Current 7 Click Board
Current 7 Click Board
The Current 7 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board providing a precise and accurate current sensing solution. This board features the INA282, a wide common-mode range, bidirectional, high-accuracy current shunt monitor from Texas Instruments. The INA282 represents a voltage output current shunt monitor that can sense drops across shunts at common-mode voltages from –14 V to +80 V, independent of the supply voltage, which operates in a range from 2.7V up to 18V supply. The zero-drift topology enables high-precision measurements with maximum input offset voltages as low as 70μV. Also, the user is allowed to process the output signal in analog or digital form. This Click board™ delivers higher performance to industrial control and automation applications, load and power supplies monitoring, telecom equipment, and many more.
The Current 7 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 Current 7 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 Current 7 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
current7_get_adc
Current 7 get ADC function. -
current7_get_adc_voltage
Current 7 get ADC voltage function. -
current7_get_current
Current 7 get current function.
Example Description
This library contains API for the Current 7 Click Board™ driver. The demo application reads ADC value and current ( A ).
void application_task ( void )
{
static float current;
static uint16_t adc_val;
current7_get_adc( ¤t7, &adc_val );
log_printf( &logger, " ADC : %d rn", adc_val );
log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - rn" );
current7_get_current( ¤t7, ¤t );
log_printf( &logger, " Current : %.3f Arn", current );
log_printf( &logger, "--------------------rn" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );
}
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.Current7
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a 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 Current 7 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.
