Boost 8 Click Board™

We provide a library for the Boost 8 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroE compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroE 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 Boost 8 Click Board™ driver.

Key functions

• boost8_enable_positive_voltage Enable positive voltage output function.

• boost8_disable_positive_voltage Disable positive voltage output function.

• boost8_enable_negative_voltage Enable negative voltage output function.

Example Description

This is an example that demonstrates the use of the Boost 8 Click Board™.

void application_task ( void )  
 { 
     char inx; 

     // Waiting for the user input and performing actions based on a selected command. 
     if ( log_read( &logger, &inx, 1 ) != BOOST8_ERROR ) 
     { 
         switch(inx) 
         { 
             case '1' : 
             { 
                 log_printf( &logger, "Turning on positive output rn" ); 
                 boost8_enable_positive_voltage( &boost8 ); 
                 break; 
             } 
             case '2' : 
             { 
                 log_printf( &logger, "Turning off positive output rn" ); 
                 boost8_disable_positive_voltage( &boost8 ); 
                 break; 
             } 
             case '3' : 
             { 
                 log_printf( &logger, "Turning on negative output rn" ); 
                 boost8_enable_negative_voltage( &boost8 ); 
                 break; 
             } 
             case '4': 
             { 
                 log_printf( &logger, "Turning off negative output rn" ); 
                 boost8_disable_negative_voltage( &boost8 ); 
                 break; 
             } 
             case '5' : 
             { 
                 log_printf( &logger, "Turning on both outputs rn" ); 
                 boost8_enable_both_outputs( &boost8 ); 
                 break; 
             } 
             case '6' : 
             { 
                 log_printf( &logger, "Turning off both outputs rn" ); 
                 boost8_disable_both_outputs( &boost8 ); 
                 break; 
             } 
             default: 
             { 
                 log_printf( &logger, "> Invalid command rn" ); 
                 boost8_list_of_commands(); 
                 break; 
             } 
         } 
     } 

 }

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.Boost8

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 MikroE compilers.

MIKROSDK

The Boost 8 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroE 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.
