Key Features:
- MEMS thermopile-based sensor, thermal isolation technology, resistant to surface contamination, low power application, I2C interface, and more
- Based on the FS3000-1005 - air velocity module from Renesas
- Can be used for air handling systems, HVAC, analytic gas monitoring systems, data centers, and air quality systems to detect failures in the fan or blower, fan speed control, or filter clogging
- mikroBUS: I2C Interface
The Air Velocity Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that measures direct airspeed. This board features the FS3000-1005, a surface-mount type air velocity module utilizing a MEMS thermopile-based sensor from Renesas. This I2C-configurable air velocity module features a digital output with a 12-bit resolution with a wide operational range of 0-7.2meter/second (0-16.2mph). The sensor comprises a “solid” thermal isolation technology and silicon-carbide coating to protect it from abrasive wear and water condensation. This Click board™ is suitable for air handling systems, HVAC, analytic gas monitoring systems, data centres, and air quality systems to detect failures in the fan or blower, fan speed control, or filter clogging.
The Air Velocity Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK-compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a thoroughly tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
Software Support
We provide a library for the Air Velocity 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 Athe Air Velocity Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
airvelocity_read_outputThis function reads the raw output counts by using I2C serial interface. -
airvelocity_convert_counts_to_mpsThis function converts raw output counts to velocity in m/sec (0-7.23).
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the Air Velocity Click Board™ by reading and displaying the output counts and air velocity in m/sec.
void application_task ( void )
{
uint16_t out_counts;
if ( AIRVELOCITY_OK == airvelocity_read_output ( &airvelocity, &out_counts ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Out counts: %urn", out_counts );
log_printf ( &logger, " Air velocity: %.2f m/srnn", airvelocity_convert_counts_to_mps ( out_counts ) );
Delay_ms ( 250 );
}
}
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.AirVelocity
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click Board™, 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 Air Velocity 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.
