Thermo 29 Click is a compact add-on board for accurate temperature measurements. This board features the TMP126, a high-accuracy SPI-configurable digital temperature sensor from Texas Instruments. The TMP126 consists of an internal thermal BJT factory-calibrated sensor, 14-bit ADC, and a digital signal processor, offering a high accuracy of ±0.25°C and a temperature resolution of 0.03125°C per LSB. It also has a programmable alarm function that outputs an interrupt signal to the MCU when a specific temperature event occurs.

We provide a library for the Thermo 29 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 from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Thermo 29 Click driver.
thermo29_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void thermo29_cfg_setup ( thermo29_cfg_t *cfg );
thermo29_init
Initialization function.
err_t thermo29_init ( thermo29_t *ctx, thermo29_cfg_t *cfg );
thermo29_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function.
err_t thermo29_default_cfg ( thermo29_t *ctx );
thermo29_read_unique_id
This function reads the device unique ID words (6 bytes in total).
err_t thermo29_read_unique_id ( thermo29_t *ctx, uint16_t *unique_id );
thermo29_get_alert_pin
This function returns the alert pin logic state.
uint8_t thermo29_get_alert_pin ( thermo29_t *ctx );
thermo29_read_temperature
This function reads the temperature measurement in degrees Celsius.
err_t thermo29_read_temperature ( thermo29_t *ctx, float *temperature );
This example demonstrates the use of Thermo 29 click board by reading and displaying the temperature measurements.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and logger, and performs the click default configuration which enables continuous conversion and sets the conversion rate to 1 Hz with a data ready flag enabled on the alert pin. After that, reads and displays the device 48-bit unique ID.
void application_init ( void )

log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
thermo29_cfg_t thermo29_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* 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.

}
uint16_t unique_id[ 3 ];
if ( THERMO29_OK == thermo29_read_unique_id ( &thermo29, unique_id ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Device Unique ID: 0x%.2X%.2X%.2X\r\n",
unique_id[ 0 ], unique_id[ 1 ], unique_id[ 2 ] );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Waits for the data ready alert flag, then reads the temperature measurement in Celsius and displays the results on the USB UART approximately once per second.
void application_task ( void )
{
float temperature;
// Wait for the data ready alert flag
while ( thermo29_get_alert_pin ( &thermo29 ) );
if ( ( THERMO29_OK == thermo29_clear_alert_status ( &thermo29 ) ) &&
( THERMO29_OK == thermo29_read_temperature ( &thermo29, &temperature ) ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " Temperature: %.2f degC\r\n\n", temperature );
}
}

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. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
