Carte clic RS232 SPI
Carte clic RS232 SPI
Overview
Le RS232 SPI Click Board™ est basé sur le MAX3100, un émetteur-récepteur asynchrone universel (UART) - le premier UART optimisé explicitement pour les petits systèmes basés sur des microcontrôleurs, de Maxim Integrated. En raison des fonctionnalités contenues dans ses modules, le RS232 SPI Click Board™ peut être utilisé pour les instruments portables, les petits réseaux de CVC ou de contrôle de bâtiment, l'UART dans les systèmes SPI, les systèmes alimentés par batterie, les PDA, les ordinateurs portables et bien d'autres.
La carte Click Board™ RS232 SPI est prise en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette carte Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé de la prise mikroBUS™.
How Does The RS232 SPI Click Board™ Work?
The RS232 SPI Click Board™ uses two ICs - MAX3100 and MAX3232. MAX3100 serves as UART interface to the SPI/MICROWIRE compatible interface converter. In the same time, MAX3232 device enables RS232 SPI click to meet the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and also provides the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial-port connector. The charge pump and four small external capacitors allow operation from a single 3-V to 5.5-V supply.
The RS232 SPI Click Board™ Uses an SPI™/MICROWIRE™ interface for communication with the host microcontroller (µC). Then, the MAX3100 is responsible for conversion from synchronous serial data from a microcontroller to asynchronous, serial-data communication port such as RS-232, RS-485, IrDA. In this case the RS232 protocol is used. The MAX3100 includes a crystal oscillator and a baud rate generator with software-programmable divider ratios for all common baud rates from 300 baud to 230k baud. The transmitter section accepts SPI/MICROWIRE data, formats it, and transmits it in asynchronous serial format from the TX output. Data is loaded into the transmit buffer register from the SPI/MICROWIRE interface. The MAX3100 adds start and stop bits to the data and clocks the data out at the selected baud rate.
A software- or hardware-invoked shutdown lowers quiescent current to 10µA, while allowing the MAX3100 to detect receiver activity. An 8-word-deep first-in/first-out (FIFO) buffer minimizes processor overhead. This device also includes a flexible interrupt with four maskable sources, including address recognition on 9-bit networks. Two hardware-handshaking control lines are included (one input and one output).
Because of the features contained in its modules, the RS232 SPI click can be used for handheld instruments, UART in SPI systems, small networks in HVAC or Building control, battery-powered systems, PDAs, notebooks and many more.
The RS232 SPI Click Board™ offers a selection between 3.3V and 5V operation, with the onboard SMD jumper, labelled as VCC SEL. This allows both 3.3V and 5V MCUs to be interfaced with this Click board™.

Software Support
We provide a library for the RS232 SPI 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
The library covers all the necessary functions that enables the usage of the RS232 SPI Click Board™. User can send or receive data, check if data is ready or if tx line is busy, it is possible to change baud rate and to turn the device on or off.
Key Functions
uint8_t rs232spi_dataRead()
- Function is used to read data from the receive register.uint16_t rs232spi_dataReady()
- Function is used to check if there is availavle data for reading.void rs232spi_dataWrite( uint8_t wrData )
- Function is used to write into the transmit-buffer register.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes SPI and LOG structures, sets RST pin as output and INT pin as input.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables SPI, sets up the device and starts write log.
- Application Task - (code snippet) This example demonstrates the use of RS232 SPI click board by sending or receiving the message.
void applicationTask() { uint8_t tmp; char rec; uint8_t mode = RS232SPI_WRITE_MODE; if ( mode == RS232SPI_READ_MODE ) { // RECEIVER - UART polling if ( rs232spi_dataReady() != 0 ) { rec = rs232spi_transfer( _RS232SPI_CMD_READ_DATA ); mikrobus_logWrite( &rec, _LOG_BYTE ); } } else if ( mode == RS232SPI_WRITE_MODE ) { // TRANSMITER - TX each 2 sec for ( tmp = 0; tmp < 9; tmp++ ) { rs232spi_dataWrite( MESSAGE_DATA[ tmp ] ); if ( tmp < 6 ) { Delay_ms( 100 ); } } Delay_ms( 2000 ); } }

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. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The RS232 SPI 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.
