Ambient 6 Click

Ambient 6 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

• Click.Ambient6

Example Key Functions

• ambient6_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void ambient6_cfg_setup ( ambient6_cfg_t *cfg );

• ambient6_init Initialization function.

err_t ambient6_init ( ambient6_t *ctx, ambient6_cfg_t *cfg );

• ambient6_get_ambient_data Functions for read 16bit Ambient Data (ALS).

uint16_t ambient6_get_ambient_data( ambient6_t *ctx );

• ambient6_configuration Functions for configuration device for measurement.

void ambient6_configuration (  ambient6_t *ctx, uint16_t config_data );

• ambient6_get_ambient_light Functions for get Ambient Light Data.

float ambient6_get_ambient_light( ambient6_t *ctx );

Application Init

Initialization driver init and default configuration device for measurement

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    ambient6_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );

    //  Click initialization.

    ambient6_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    AMBIENT6_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    ambient6_init( &ambient6, &cfg );
    ambient6_default_cfg( &ambient6 );    
}

Application Task

Read Ambient Light in lux[lx] and this data logs to USBUART every 1sec.

void application_task ( )
{
    float ambient_light;
    
    ambient_light = ambient6_get_ambient_light( &ambient6 );
    log_printf( &logger, "Ambient Light: %f lx \r\n", ambient_light );
    Delay_1sec( );
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
