_t airflow_get_atmospheric_pressure ( airflow_t *ctx, float *pressure, float *temperature );

Application Init

Initialize host communication modules (UART, I2C/SPI). Read electric signature data from device and logs it to terminal.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    airflow_cfg_t airflow_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.

Application Task

Reads differential pressure in Pa, atmospheric pressure in mBar and ambient temperature in C every 500ms and logs read data.

void application_task ( void ) 
{    
    float pressure_data, temperature_data;
    
    airflow_get_differential_pressure( &airflow, &pressure_data );
    log_printf( &logger, "Differential pressure[Pa]: %.2f\r\n", pressure_data );
    airflow_get_atmospheric_pressure( &airflow, &pressure_data, &temperature_data );
    log_printf( &logger, "Atmospheric pressure[mBar]: %.2f\r\nTemperature[degC]: %.2f\r\n", pressure_data, temperature_data );
    log_printf( &logger, "***********************************************************\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 500 );
}

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.
