Ambient 22 Click

Ambient 22 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.

• Type : I2C type

Software Support

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Ambient 22 Click board by measuring the ambient light level in lux.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Ambient22

Example Key Functions

• ambient22_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void ambient22_cfg_setup ( ambient22_cfg_t *cfg );

• ambient22_init Initialization function.

  err_t ambient22_init ( ambient22_t *ctx, ambient22_cfg_t *cfg );

• ambient22_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

  err_t ambient22_default_cfg ( ambient22_t *ctx );

• ambient22_get_int_pin This function returns the INT pin logic state.

  uint8_t ambient22_get_int_pin ( ambient22_t *ctx );

• ambient22_read_lux This function checks for a conversion ready flag bit and then reads the ambient light level in lux.

  err_t ambient22_read_lux ( ambient22_t *ctx, float *lux );

• ambient22_write_register This function writes a desired data to the selected register by using I2C serial interface.

  err_t ambient22_write_register ( ambient22_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint16_t data_in );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  
    ambient22_cfg_t ambient22_cfg;  

    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
 
    // Click initialization.
    ambient22_cfg_setup( &ambient22_cfg );
    AMBIENT22_MAP_MIKROBUS( ambient22_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == ambient22_init( &ambient22, &ambient22_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( AMBIENT22_ERROR == ambient22_default_cfg ( &ambient22 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Waits for the data ready interrupt, then reads the ambient light level in lux and displays the results on the USB UART. By default, the data ready interrupt triggers every 800ms.

void application_task ( void )
{
    float lux;
    // Wait for a data ready interrupt
    while ( ambient22_get_int_pin ( &ambient22 ) );
    
    if ( AMBIENT22_OK == ambient22_read_lux ( &ambient22, &lux ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Ambient light: %.2f lux\r\n\n", lux );
    }
}

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.
