Barometer 12 Click

How does it work?

Barometer 12 Click is based on the ICP-10125, a high-accuracy, low-power, 10-atm waterproof barometric pressure and temperature sensor from TDK InvenSense. It is a very accurate sensor and can measure pressure differences with an accuracy of ±1 Pa, enabling altitude measurement differentials as small as 8.5 cm, less than the height of a single stair step. In addition to high accuracy, this sensor consumes only 1.3μA at 1Hz, making it ideal for battery-powered applications. According to the datasheet table, the sensor shows the best performance when operated with the recommended temperature and pressure range. The sensor works at 1.8V, which it gets from the AP2112, a CMOS LDO regulator from Diodes Incorporated.

Barometer 12 Click uses a standard 2-Wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU supporting clock frequency up to 400KHz. To allow safe sensor operation on both 5V and 3.3V voltage logic, this Click board™ features the PCA9306, a dual bidirectional I2C bus and SMBus voltage-level translator from Texas Instruments.

This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VIO SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. This Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Software Support

We provide a library for the Barometer 12 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MIKROE compilers. The demo can run on all the main MIKROE development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for Barometer 12 Click driver.

Key functions

• barometer12_inv_invpres_calib Barometer 12 inverse process data function.

• barometer12_get_raw_data Barometer 12 get RAW data function.

• barometer12_get_press_and_temp Barometer 12 get pressure and temperature function.

Example Description

This library contains API for the Barometer 12 Click driver. The library initializes and defines the I2C bus drivers to write and read data from registers. This demo application shows an example of
atmospheric pressure and temperature measurement.

void application_task ( void )  
 { 
     float pressure; 
     float temperature; 

     barometer12_get_press_and_temp( &barometer12, &pressure, &temperature ); 
     log_printf( &logger, " Pressure    : %.2f Parn", pressure ); 
     log_printf( &logger, " Temperature : %.2f Crn", temperature ); 
     log_printf( &logger, "----------------------------rn" ); 
     Delay_ms( 1000 ); 
 }

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Barometer12

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 MIKROE compilers.

mikroSDK

This Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK – MIKROE Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
