Force 3 Click

Force 3 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Example Description

This application demonstrates the use of Force 3 Click board.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Force3

Example Key Functions

• force3_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void force3_cfg_setup ( force3_cfg_t *cfg );

• force3_init Initialization function.

err_t force3_init ( force3_t *ctx, force3_cfg_t *cfg );

• force3_read_raw_data Read 12bit raw data.

uint16_t force3_read_raw_data ( force3_t *ctx );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and makes an initial log.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    force3_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );

    //  Click initialization.

    force3_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    FORCE3_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    force3_init( &force3, &cfg );
}

Application Task

Reads the sensor raw data and displays it on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    uint16_t raw_data;

    raw_data = force3_read_raw_data( &force3 );
    log_printf( &logger, "Raw data: %d \r\n", raw_data );

    if ( ( raw_data > 5 ) && ( raw_data <= 200 ) )
    {
       log_printf( &logger, ">> Light touch \r\n" );
    }
    else if ( ( raw_data > 200 ) && ( raw_data <= 500 ) )
    {
       log_printf( &logger, ">> Light squeeze \r\n" );
    }
    else if ( ( raw_data > 500 ) && ( raw_data <= 800 ) )
    {
       log_printf( &logger, ">> Medium squeeze \r\n" );
    }
    else if ( raw_data > 800 )
    {
       log_printf( &logger, ">> Big squeeze \r\n" );
    }
    
    log_printf( &logger, "----------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
