IR 2 click

‍IR 2 Click is a compact add-on board representing a compact and easy solution for adding infrared (IR) remote control to your design. This board features the TSMP58138, a miniaturized sensor for receiving the modulated signal of QEE113 IR emitting diode from Vishay Semiconductors. This IR sensor module consists of a photodetector, pre-amplifier, and automatic gain control to surpass ambient noise with signals transmitted to it in the near-infrared range with a wavelength of 940nm. It also communicates with the target MCU via selectable GPIO lines.

Click library

• Author : Stefan Filipovic
• Date : Jan 2022.
• Type : PWM type

Software Support

We provide a library for the IR 2 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 IR 2 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• ir2_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void ir2_cfg_setup ( ir2_cfg_t *cfg );

• ir2_init Initialization function.

  err_t ir2_init ( ir2_t *ctx, ir2_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

• ir2_get_out_pin This function returns the OUT pin logic state.

  uint8_t ir2_get_out_pin ( ir2_t *ctx );

• ir2_nec_send_data This function sends an address and data bytes using NEC protocol.

  void ir2_nec_send_data ( ir2_t *ctx, uint8_t address, uint8_t data_in );

• ir2_nec_read_data This function reads an address and data bytes by using NEC protocol.

  err_t ir2_nec_read_data ( ir2_t *ctx, uint8_t *address, uint8_t *data_out );

Example Description

‍This example demonstrates the use of an IR 2 click board by showing

the communication between the two click boards configured as a receiver and transmitter using the NEC protocol.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

‍Initializes the driver and logger and displays the selected application mode.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  
    ir2_cfg_t ir2_cfg;  
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
 
    // Click initialization.
    ir2_cfg_setup( &ir2_cfg );
    IR2_MAP_MIKROBUS( ir2_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( PWM_ERROR == ir2_init( &ir2, &ir2_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - \r\n" );
#ifdef IR2_TRANSMITTER_MODE
    log_printf( &logger, "-  Transmitter mode   - \r\n" );
#else
    log_printf( &logger, "-    Receiver mode    - \r\n" );
#endif
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - \r\n" );
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

‍Depending on the selected mode, it sends a desired message using NEC protocol or

reads all the received data and displays them on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
#ifdef IR2_TRANSMITTER_MODE
    log_printf( &logger, " Sending message." );
    
    for ( uint8_t cnt = 0; cnt < sizeof ( IR2_DATA ); cnt++ )
    {
        ir2_nec_send_data ( &ir2, IR2_ADDRESS, IR2_DATA[ cnt ] );
        log_printf( &logger, "." );
    }
    
    log_printf( &logger, "\r\n Message has been sent! \r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - \r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 500 );
#else
    uint8_t address;
    uint8_t rx_data;
    
    if ( IR2_OK == ir2_nec_read_data ( &ir2, &address, &rx_data ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, "Address: 0x%.2X, Data: %c\r\n", ( uint16_t ) address, rx_data );
    }
#endif
}

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.IR2

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.
