Turbidity click

‍Turbidity Click is an adapter Click board™, used to interface a compatible turbidity sensor with the host MCU. This board features one 1x3 2.5mm connector suitable for connecting a TSD-10 Turbidity Sensor via an additional 3-wire cable for Turbidity Click specially made for this purpose. It allows users to upgrade their projects with a sensor that senses the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles invisible to the naked eye. This sensor also measures temperature as well as turbidity.

Click library

• Author : Nenad Filipovic
• Date : Nov 2021.
• Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Turbidity 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 Turbidity Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• turbidity_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void turbidity_cfg_setup ( turbidity_cfg_t *cfg );

• turbidity_init Initialization function.

  err_t turbidity_init ( turbidity_t *ctx, turbidity_cfg_t *cfg );

• turbidity_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

  err_t turbidity_default_cfg ( turbidity_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

• turbidity_get_ntu Turbidity get NTU function.

  err_t turbidity_get_ntu ( turbidity_t *ctx, float *ntu );

• turbidity_read_adc Turbidity read ADC function.

  err_t turbidity_read_adc ( turbidity_t *ctx, uint16_t *adc_val );

• turbidity_get_adc_voltage Turbidity get voltage function.

  err_t turbidity_get_adc_voltage ( turbidity_t *ctx, float *voltage );

Example Description

‍This library contains API for the Turbidity Click driver. The demo application reads ADC value, ADC voltage and Nephelometric Turbidity Units ( NTU ).

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

‍nitialization of I2C module and log UART. After driver initialization, default settings turn on the device.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  
    turbidity_cfg_t turbidity_cfg;  
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
 
    // Click initialization.
    turbidity_cfg_setup( &turbidity_cfg );
    TURBIDITY_MAP_MIKROBUS( turbidity_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == turbidity_init( &turbidity, &turbidity_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( TURBIDITY_ERROR == turbidity_default_cfg ( &turbidity ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
    log_printf( &logger, "----------------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
}

Application Task

‍This example demonstrates the use of the Turbidity Click board™. In this example, we monitor and display Nephelometric Turbidity Units ( NTU ). Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal, where you can track their changes.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    static float ntu;
    
    turbidity_get_ntu( &turbidity, &ntu );
    log_printf( &logger, "\tNTU : %.2f\r\n", ntu );
    log_printf( &logger, "----------------------------\r\n" );
    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.Turbidity

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.
