Overview
Das Proximity 10 Click Board™ ist ein vielseitiges Gerät zur Näherungserkennung. Es kann Fremdobjekte in einer Entfernung von bis zu 200 cm erkennen. Das Click Board™ verfügt über einen Erkennungssensor-IC, der einen programmierbaren Ereignisinterrupt auslösen kann, wodurch dieses Click Board™ sogar einfache Gestenbewegungen erkennen kann. Der erweiterte integrierte IC-Sensor verfügt über einen LED-Treiberabschnitt, einen Lichtsensor mit integriertem analogen Frontend (AFE), einen 16-Bit-Analog-Digital-Wandler (ADC) und eine digitale Engine zur Verarbeitung und Aggregation des Messergebnisses, was die Firmware-Entwicklung vereinfacht. Die Umgebungslichtunterdrückung umfasst sowohl digitale als auch optische Filterung, was zu einer erhöhten Erkennungszuverlässigkeit führt.
With its high sensitivity and signal to noise ratio, the Proximity 10 Click Board™ is ideally suited for a range of applications that rely on accurate and reliable proximity detection. It can be used for proximity activated surveillance systems, equipment lid closing, object proximity detection, simple gesture activated HID interface, and other similar applications which rely on an accurate object proximity detection.
How Does The Proximity 10 Click Board™ Work?
The main sensor IC on the Proximity 10 Click Board™ is the SI1143, a photometric sensor for the ambient light and proximity detection, from Silicon Labs. Among other sections, this IC contains a LED driver, used to drive an externally connected LED, which provides feedback for the SI1143 sensory sections. Therefore, the LED should be chosen so that its spectrum matches the spectral sensitivity of the on-chip light sensor. For this reason, the Click board™ is equipped with the narrow beam LED from Rohm Semiconductor with its spectral response characteristic peaking at 870nm, which is a perfect choice for this application.
The proximity detection consists of sending a pulse to the LED while measuring the response of the reflected light. Most of the parameters are user configurable, such as the sampling frequency, pulses duration, averaging parameters and more. More in-depth information about the registers can be found in the SI1143 datasheet. Aimed towards the low consumption market, the SI1143 uses a rather low voltage range, between 1.7V and 3.6V. Since the most of the MCUs use 3.3V, the Proximity 10 Click Board™ is designed so that the SI1143 IC is directly interfaced with the mikroBUS™.
The Proximity 10 Click Board™ offers an interrupt output pin that can be used to trigger an interrupt on the host MCU. The SI1143 IC interrupt engine allows several interrupt sources, which can be used to trigger a state change on the INT pin. These sources include proximity detection interrupts (proximity OFF and proximity ON), sample interrupts, and more. The INT pin itself is highly configurable, and when asserted, this pin triggers an MCU interrupt, informing it that the configured interrupt event has occurred. The MCU can then read the desired register output, not having to poll it constantly, which saves both MCU cycles and power. The INT pin is routed via the level shifting IC to the mikroBUS™ INT pin.
As already mentioned, detailed information on the SI1143 IC registers can be found in the datasheet. However, MikroElektronika provides a library that contains functions compatible with the MikroElektronika compilers, which can be used for simplified programming of the Proximity 10 click. The library also contains an example application, which demonstrates its use. This example application can be used as a reference for custom designs.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Proximity 10 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 allows user to measure proximity between object and sensor. Also the ALS, temperature and VDD measurement can be performed in the same time and on the same way. The entire control of the Proximity 10 Click board can be perfomed by using this library, by writing to the registers, reading from the registers, writing desired parameters, checking the response, interrupt status checking and sending a commands. For more details check documentation.
Key Functions
T_PROXIMITY10_RETVAL proximity10_readBytes( uint8_t regAddr, uint8_t *dataOut, uint8_t nBytes )- This function reads the desired number od bytes from the registers..T_PROXIMITY10_RETVAL proximity10_writeByte( uint8_t regAddr, uint8_t dataIn )- This function writes a one byte data to the desired register.T_PROXIMITY10_RETVAL proximity10_send_command( uint8_t _command )- This function allows user to execute a desired command and checks the response.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes peripherals and pins.
- Application Initialization - Initializes I2C serial interface and performs a device wake up, reset and all necessary configurations. The device will wake up and performs a measurements every 10 milliseconds.
- Application Task - (code snippet) - Reads the proximity PS1 data value and sends result to the uart terminal. If measured proximity value is greater than selected proximity threshold value, the interrupt will be generated and the message will be showed on the uart terminal. When interrupt is generated the Sound function will make an alarm sound with determined duration depending on the detected proximity value, how much is object away or close from the sensor.
void applicationTask()
{
proximity10_readWord( _PROXIMITY10_PS1_DATA_REG, &proximity );
