Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Smoke 2 Click is based on the ADPD188BI, a complete photometric system for smoke detection using optical dual-wavelength technology from Analog Devices. The module combines the dual photodetector with two separate LEDs and a mixed-signal photometric front-end ASIC. It prevents light from going directly from the LED to the photodiode without entering the smoke detection chamber. The dual-wavelength combination in a scattering measurement, a 470nm blue LED and an 850nm IR LED, allows particle size discrimination between different types of smoke, dust, or steam. The core circuitry stimulates the LEDs and measures the corresponding optical return signals. This integrated solution enables low power and reduces false smoke alarms in harsh environments due to dust, steam, and other nuisance sources. The smoke chamber 28800X is designed to be used with the ADPD188BI and minimize background response while controlling the environment around the ADPD188BI module by limiting dust accumulation and keeping out insects. The ADPD188BI registers a positive signal due to light scattering from the smoke chamber. Although the smoke chamber minimizes this positive signal, there is a nonzero response in the absence of smoke. When using a smoke chamber, this background response must be accounted for if you want to accurately measure the level of particles present in the smoke chamber. The ADPD188BI operates in three modes: Standby, Program, or Normal Sampling Mode. Standby Mode is a power-saving mode in which data collection does not occur, while the Program
Mode configures and program registers. During regular operation, the ADPD188BI pulses light and collects data, and in this mode, power consumption depends on the pulse count and data rate. Besides, the ADPD188BI also requires a supply voltage of 1.8V to work regularly. Therefore, a small regulating LDO, the ADP160 from Analog Devices, provides a 1.8V out of 3.3V mikroBUS™ rail, or optionally, from a battery power source. The output from the LDO regulator provides a needed voltage for one side of the ADG3308, a bidirectional level translator containing eight bidirectional channels from Analog Devices, while the voltage for the other side of the level translator is delivered from the VCC SEL jumper. Also, this Click board™ may be battery-powered, indicated via an LED indicator labeled as BATT, and used as a stand-alone device. It has LTC3531, a synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter also from Analog Devices. It allows battery voltage to be converted to 3.3V and used in a selection of voltage needed to be converted by ADP160 to supply ADPD188BI. Smoke 2 Click provides the possibility of using both I2C and SPI serial interfaces, although only one is allowed at any given time in the actual application. All internal registers of the ADPD188BI are accessed through the selected communications interface. I2C supports Fast mode with data transfer of 400 kbps, while the SPI interface supports frequency up to 10MHz. This selection can be performed by positioning SMD jumpers labeled COMM SEL to an appropriate position. Note that all the jumpers must be lined to the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. Additionally, test points,
located in the upper part on the top side of the board, for pins EXT_IN1, EXT_IN2, and GPIO1 allow users to plug in external sensors like thermistors into the EXT pins and to use the GPIO1 pin for some digital functionality. The EXT_IN1 and EXT_IN2 pins are also current inputs that can be connected to external sensors. A voltage source can be connected to the EXT_IN1 and EXT_IN2 pins through a series resistance, effectively converting the voltage into a current. Other test points for LED1, LED2, and LED3 pins can be found under the smoke chamber on the top side of the board if users want to plug in their LEDs and not use the internal LEDs. The user also has the option to select the voltage for the blue LED of the ADPD188BI, which can be selected via the BLUE SEL jumper to analyze the characteristics with the recommended and maximum values. This diode can be powered by a maximum of 6V achieved by LTC3459 from Analog Devices. Optionally, the Smoke 2 Click board™, in addition to the mikroBUS™ power supply, can also be powered from an external battery. The battery power supply section is designed to power ADPD188BI and fulfill the demand for a complete solution, including the microcontroller and short-range radio power needs. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, 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.
Features overview
Development board
Explorer 16/32 development board is a flexible and convenient development, demonstration, and testing platform for 16-bit PIC24 MCUs, dsPIC® DSCs, and 32-bit PIC32 MCUs from Microchip Technology. It features all the necessary hardware to develop and debug a complete embedded application. The board accepts Processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs) designed for the Explorer 16 or Explorer 16/32 development board for easy device swapping. In addition to the hardware features provided by the board, hardware expansion is possible through the use of PICtail™ Plus
daughter cards and mikroBUS™ accessory boards. Coupled with the integrated PICkit™-On-Board (PKOB), MPLAB ICD In-Circuit Debugger real-time debug facilities enable faster evaluation and prototyping of applications. This development board supports all the Explorer PIMs. However, not all PIMs are supported by the PKOB. To check the list of supported and unsupported PIMs, refer to the PICkit™ On-Board 3 (PKOB3) Support List. For PIMs not on the PKOB3 support list, use the JP1 or J14 connectors to program the device with a newer generation programming tool. Explorer 16/32
development board offers only the main board, allowing customization of the other necessary components. Choose your PIM based on MCUs and DSCs under consideration from a wide range of Processor Plug-In Modules. This board is optimal for customers migrating from Classic Explorer 16 to the new Explorer 16/32 platform, while all the necessary additional components like Processor Plug-In Modules and PICtail™ Plus Daughter Boards are already available.

* @file main.c
* @brief Smoke2 Click example
*
* # Description
* This example is made to see how Smoke 2 clicks work. The purpose of this example is that,
* depending on the way we choose, it collects data from the external environment about smoke,
* processes it, and prints it via the UART terminal.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initialization of communication modules, additional pins, Mapping pins and configures
* device for measurement.
*
* ## Application Task
* Example shows module working depending on example mode. We can choose between:
* EXAMPLE_MODE_PROXIMITY and EXAMPLE_MODE_SMOKE.
*
* Additional Functions :
* - void smoke_example ( smoke2_t *ctx ) - Example checks if sensor data goes over threshold set.
* - void proximity_example ( void ) - Reads sensor data and logs it.
