We provide a library for the Accel_3 Click 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 and read X, Y & Z axis value from Accel 3 click.
Key functions :
void accel3_Init()- Initializes functionuint16_t accel3_readXaxis()- Function read X axis valueuint16_t accel3_readYaxis()- Function read Y axis valueuint16_t accel3_readZaxis()- Function read Z axis value
Examples Description
Description :
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enable's - I2C. Check sensor ID and initialize Accel 3 click.
- Application Task - (code snippet) This is a example which demonstrates the use of Accel 3 click board. Measured coordinates (X,Y,Z) are being sent to the UART where you can track their changes.
void applicationTask()
{
int16_t valueX;
int16_t valueY;
int16_t valueZ;
uint8_t txtX[ 15 ];
uint8_t txtY[ 15 ];
uint8_t txtZ[ 15 ];
valueX = accel3_readXaxis();
valueY = accel3_readYaxis();
valueZ = accel3_readZaxis();
IntToStr( valueX, txtX );
IntToStr( valueY, txtY );
IntToStr( valueZ, txtZ );
mikrobus_logWrite( "X:", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( txtX, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( " Y:", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( txtY, _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( " Z:", _LOG_TEXT );
mikrobus_logWrite( txtZ, _LOG_LINE );
Delay_1sec();
}The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our [LibStock](https://libstock.mikroe.com/projects/view/1795/accel-3-click page.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
- UART
- Conversions
Additional notes and informations
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.
