Brushless 23 Click

Brushless 23 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 example demonstrates the use of the Brushless 23 Click board by driving the motor in both directions at different speeds.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Brushless23

Example Key Functions

• brushless23_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void brushless23_cfg_setup ( brushless23_cfg_t *cfg );

• brushless23_init Initialization function.

  err_t brushless23_init ( brushless23_t *ctx, brushless23_cfg_t *cfg );

• brushless23_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

  err_t brushless23_default_cfg ( brushless23_t *ctx );

• brushless23_pwm_set_duty_cycle This function sets the PWM duty cycle in percentages ( Range[ 0..1 ] ).

  err_t brushless23_pwm_set_duty_cycle ( brushless23_t *ctx, float duty_cycle );

• brushless23_switch_direction This function switches the direction by toggling the DIR pin state.

  void brushless23_switch_direction ( brushless23_t *ctx );

• brushless23_get_motor_speed This function reads the motor speed in Hz.

  err_t brushless23_get_motor_speed ( brushless23_t *ctx, float *motor_speed_hz );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  
    brushless23_cfg_t brushless23_cfg;  

    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
 
    // Click initialization.
    brushless23_cfg_setup( &brushless23_cfg );
    BRUSHLESS23_MAP_MIKROBUS( brushless23_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == brushless23_init( &brushless23, &brushless23_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( BRUSHLESS23_ERROR == brushless23_default_cfg ( &brushless23 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Controls the motor speed by changing the PWM duty cycle every 2 seconds. The duty cycle ranges from 20% to 80%. At the minimal speed, the motor switches direction. Each step will be logged on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.

void application_task ( void )
{
    static int8_t duty_cnt = 2;
    static int8_t duty_inc = 1;
    float duty = duty_cnt / 10.0;
    brushless23_pwm_set_duty_cycle ( &brushless23, duty );
    log_printf( &logger, "\r\n Duty cycle: %u%%\r\n", ( uint16_t )( duty_cnt * 10 ) );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 500 );
    float motor_speed_hz = 0;
    if ( BRUSHLESS23_OK == brushless23_get_motor_speed ( &brushless23, &motor_speed_hz ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Speed: %.1f Hz\r\n", motor_speed_hz );
    }
    duty_cnt += duty_inc;
    if ( duty_cnt > 8 ) 
    {
        duty_cnt = 7;
        duty_inc = -1;
    }
    else if ( duty_cnt < 2 ) 
    {
        duty_cnt = 2;
        duty_inc = 1;
        log_printf( &logger, "\r\n Switch direction\r\n" );
        brushless23_pwm_set_duty_cycle ( &brushless23, BRUSHLESS23_DUTY_CYCLE_MIN_PCT );
        Delay_ms ( 500 );
        brushless23_switch_direction ( &brushless23 );
    }
    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.
