Click library

• Author : Mihajlo Djordjevic
• Date : Dec 2019.
• Type : I2C/SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the MpuImu 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 form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

‍This library contains API for MpuImu Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• Config Object Initialization function.

  ‍void mpuimu_cfg_setup ( mpuimu_cfg_t *cfg );

  - Initialization function.

  ‍MPUIMU_RETVAL mpuimu_init ( mpuimu_t *ctx, mpuimu_cfg_t *cfg );

• Click Default Configuration function.

  ‍void mpuimu_default_cfg ( mpuimu_t *ctx );

  Example key functions :

• This function read Accel X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis.

  ‍void mpuimu_read_accel ( mpuimu_t *ctx, mpuimu_accel_data_t *accel_data );

  - This function read Gyro X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis.

  ‍void mpuimu_read_gyro ( mpuimu_t *ctx, mpuimu_gyro_data_t *gyro_data );

• This function reads temperature data.

  ‍float mpuimu_read_temperature ( mpuimu_t *ctx );

  Examples Description

‍ Example code performs acceleration, angular rate (gyroscopic), and temperature measurement.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

‍ Application Init performs Logger and Click initialization.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    mpuimu_cfg_t cfg;
 
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
 
    //  Click initialization.
 
    mpuimu_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    MPUIMU_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    mpuimu_init( &mpuimu, &cfg );
    
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, " ----  MPU IMU Click ----\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    mpuimu_default_cfg ( &mpuimu );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    log_printf( &logger, " ---- Initialization ---\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

Application Task

‍ Measured Accel and Gyro coordinates (X,Y,Z) and Temperature in degrees C which are being sent to the UART where you can track their changes. All data logs on USB UART for every 1 sec.

void application_task ( void )
{
    mpuimu_read_accel( &mpuimu, &accel_data );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
    mpuimu_read_gyro( &mpuimu, &gyro_data );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
    temperature = mpuimu_read_temperature( &mpuimu );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
    
    log_printf( &logger, "    Accel    |    Gyro    \r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, " X = %d  | X = %d \r\n", accel_data.accel_x, gyro_data.gyro_x );
    log_printf( &logger, " Y = %d  | Y = %d \r\n", accel_data.accel_y, gyro_data.gyro_y );
    log_printf( &logger, " Z = %d  | Z = %d \r\n", accel_data.accel_z, gyro_data.gyro_z );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------\r\n" );
    log_printf( &logger, "      TEMP = %0.2f C\r\n", temperature );
    log_printf( &logger, "--------------------------\r\n" ); 
    
    software_reset ( &mpuimu );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}  

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.MpuImu

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. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
