Click library

• Author : Stefan Ilic
• Date : Oct 2023.
• Type : UART type

Software Support

We provide a library for the EZO Carrier pH Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

‍This library contains API for EZO Carrier pH Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• ezocarrierph_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void ezocarrierph_cfg_setup ( ezocarrierph_cfg_t *cfg );

• ezocarrierph_init Initialization function.

  err_t ezocarrierph_init ( ezocarrierph_t *ctx, ezocarrierph_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

• ezocarrierph_send_cmd Send command function.

  void ezocarrierph_send_cmd ( ezocarrierph_t *ctx, uint8_t *cmd );

• ezocarrierph_send_cmd_with_par Send command function with parameter.

  void ezocarrierph_send_cmd_with_par ( ezocarrierph_t *ctx, uint8_t *cmd, uint8_t *param_buf );

• ezocarrierph_send_cmd_check Check the sent command.

  void ezocarrierph_send_cmd_check ( ezocarrierph_t *ctx, uint8_t *cmd );

Example Description

‍This example demonstrates the use of EZO Carrier pH click board by processing the incoming data and displaying them on the USB UART.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

‍Initializes the driver, performs the click default factory reset, and mid point calibration.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  
    ezocarrierph_cfg_t ezocarrierph_cfg;  
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
 
    // Click initialization.
    ezocarrierph_cfg_setup( &ezocarrierph_cfg );
    EZOCARRIERPH_MAP_MIKROBUS( ezocarrierph_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( UART_ERROR == ezocarrierph_init( &ezocarrierph, &ezocarrierph_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    ezocarrierph_error_check( error_flag );
 
    uint8_t n_cnt = 0;
    uint8_t last_reading[ APP_BUFFER_SIZE ] = { 0 };
    ezocarrierph_clear_app_buf( );
    ezocarrierph_send_cmd( &ezocarrierph, EZOCARRIERPH_CMD_SINGLE_READ );
    ezocarrierph_process ( &ezocarrierph );
    strcpy( last_reading, app_buf );

    Delay_ms ( 1000 );

    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    log_printf( &logger, "Starting calibration \r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "Waiting for stable readings \r\n" );
    while ( n_cnt <= 5 )
    {
        if ( EZOCARRIERPH_OK == ezocarrierph_process ( &ezocarrierph ) )
        {  
            if ( 0 == strstr( app_buf, last_reading ) )
            {

        }
        log_printf( &logger, "- " );
        Delay_ms ( 1000 );

    }
    
    #define MID_POINT_CALIB         "mid,7.00"
    log_printf( &logger, "\r\n Calibration \r\n" );
    ezocarrierph_send_cmd_with_par( &ezocarrierph, EZOCARRIERPH_CMD_CAL, MID_POINT_CALIB );

    ezocarrierph_error_check( error_flag );
 
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

‍Reads and processes all incoming pH value data and displays them on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    log_printf( &logger, "Reading... \r\n" );
    ezocarrierph_send_cmd( &ezocarrierph, EZOCARRIERPH_CMD_SINGLE_READ );
    error_flag = ezocarrierph_rsp_check( &ezocarrierph, EZOCARRIERPH_RSP_OK );
    ezocarrierph_error_check( error_flag );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.EZOCarrierpH

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
