Hardware Overview

How does it work?

1-Wire I2C Click is based on the DS28E17, a 1-Wire-to-I2C master bridge from Analog Devices. The bridge supports 15Kbps and 77Kbps 1-Wire protocol with packetized I2C data payloads. The factory-programmed unique 64-bit 1-Wire ROM ID provides an unalterable serial number to the end equipment, thus allowing multiple DS8E17 devices to coexist with other devices in a 1-Wire network and be accessed individually without affecting other devices. The 1-Wire I2C Click allows

communication with complex I2C devices, such as displays, ADCs, DACs, sensors, and more. The bridge provides 1-Wire communication with only one I2C device. 1-Wire I2C Click uses the 1-Wire interface as a bridge to the standard 2-Wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU. You can choose a One-Wire input pin over the OW SEL jumper, where the OW1 is routed to an analog pin of the mikroBUS™ socket and is set by default. You can also reset the bridge over the RST pin. The I2C

device can be connected over a 4-pin screw terminal. 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, this Click board™ 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

6LoWPAN Clicker is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC microcontroller, the PIC32MX470F512H from Microchip, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a mikroProg connector, and a header for interfacing with external electronics. Along with this microcontroller, the board also contains a 2.4GHz ISM band transceiver, allowing you to add wireless communication to your target application. Its compact design provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere

and under any circumstances. Each part of the 6LoWPAN Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the 6LoWPAN Clicker programming method, using USB HID mikroBootloader, or through an external mikroProg connector for PIC, dsPIC, or PIC32 programmer, the Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. The USB Micro-B connection can provide up to 500mA of current for the Clicker board, which is more than enough to operate all onboard and additional modules, or it can power

over two standard AA batteries. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several buttons and LED indicators. 6LoWPAN Clicker is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output via Debug Mode

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

2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.

Library Description

This library contains API for 1-Wire I2C Click driver.

Key functions:

  • c1wirei2c_reset_device - This function resets the device by toggling the RST pin state

  • c1wirei2c_write_data - This function addresses and writes 1-255 bytes to an I2C slave without completing the transaction with a stop

  • c1wirei2c_read_data_stop - This function is used to address and read 1-255 bytes from an I2C slave in one transaction

 * @brief 1-Wire I2C Click Example.
 *
 * # Description
 * This example demonstrates the use of 1-Wire I2C click board by reading
 * the temperature measurement from connected Thermo 4 click board.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initializes the driver and performs the click default configuration.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * Reads the temperature measurement from connected Thermo 4 click board and
 * displays the results on the USB UART once per second.
