XMEGA-A3BU Xplained with ATAVRSBIN1 Data Display Documentation

Introduction

This is an application illustrating a few basic examples on how to use the Common Sensor API and Font support facilities in the AVR Software Framework.

Main Files

• inertial_sensor.c Main application module
• conf_board.h Evaluation board configuration
• conf_st7565r.h ST7565R display controller driver configuration
• conf_sysfont.h Monochrome font configuration
• conf_twim.h TWI master driver configuration
• conf_usart_spi.h USART in SPI master mode configuration

Device Info

This example has been developed and tested on the XMEGA-A3BU Xplained evaluation kit with a Sensors Xplained Inertial 1 board (ATAVRSBIN1) fitted to the J1 and J2 expansion blocks.

Description of the example application

Upon power up the example application will display brief text greeting on the LCD before sampling and printing formatted data obtained from the sensors on the ATAVRSBIN1 board.

Data from only one particular sensor is shown. Use the SW1 button on the evaluation kit board to cycle through outputs from different sensors. The 3-axis accelerometer values are initially displayed when the board is powered up. Pressing SW1 will cycle through displays showing data for the gyroscope, electronic compass and finally the temperature sensor before returning again to the accelerometer output display

Dependencies

Relevant module dependencies for this application are:

• Common Sensor API
• Monochrome graphical display system
• Font support

Compilation info

This software was written for the GNU GCC and IAR for AVR. Other compilers may or may not work.
