Hardware Overview
How does it work?
DIGI POT 14 Click is based on the TPL0102, a dual-channel digital potentiometer with non-volatile memory from Texas Instruments. It is a two-channel linear-taper digital potentiometer. Each potentiometer can be used as a three-terminal potentiometer or a two-terminal rheostat. When the TPL0102 is powered down, it saves the last values of wipers in EEPROM, and when the power is restored, the positions of wipers are loaded to
their initial position. The TPL0102 features a fast power-up response time to wiper settings under 100μs, single-supply, and dual-supply operation ranges. DIGI POT 14 Click uses a standard 2-Wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU and supports Standard and Fast mode with up to 400kHz of clock frequency. The I2C address can be set over the ADDR SEL jumpers, where 0 is set by default. Both potentiometers' high, low, and wiper
pins are tied to screw terminals, properly labeled as A and B sides. 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 for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Nucleo 32 with STM32L432KC MCU board provides an affordable and flexible platform for experimenting with STM32 microcontrollers in 32-pin packages. Featuring Arduino™ Nano connectivity, it allows easy expansion with specialized shields, while being mbed-enabled for seamless integration with online resources. The
board includes an on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer, supporting USB reenumeration with three interfaces: Virtual Com port, mass storage, and debug port. It offers a flexible power supply through either USB VBUS or an external source. Additionally, it includes three LEDs (LD1 for USB communication, LD2 for power,
and LD3 as a user LED) and a reset push button. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board is supported by various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IAR™, Keil®, and GCC-based IDEs like AC6 SW4STM32, making it a versatile tool for developers.

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.

* @brief DIGI POT 14 Click example
*
* # Description
* This library contains API for DIGI POT 14 Click driver.
* The demo application uses a digital potentiometer
* to change the resistance values.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* The initialization of I2C module, log UART, and additional pins.
* After the driver init, the app executes a default configuration.
*
* ## Application Task
* This example demonstrates the use of the DIGI POT 14 Click board™.
* The demo application iterates through the entire wiper range..
* Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
