Pixi click

PIXI™ click is equipped with MAX11300 IC from Maxim Integrated, which features Maxim Integrated's versatile, proprietary PIXI™ technology - it is the industry's first configurable 20-channel mixed-signal data converter. Besides the 12bit multichannel SAR ADC and buffered DAC, it also features one internal and two external temperature sensors for tracking the junction and the environmental temperatures.

Click library

• Author : MikroE Team
• Date : May 2020.
• Type : SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Pixi 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 Pixi Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• Config Object Initialization function.

  ‍void pixi_cfg_setup ( pixi_cfg_t *cfg );

  - Initialization function.

  ‍PIXI_RETVAL pixi_init ( pixi_t *ctx, pixi_cfg_t *cfg );

• Click Default Configuration function.

  ‍void pixi_default_cfg ( pixi_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

• This function writes data to the click module.

  ‍uint8_t pixi_write_reg ( pixi_t *ctx, const uint8_t reg_addr, uint32_t reg_data );

  - This function reads data from the click module.

  ‍uint8_t pixi_read_reg ( pixi_t *ctx, const uint8_t reg_addr, uint32_t *reg_data );

  Examples Description

‍This example showcases how to initialize, configure and use the Pixi click moduel. The click features Maxim Integrated's versatile, proprietary PIXI™ technology - the industry's first configurable 20-channel mixed-signal data converter.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

‍This function initializes and configures the click and logger modules. After the initial setup a device id check is performed which will stop the module if the check fails. Additional con- figurating is done in the default_cfg(...) function.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    pixi_cfg_t cfg;
    uint32_t res;
 
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );
    Delay_100ms( );
 
    //  Click initialization.
 
    pixi_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    PIXI_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    pixi_init( &pixi, &cfg );
 
    //  Device ID check.
 
    pixi_read_reg( &pixi, PIXI_REG_DEVICE_ID, &res );
    if ( res != 1060 )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, "ERROR : WRONG DEVICE ID!\r\n" );
        for( ; ; );
    }
    else
    {
        log_printf( &logger, "Driver Init - DONE!\r\n" );
    }
 
    //  Default configuration.
 
    pixi_default_cfg( &pixi );
}

Application Task

‍This function sets the output signal on port 0 to different values every second.

void application_task ( void )
{
    pixi_write_reg( &pixi, PIXI_REG_GPO_DATA, 1 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    pixi_write_reg( &pixi, PIXI_REG_GPO_DATA, 0 );
    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.Pixi

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.
