Balancer 2 Click

Balancer 2 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

This application enable the batery charge.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Balancer2

Example Key Functions

• balancer2_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void balancer2_cfg_setup ( balancer2_cfg_t *cfg );

• balancer2_init Initialization function.

err_t balancer2_init ( balancer2_t *ctx, balancer2_cfg_t *cfg );

• balancer2_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

void balancer2_default_cfg ( balancer2_t *ctx );

• balancer2_get_batttery_lvl Function for getting real battery lvl.

float balancer2_get_batttery_lvl ( balancer2_t *ctx, uint8_t bat_num );

• balancer2_adc_to_mv Function for converting adc value to mV.

float balancer2_adc_to_mv ( balancer2_t *ctx, uint16_t adc_val );

• balancer2_read_adc Function for reading adc value.

uint16_t balancer2_read_adc ( balancer2_t *ctx, uint8_t cmd_byte );

Application Init

Sets reference volatage of device, sets pins for supply and cells to high.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    balancer2_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.

    balancer2_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    BALANCER2_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    balancer2_init( &balancer2, &cfg );

    Delay_ms ( 100 );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "  Balancer 2 Click  \r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
    balancer2_default_cfg ( &balancer2 );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
}

Application Task

Every 2 seconds logs readings of battery mV lvl

void application_task ( void )
{
    float battery;

    battery = balancer2_get_batttery_lvl( &balancer2, BALANCER2_BATT1 );
    log_printf( &logger, "Battery 1 : %f mV\r\n", battery );

    battery = balancer2_get_batttery_lvl( &balancer2, BALANCER2_BATT2 );
    log_printf( &logger, "Battery 2 : %f mV\r\n", battery );

    battery = balancer2_get_batttery_lvl( &balancer2, BALANCER2_BATT_BOTH );
    log_printf( &logger, "Batteries : %f mV\r\n", battery );

    log_printf( &logger, "__________________________________________\r\n" );

    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.
