Fan 3 click is the perfect choice for fan speed control and it can operate in seven discrete speed steps.
- Author : MikroE Team
- Date : Dec 2019.
- Type : I2C type
We provide a library for the Fan3 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.
This library contains API for Fan3 Click driver.
- Config Object Initialization function.
void fan3_cfg_setup ( fan3_cfg_t *cfg );
- Initialization function.
FAN3_RETVAL fan3_init ( fan3_t *ctx, fan3_cfg_t *cfg );
- Set speed
void fan3_set_speed ( fan3_t *ctx, uint8_t new_speed );
This application controls the fan speed.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the click device.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
fan3_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.
fan3_cfg_setup( &cfg );
FAN3_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
fan3_init( &fan3, &cfg );
log_printf( &logger, ">>> Initialized...\r\n" );
}
Cycles through different fan speeds, including 0 - stopped.
void application_task ( )
{
log_printf( &logger, "Speed 1...\r\n" );
fan3_set_speed( ctx, FAN3_SPEED1 );
Delay_ms( 4000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Speed 3...\r\n" );
fan3_set_speed( ctx, FAN3_SPEED3 );
Delay_ms( 4000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Speed 5...\r\n" );
fan3_set_speed( ctx, FAN3_SPEED5 );
Delay_ms( 4000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Speed 7...\r\n" );
fan3_set_speed( ctx, FAN3_SPEED7 );
Delay_ms( 4000 );
log_printf( &logger, "Stopped...\r\n" );
fan3_set_speed( ctx, FAN3_STOPPED );
Delay_ms( 4000 );
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.Fan3
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.
