Piezo Accel Click

Piezo Accel 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 demonstrates the performance of Piezo Accel Click board.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.PiezoAccel

Example Key Functions

• piezoaccel_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void piezoaccel_cfg_setup ( piezoaccel_cfg_t *cfg );

• piezoaccel_init Initialization function.

err_t piezoaccel_init ( piezoaccel_t *ctx, piezoaccel_cfg_t *cfg );

• piezoaccel_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

void piezoaccel_default_cfg ( piezoaccel_t *ctx );

• piezoaccel_adc_raw_read Piezo Accel read raw adc function.

uint16_t piezoaccel_adc_raw_read ( piezoaccel_t *ctx );

• piezoaccel_adc_voltage_read Piezo Accel read adc converted to voltage function.

float piezoaccel_adc_voltage_read ( piezoaccel_t *ctx );

• piezoaccel_g_unit_read Piezo Accel read force of acceleration function.

float piezoaccel_g_unit_read ( piezoaccel_t *ctx, piezoaccel_setup_t *cfg_data );

Application Init

The initialization of UART LOG and SPI Click drivers. Additionally, a default config is performed for "out of the box" Piezo Accel Click settings. Calibration is optional and is used to correct the power supply offset of the sensor.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;                  /**< Logger config object. */
    piezoaccel_cfg_t piezoaccel_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.

    piezoaccel_cfg_setup( &piezoaccel_cfg );
    PIEZOACCEL_MAP_MIKROBUS( piezoaccel_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    err_t init_flag = piezoaccel_init( &piezoaccel, &piezoaccel_cfg );
    if ( init_flag == SPI_MASTER_ERROR ) {
        log_error( &logger, " Application Init Error. " );
        log_info( &logger, " Please, run program again... " );

        for ( ; ; );
    }

    piezoaccel_default_cfg( &piezoaccel, &setup_cfg_data );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
    Delay_ms ( 200 );
}

Application Task

The ADC is constantly read and converted to a g-force acceleration unit. Data is sent via LOG every 20 ms and works on MikroPlot for graphical representation of the sensor results.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    float read_val;
    
    read_val = piezoaccel_g_unit_read( &piezoaccel, &setup_cfg_data );
    log_printf( &logger, "%.2f,%.2f\r\n", read_val, time_var );
    time_var += time_incr;
    Delay_ms ( time_incr );
}

Note

This demo app is intended to be used with MikroPlot data visualization tool for clear understanding of the results. https://www.mikroe.com/mikroplot-data-visualization-tool

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.
