La carte Force 2 Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire mikroBUS™ dotée de circuits permettant d'intégrer les capteurs de force de la série FSS1500NGT de Honeywell dans vos projets (avec une résistance de détection de force à zone unique incluse avec le Click Board). Cette carte Click Board™ utilise le capteur de force FSS1500NGT qui est conçu pour être l'un des capteurs de force les plus fiables disponibles, comme l'illustre la valeur nominale de 20 millions de cycles moyens avant défaillance (MCTF) à 25 °C [77 °F]. Ce capteur à technologie de montage en surface (SMT) à profil bas permet un assemblage automatisé sur une carte de circuit imprimé, aidant souvent le client à réduire les coûts d'assemblage tout en maintenant des performances de détection de force précises et fiables dans un boîtier compact de qualité commerciale.
La carte Force 2 Click Board™ 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 du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The Force 2 Click Board™ Work?
The FSS1500NGT force sensor incorporates Honeywell sensing technology that uses a specialized piezoresistive micromachined silicon sensing element. The low power, unamplified, uncompensated Wheatstone bridge circuit design provides inherently stable mV output over the force range. The sensor package design incorporates patented modular construction. The use of innovative elastomeric technology and engineered molded plastics results in load excitation capacities up to 60 N (range dependent). The stainless steel ball provides excellent mechanical stability, and is suitable for a variety of potential medical and commercial applications.
The Force 2 Click Board™ also contains all the needed circuitry, required to get precise measurements from the sensor. It includes four operational amplifiers in total, forming one differential amplifier, with voltage adder, which can be used to set the measurement range. Gain setting is also available, in order to enable user to easily set this click board according to various needs. Range and gain are both set using the onboard multi-turn trimmers VR1 and VR2. That way, it is ensured that the precise setting can easily be done. The output of the differential amplifier is connected to the analog pin AN of mikroBUS™.
Force sensors operate on the principle that the resistance of silicon-implanted piezoresistors will change when the resistors flex under applied force. The sensor concentrates force from the applications, through the stainless steel ball, directly to the silicon-sensing element. The amount of resistance changes in proportion to the amount of force being applied. This change in circuit resistance results in a corresponding mV output level change. Low voltage supply allows for use in many battery powered applications.
The Force 2 Click Board™ have FSS1500NGT force sensor on it and the force sensing range is 0-15N with overforce (the maximum force which may safely be applied to the product for it to remain in specification once force is returned to the operating force range) up to 45N.
The power supply is 5V and this allows only 5V MCUs to be interfaced with the Click boards™ directly.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Force 2 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 to control Force 2 Click board.
Key Functions
force2_adc_set_in_channel( );- Function sets input channel.force2_adc_init( );- Function initializes ADC.force2_adc_read( );- Function reads ADC values.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes GPIO and LOG structures, set AN pin as input.
- Application Initialization - Initalizes ADC driver, sets ADC channel and makes an initial log.
- Application Task - (code snippet) This is an example that shows the capabilities of the Force 2 Click Board™ by taking measurements from the device and displaying it via USART terminal.
void application_task ( )
{
adc_val = force2_adc_read( );
disp_val = force2_val_conv( adc_val, 4095, 15, 0 );
ByteToStr( disp_val, log_txt );
Ltrim( log_txt );
mikrobus_logWrite( "Force: ", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( "N", _LOG_LINE );
mikrobus_logWrite( "-------------------", _LOG_LINE );
Delay_ms( 500 );
}
force2_val_conv ( uint32_t x, uint32_t in_max, uint32_t out_min, uint32_t out_max )- re-maps ADC value to force value in newton.force2_adc_set_in_channel( );- Function sets input channel.force2_adc_init( );- Function initializes ADC.force2_adc_read( );- Function reads ADC values.

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 Force 2 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.
