Das Scanner Click Board™ ist eine optische Scanner-Erweiterungskarte zum Bau kostensensibler optischer Scanner und Drucker. Die Hauptkomponente dieser Karte ist ein linearer optischer Array-Sensor mit 102 Pixeln mit der Bezeichnung TSL3301CL von AMS. Für den Zugriff auf Sensorregister von jedem Host-Controller aus erfolgt die Kommunikation über eine dreiadrige SPI-Hochgeschwindigkeits-Seriellschnittstelle. Dieser lineare optische Sensor bietet eine hohe Pixeldichte und eine integrierte Analog-Digital-Umwandlung für das Scanner Click Board™ und ermöglicht außerdem hochauflösendes Scannen und einen skalierbaren Betriebsbereich. Dieses Click Board™ ist am besten für Anwendungen wie Scanner, Druckerkantenerkennung und optische Zeichenerkennung geeignet.
Das Scanner Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Scanner Click Board™ Work?
The Scanner Click Board™ uses the TSL3301CL IC, 102 × 1 linear optical sensor array with onboard A/D conversion from AMS-AG. The sensor consists of 102 photodiodes, also called pixels, arranged in a linear array. Light energy impinging on a pixel generates a photocurrent, which is then integrated by the active integration circuitry associated with that pixel. During the integration period, a sampling capacitor connects to the output of the integrator through an analog switch. The amount of charge accumulated at each pixel is directly proportional to the light intensity on that pixel and to the integration time. Integration, sampling, output, and reset of the integrators are performed by the control logic in response to commands input via the SDI serial data input pin on the mikroBUS™. Data is than read out on the SDO serial data output pin.
A normal sequence of operation consists of a pixel reset, start of integration, integration period, sampling of integrators, and pixel output. Reset sets all the integrators to zero. Start of integration releases the integrators from the reset state and defines the beginning of the integration period. Sampling the integrators ends the integration period and stores the charge accumulated in each pixel in a sample and hold circuit. Reading the pixels causes the sampled value of each pixel to be converted to 8-bit digital format and output on the SDO serial data output pin. All 102 pixels are output sequentially unless interrupted by an abort command or reset command.
Gain adjustment is controlled by three 5-bit DACs, one for each of the the three zones, while offset correction is controlled by three 8-bit sign-magnitude DACs and is performed in the analog domain prior to the digital conversion. There is a separate offset DAC for each of the three zones, where codes 0h - 7Fh correspond to positive offset values and codes 80h – FFh correspond to negative offset values. The programmed offset correction is applied to the sampled energy, and then the gain is applied (i.e. the gain will affect the offset correction).
The Scanner Click Board™ communicates over a serial digital interface (SPI serial interface) that follows a USART format, with start bit, 8 data bits, and one or more stop bits. Data is clocked in synchronously on the rising edge of system clock from SCK pin on the mikroBUS™ and clocked out on the falling edge of system clock. When clocking data out continuously (i.e. reading out pixels) there will be one stop bit between data words. The receive and transmit state machines are independent, which means commands can be issued while reading data. This feature allows starting new integration cycles while reading data.
It is designed to be operated with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels that can be selected via VCC SEL jumper. This allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the SPI communication lines properly.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Scanner Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
This library holds functions that allow user to start up the device, write to the device, make one clock pulse and control each individual pin used.
Key Functions
void scanner_startup ();- Function is used to start up the linear array sensor.void scanner_serial_cmd ( uint8_t cmd );- Function is used to write command to the device.void scanner_clock ( );- Function is used to make SCK pulse.void scanner_read_pixel ( uint8_t *pixel_data );- Function is used to read pixel status.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes GPIO and LOG structures, sets MOSI and SCK pins as output and MISO pin as input.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables GPIO and starts device and sets gain and offset.
- Application Task - Device reads device pixels and logs values in 3 rows, left, center and right.
void application_task ( )
{
scanner_pixel_log( log_write );
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
- Conversions
- UART
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click Board™, USB UART 2 Click Board™ or RS232 Click Board™ 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.
MIKROSDK
The Scanner Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
