Boost 5 Click

Boost 5 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.

• Type : ADC type

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of the Boost 5 Click board by enabling the device and continuously reading and logging the measured output voltage (VOUT). If a failure is detected during voltage reading, the device is reset.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Boost5

Example Key Functions

• boost5_cfg_setup This function initializes Click configuration structure to initial values.

void boost5_cfg_setup ( boost5_cfg_t *cfg );

• boost5_init This function initializes all necessary pins and peripherals used for this Click board.

err_t boost5_init ( boost5_t *ctx, boost5_cfg_t *cfg );

• boost5_enable_device This function enables device by setting the EN pin to high logic state.

void boost5_enable_device ( boost5_t *ctx );

• boost5_reset_device This function resets device by toggling the EN pin logic state.

void boost5_reset_device ( boost5_t *ctx );

• boost5_read_vout This function reads the boost output voltage level.

err_t boost5_read_vout ( boost5_t *ctx, float *vout );

Application Init

Initializes the logger and the Boost 5 Click board. Configures the ADC for voltage measurements and enables the device to prepare it for operation.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    boost5_cfg_t boost5_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * 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.
    boost5_cfg_setup( &boost5_cfg );
    BOOST5_MAP_MIKROBUS( boost5_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( ADC_ERROR == boost5_init( &boost5, &boost5_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_printf( &logger, "\r\n Enable device\r\n\n" );
    boost5_enable_device ( &boost5 );
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Reads the output voltage level and logs it on the USB UART. In case of an error during the reading process, or the user changes VOUT using an on-board VOUT SEL switch, the device is reset to recover from potential issues or to apply new settings.

void application_task ( void )
{
    float vout = 0;
    if ( BOOST5_OK == boost5_read_vout ( &boost5, &vout ) ) 
    {
        log_printf( &logger, "\r\n VOUT : %.3f V\r\n", vout );
    }
    else
    {
        log_printf( &logger, "\r\n Reset device\r\n" );
        boost5_reset_device ( &boost5 );
    }
}

Note

The VOUT is configured using an on-board VOUT SEL 4-position switch.

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.
