Magneto 11 Click Board
Magneto 11 Click Board
The Magneto 11 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that contains an accurate and reliable magnetic sensing device. This board features the AS5510, a linear hall sensor with 10-bit resolution, and an I2C interface from AMS AG. It can measure the absolute position of lateral movement of a simple 2-pole magnet. A lateral stroke of 0.5mm ~ 2mm can be measured with air gaps around 1.0mm, depending on the magnet size. The AS5510 may be switched to a Power-Down state when it is not used to conserve power. This Click board™ is suitable for position sensing applications requiring a small magnetic range where noise is a critical design parameter.
The Magneto 11 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
Software Support
We provide a library for the Magneto 11 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the Magneto 11 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
magneto11_get_magnetic_field
This function reads the magnetic field strength in milliTesla. -
magneto11_set_sensitivity
This function writes specified data to the sensitivity register. -
magneto11_set_config
This function writes specified data to the config register.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of Magneto 11 Click board™ by reading and displaying the magnetic field strength value.
void application_task ( void )
{
float magnetic_field;
if ( MAGNETO11_OK == magneto11_get_magnetic_field ( &magneto11, &magnetic_field ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Magnetic Field: %.3f mT rnn", magnetic_field );
Delay_ms ( 200 );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Other MikroE Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.Magneto11
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
MIKROSDK
The Magneto 11 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.
