Buck 8 Click

Buck 8 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.

Example Description

Demo application shows basic usage of BUCK 8 Clicks.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Buck8

Example Key Functions

• buck8_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void buck8_cfg_setup ( buck8_cfg_t *cfg );

• buck8_init Initialization function.

err_t buck8_init ( buck8_t *ctx, buck8_cfg_t *cfg );

• buck8_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

void buck8_default_cfg ( buck8_t *ctx );

• buck8_get_state Get state of pin.

uint8_t buck8_get_state( buck8_t *ctx );

• buck8_set_power_mode Function settings mode .

void buck8_set_power_mode( buck8_t *ctx, uint8_t mode );

Application Init

Configures the driver and enables the Click board.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    buck8_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.

    buck8_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    BUCK8_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    buck8_init( &buck8, &cfg );

    buck8_default_cfg( &buck8 );
}

Application Task

Reads the VOUT state and parses it on USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    uint8_t pg_state;
    
    pg_state = buck8_get_state( &buck8 );
    
    if ( pg_state == 1 )
    {
        log_info( &logger, "VOUT is below 92.2%% of VIN" );
    }
    else
    {
        log_info( &logger, "VOUT is above 92.2%% of VIN" );
    }
    
    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.
