Software Support

We provide a library for the Accel6 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 initializes and defines the I2C bus driver and drivers that offer a choice for writing data in register. The library includes function for read X/Y/Z axis data , orient chip, detect tap and slope on the chip and function for read temperature data . The user also has the function for initializes chip, set offset and software reset.

Key functions :

• float accel6_getAxis(uint8_t axis) - Functions for read axis data
• void accel6_getOrient(uint8_t *z_orient, uint8_t *xy_orient) - Functions for read orient
• uint8_t accel6_getTapStatus() - Functions for detect tap on the x/y/z axis

Examples Description

The application is composed of three sections :

• System Initialization - Initializes I2C module
• Application Initialization - Initializes Driver init and settings accelerometer data range, bandwidth, mode and sleep timer which are necessary for the init chip.
• Application Task - (code snippet) - Reads the accel X / Y / Z axis data in mg, Temperature data in C, detects the orientation of the X,Y and Z axis and checking on which axis the tap is detected. All data logs on usb uart for every 500 ms.

}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• I2C
• 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.
