Click library
- Author : MikroE Team
- Date : May 2020.
- Type : SPI type
Software Support
We provide a library for the Bee 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 Bee Click driver.
Standard key functions :
- Config Object Initialization function.
void bee_cfg_setup ( bee_cfg_t *cfg );
- Initialization function.
BEE_RETVAL bee_init ( bee_t *ctx, bee_cfg_t *cfg );
Example key functions :
- Generic transfer function.
void bee_generic_transfer ( bee_t *ctx, spi_master_transfer_data_t *block );
- Write the byte of data to the short register address function
void bee_write_byte_short ( bee_t *ctx, uint8_t reg_address, uint8_t write_data );
- Read the byte of data from the short register address function
uint8_t bee_read_byte_short ( bee_t *ctx, uint8_t reg_address );
Examples Description
The click is designed to run on 3.3V power supply only.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Application Init
Initialization driver enables - SPI,
sets initialization BEE Click as a receiver, also write log.
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );
for ( cnt = 0; cnt < 2; cnt++ )
{
short_address1[ cnt ] = 1;
short_address2[ cnt ] = 2;
pan_id1[ cnt ] = 3;
pan_id2[ cnt ] = 3;
}
for ( cnt = 0; cnt < 8; cnt++ )
{
short_address1[ cnt ] = 1;
short_address2[ cnt ] = 2;
}
log_printf( &logger, " Reset and WakeUp \r\n" );
#ifdef RECEIVER
log_printf( &logger, " Set address and PAN ID \r\n" );
#endif
#ifdef TRANSMITTER
tx_data_fifo[2] = 0x01;
tx_data_fifo[3] = 0x88;
tx_data_fifo[4] = 0x23;
tx_data_fifo[5] = pan_id2[1];
tx_data_fifo[6] = pan_id2[0];
tx_data_fifo[7] = short_address2[0];
tx_data_fifo[8] = short_address2[1];
tx_data_fifo[9] = pan_id1[0];
tx_data_fifo[10] = pan_id1[1];
tx_data_fifo[11] = short_address1[0];
tx_data_fifo[12] = short_address1[1];
log_printf( &logger, " Set address and PAN ID \r\n" );
#endif
log_printf( &logger, " Init ZigBee module: \r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, " - Set nonbeacon-enabled \r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, " - Set as PAN coordinator\r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, " - Set max TX power\r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, " - All frames 3, data frame\r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, " - Set normal mode\r\n" );
log_printf( &logger, " - Device Wake Up\r\n" );
Delay_1sec( );
}
Application Task
This is an example which demonstrates the use of BEE Click board.
In this example, we use BEE Click to receive data.
{
#ifdef RECEIVER
if ( memcmp( &rx_data_fifo_old[ 0 ], &rx_data_fifo[ 0 ],
BEE_DATA_LENGHT ) )
{
log_printf( &logger, " - Received data : " );
log_printf( &logger, "%.6s \r\n", rx_data_fifo );
Delay_ms( 1500 );
}
Delay_ms( 500 );
#endif
#ifdef TRANSMITTER
log_printf( &logger, " - Sent data : " );
log_printf( &logger, "%.6s \r\n", data_tx1 );
Delay_ms( 3000 );
log_printf( &logger, " - Sent data : " );
log_printf( &logger, "%.6s \r\n", data_tx2 );
Delay_ms( 3000 );
#endif
}
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.Bee
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.
