Thunder EMU Click

Thunder EMU 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.


Click Library

  • Author : Stefan Filipovic
  • Date : Sep 2023.
  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Thunder EMU Click board by generating CLOSE, MID, or FAR range thunder signal depending on the Click push-buttons state.

Example Libraries

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.ThunderEMU

Example Key Functions

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
thunderemu_cfg_t thunderemu_cfg;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
thunderemu_cfg_setup( &thunderemu_cfg );
THUNDEREMU_MAP_MIKROBUS( thunderemu_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == thunderemu_init( &thunderemu, &thunderemu_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
if ( THUNDEREMU_ERROR == thunderemu_default_cfg ( &thunderemu ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
for ( ; ; );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Checks if any of the Click board buttons are pressed and then generates a thunder signal related to the pressed button and displays an appropriate message on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
if ( !thunderemu_get_close_pin ( &thunderemu ) )
{
{
log_printf( &logger, " Close range thunder signal generated!\r\n\n" );
Delay_ms ( 500 );
}
}
else if ( !thunderemu_get_mid_pin ( &thunderemu ) )
{
{
log_printf( &logger, " Mid range thunder signal generated!\r\n\n" );
Delay_ms ( 500 );
}
}
else if ( !thunderemu_get_far_pin ( &thunderemu ) )
{
{
log_printf( &logger, " Far range thunder signal generated!\r\n\n" );
Delay_ms ( 500 );
}
}
}

Note

Thunder EMU Click should be used in combination with a Thunder Click which detects a lightning presence. The emulator is calibrated for ranges of up to 15cm from the sensor board. It's recommended to distant both Click boards from their development boards using a Shuttle Click to reduce the board noise that can affect the sensor and emulator performance.

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.
