LightRanger 9 Click

LightRanger 9 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

This example demonstrates the use of LightRanger 9 Click board by reading and displaying all four sub-captures data measurements on the USB UART.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.LightRanger9

Example Key Functions

• lightranger9_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void lightranger9_cfg_setup ( lightranger9_cfg_t *cfg );

• lightranger9_init Initialization function.

err_t lightranger9_init ( lightranger9_t *ctx, lightranger9_cfg_t *cfg );

• lightranger9_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

err_t lightranger9_default_cfg ( lightranger9_t *ctx );

• lightranger9_get_int_pin This function returns the INT pin logic state.

uint8_t lightranger9_get_int_pin ( lightranger9_t *ctx );

• lightranger9_clear_interrupts This function reads and clears the interrupt status register.

err_t lightranger9_clear_interrupts ( lightranger9_t *ctx );

• lightranger9_get_capture This function reads and parses a single sub-capture block of 132 bytes.

err_t lightranger9_get_capture ( lightranger9_t *ctx, lightranger9_capture_t *capture );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    lightranger9_cfg_t lightranger9_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.
    lightranger9_cfg_setup( &lightranger9_cfg );
    LIGHTRANGER9_MAP_MIKROBUS( lightranger9_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == lightranger9_init( &lightranger9, &lightranger9_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( LIGHTRANGER9_ERROR == lightranger9_default_cfg ( &lightranger9 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Reads all four sub-captures data approximately every 500ms and logs them to the USB UART in a form of two object 8x8 maps. Other data such as DIE temperature, ambient light, system tick, etc., are also being displayed.

void application_task ( void )
{
    while ( lightranger9_get_int_pin ( &lightranger9 ) );

    lightranger9_capture_t capture;
    if ( ( LIGHTRANGER9_OK == lightranger9_clear_interrupts ( &lightranger9 ) ) && 
         ( LIGHTRANGER9_OK == lightranger9_get_capture ( &lightranger9, &capture ) ) )
    {
        lightranger9_log_results ( capture );
    }
}

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.
