DC Motor 16 Click

DC Motor 16 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 Library

  • Author : Stefan Ilic
  • Date : Aug 2021.
  • Type : SPI type

Software Support

Example Description

This example shows the capabilities of the DC Motor 16 Click board.

Example Libraries

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.DCMotor16

Example Key Functions

  • dcmotor16_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.
void dcmotor16_cfg_setup ( dcmotor16_cfg_t *cfg );
  • dcmotor16_init Initialization function.
err_t dcmotor16_init ( dcmotor16_t *ctx, dcmotor16_cfg_t *cfg );
  • dcmotor16_set_direction Set motor direction.
void dcmotor16_set_direction( dcmotor16_t *ctx, uint8_t dir );
  • dcmotor16_ctrl_vref Control motor VRef (speed).
void dcmotor16_ctrl_vref( dcmotor16_t *ctx, uint16_t value );
  • dcmotor16_stop Motor stop.
void dcmotor16_stop( dcmotor16_t *ctx );

Application Init

Initialization driver init.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    dcmotor16_cfg_t dcmotor16_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.

    dcmotor16_cfg_setup( &dcmotor16_cfg );
    DCMOTOR16_MAP_MIKROBUS( dcmotor16_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    err_t init_flag  = dcmotor16_init( &dcmotor16, &dcmotor16_cfg );
    if ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) {
        log_error( &logger, " Application Init Error. " );
        log_info( &logger, " Please, run program again... " );

        for ( ; ; );
    }
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Start motor example with change in motor direction and speed.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    uint16_t cnt;
    
    log_printf( &logger, ">> Motor start with direction [FORWARD] <<\r\n" );
    dcmotor16_set_direction( &dcmotor16, DCMOTOR16_DIR_FORWARD );
    for( cnt = 0; cnt <= 0x0100; cnt+= 25 ) {
        dcmotor16_ctrl_vref( &dcmotor16, cnt );
        Delay_ms ( 250 );
    }
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    log_printf( &logger, ">> Motor stop \r\n" );
    dcmotor16_stop( &dcmotor16 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    log_printf( &logger, ">> Motor start with direction [BACKWARD] <<\r\n" );
    dcmotor16_set_direction( &dcmotor16, DCMOTOR16_DIR_BACKWARD );
    for( cnt = 0; cnt <= 0x0100; cnt+= 25 ) {
        dcmotor16_ctrl_vref( &dcmotor16, cnt );
        Delay_ms ( 250 );
    }
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    log_printf( &logger, ">> Motor stop \r\n" );
    dcmotor16_stop( &dcmotor16 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

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.
