Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Shake2Wake Click is based on the ADXL362, a digital output 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, and the ADP195, a logic-controlled high-side power switch with reverse current blocking, both from Analog Devices. The ultralow-power ADXL362 features an on-chip temperature sensor, a high resolution of 1mg/LSB detection with ranges of ±2 g, ±4 g, and ±8, low noise, and acceleration sample synchronization via an external trigger. The ADXL362 comes with various features for system-level power savings, such as adjustable thresholds for motion activation, autonomous interrupt processing without the need for the host MCU intervention that allows the rest of the system to be turned off completely, deep embedded

FIFO, and more. The ADXL362 also provides a 12-bit output resolution and 8-bit data for more efficient single-byte transfers when a lower resolution is sufficient. This Click board™ has two main operating modes: measuring and wake-up. For use as a regular accelerometer, for continuous sensing, use the measurement mode. The ADP195 on this Click board™ is an onboard power switch that controls an external device connected through a screw terminal. The load switch isolates the power domain and protects against the reverse current flow from output to input. The ADXL362 uses an SPI serial interface to communicate with the host microcontroller. Several of the built-in functions of the ADXL362

can trigger interrupts to alert the host MCU of certain status conditions. The ADXL362 can use INT1 or INT2 selected over the INT SEL jumper to meet the mapped condition expected to be activated, with INT2 chosen by default. The ADXL362's interrupt is also connected to the host MCU over the INT pin, enabling the ADP195 when movement occurs. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

UNI-DS v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different STM32, Kinetis, TIVA, CEC, MSP, PIC, dsPIC, PIC32, and AVR MCUs regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over WiFi. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, UNI-DS v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any

circumstances at any time. Each part of the UNI-DS v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. Communication options such as USB-UART, USB

HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. UNI-DS v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output via UART Mode

1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "FLASH" button initiates the build process, and programs it on the created setup.

2. After the programming is completed, click on the Tools icon in the upper-right panel, and select the UART Terminal.

3. After opening the UART Terminal tab, first check the baud rate setting in the Options menu (default is 115200). If this parameter is correct, activate the terminal by clicking the "CONNECT" button.

4. Now terminal status changes from Disconnected to Connected in green, and the data is displayed in the Received data field.

Library Description

This library contains API for Shake2Wake Click driver.

Key functions:

  • shake2wake_get_lo_res_raw_data - This function is used to read 8-bit acceleration data per axis

  • shake2wake_get_raw_data - This function is used to read the 3-axis raw data from the accelerometer

  • shake2wake_read_temperature - This function is used to read temperature from an internal sensor

 * # Description
 * This app shows the capabilities of the Shake2Wake click by
 * reading values of an accelerometer.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 * 
 * ## Application Init 
 * Initalizes device and applies default settings.
 * 
 * ## Application Task  
 * This is an example that shows the capabilities of the Shake2Wake click by
 * reading values of an accelerometer and logging them on USART terminal and,
 * in case of an interrupt, it raises voltage on the connector.
