Analog Front End device operation sample code for Arduino

# What is this?

An Arduino library for NXP Analog Front End device with sample code.
This library provides simple API to get analog input channels.
Include device name header file (NAFE13388_UIM.h or NAFE33352_UIOM.h) to use those class libraries.

This repo shoiws some basic operations of NAFE13388_UIM as well as practical samples to work with RTD, thermocouple and loadcell.

# Easy to use

3 types of Arduino UNO boards: R3, R4 Minima and R4 WiFi are supported.

> Note
> For any type of Arduino board and NAFE13388-UIM/NAFE33352-UIOM board connection, DON'T PLUG ARDUINO SHIELD SOCKET DIRECTLY!!
> The 3.3V supply pin should be disconected to protect Arduino suppy circuit.
> Please refer to pictures in later in this page.

Example sketches can be built and run on any of those boards.

## Simple example code for NAFE13388-UIM

Next is a sample of the basic operation of NAFE13388-UIM measureing analog voltage on AI1P and AI1N terminal.

#include <NAFE13388_UIM.h>
NAFE13388_UIM afe; // make an instance of NAFE13388_UIM
void setup() {
// serial channel (between PC and Arduino) setup
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial)
;
Serial.println("\n***** Hello, NAFE13388! *****");
// SPI bus setup
SPI.begin();
pinMode(SS, OUTPUT); // Required for UNO R4
// AFE reset and check connection
afe.begin();
afe.blink_leds();
// ADC logical chennel setup
afe.logical_channel[0].configure(0x1710, 0x00A4, 0xBC00, 0x0000);
afe.logical_channel[1].configure(0x2710, 0x00A4, 0xBC00, 0x0000);
Serial.println("\nlogical channel 0 (AI1P-AICOM) and 1 (AI2P-AICOM) voltages are shown in ADC readout value [V]");
// To use DRDY signal to detect AD conversion done
afe.use_DRDY_trigger(true);
}
void loop() {
// Show ADC read value on volt
Serial.print((NAFE13388_UIM::volt_t)afe.logical_channel[0]);
Serial.print(", ");
Serial.println((NAFE13388_UIM::volt_t)afe.logical_channel[1]);

To try this sample code, set jumper plug on J91 to short AICOM and GND.
The analog input terminals are available as picture below.

## Simple example code for NAFE33352-UIOM

Next is a sample of the basic operation of NAFE33352-UIOM measureing analog voltage beween AI1P and VCM with DAC working to output voltage or current.

#include <NAFE33352_UIOM.h>
NAFE33352_UIOM shasta; // make an instance of NAFE33352_UIOM
#define VOLTAGE_OUTPUT_SETTING // demo type selector: comment-out to select current output
double output_value;
int count = 0;
void setup() {
// serial channel (between PC and Arduino) setup
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial)
;
Serial.println("\n***** Hello, NAFE33352_UIOM! *****");
// SPI bus setup
SPI.begin();
pinMode(SS, OUTPUT); // Required for UNO R4
// AFE reset and check connection
shasta.begin();
#ifdef VOLTAGE_OUTPUT_SETTING
// DAC setup: configure to voltage output
output_value = 5.00; // 5V
shasta.dac.configure(NAFE33352_UIOM::DAC::ModeSelect::VOLTAGE);
#else
// DAC setup: configure to current output
output_value = 20 * 1e-3; // 20mA
shasta.dac.configure(NAFE33352_UIOM::DAC::ModeSelect::CURRENT);
#endif
// Set DAC output
shasta.dac = output_value;
delay( 100 );
// ADC logical chennel setup
shasta.logical_channel[0].configure(0x0020, 0x50B4, 0x5000); // voltage between AI1P - VCOM
shasta.logical_channel[1].configure(0x0080, 0x5064, 0x5000); // supply monitoring: VHDD
shasta.logical_channel[2].configure(0x0088, 0x5064, 0x5000); // supply monitoring: VHSS
shasta.logical_channel[3].configure(0x0038, 0x2064, 0x5000); // VSNS voltage
shasta.logical_channel[4].configure(0x0030, 0x3064, 0x5000); // ISNS current
}
void loop() {
double data;
// show ADC measured data (in volt and ampere)
for (auto i = 0; i < shasta.enabled_logical_channels(); i++) {
data = shasta.logical_channel[i];
Serial.print(data, 9);
Serial.print(", ");
}
// show AIO_STATUS register value
Serial.println(shasta.reg(NAFE33352_UIOM::Register16::AIO_STATUS), HEX);
// alternate DAC output polarity
shasta.dac = output_value * (count++ & 0x1 ? +1.00 : -1.00);
delay(1000);
