IR Sense 6 Click

IR Sense 6 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 functionality of the IR Sense 6 Click board, which measures ambient and object temperatures using an infrared sensor. The example initializes the device and continuously logs temperature readings.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.IRSense6

Example Key Functions

• irsense6_cfg_setup This function initializes Click configuration structure to initial values.

  void irsense6_cfg_setup ( irsense6_cfg_t *cfg );

• irsense6_init This function initializes all necessary pins and peripherals used for this Click board.

  err_t irsense6_init ( irsense6_t *ctx, irsense6_cfg_t *cfg );

• irsense6_enable_device This function enables the IR Sense 6 device by setting the EN pin high.

  void irsense6_enable_device ( irsense6_t *ctx );

• irsense6_disable_device This function disables the IR Sense 6 device by setting the EN pin low.

  void irsense6_disable_device ( irsense6_t *ctx );

• irsense6_read_data This function reads the object and ambient temperature data from the IR Sense 6 sensor.

  err_t irsense6_read_data ( irsense6_t *ctx, float *obj_temp, float *amb_temp );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and enables the device.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  
    irsense6_cfg_t irsense6_cfg;  

    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
 
    // Click initialization.
    irsense6_cfg_setup( &irsense6_cfg );
    IRSENSE6_MAP_MIKROBUS( irsense6_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == irsense6_init( &irsense6, &irsense6_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    irsense6_enable_device ( &irsense6 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Continuously reads and logs ambient and object temperatures. The readings are displayed in degrees Celsius.

void application_task ( void )
{
    float obj_temp = 0;
    float amb_temp = 0;
    if ( IRSENSE6_OK == irsense6_read_data ( &irsense6, &obj_temp, &amb_temp ) )
    {
        log_printf ( &logger, " Ambient temperature: %.1f degC\r\n", amb_temp );
        log_printf ( &logger, " Object temperature: %.1f degC\r\n\n", obj_temp );
        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.
