Click board current loop example

This folder contains the source files for the demonstration project on current loop using Click boards "4-20 mA T click board" and "4-20 mA R click board".

The project shows how to configure current loop between two standalone devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi) with transmitter and receiver connected by pair of wires.

Prerequisites

  • REXYGEN Runtime Core must be installed and running on both target devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi).
  • SPI bus must be enabled and available on both target devices (e.g. /dev/spidev0.0).
  • Click boards installed on target devices (e.g. Pi click shield for Raspberry Pi or directly to SPI pins)
  • The wiring between transmiter and receiver (current loop).

Running the example (same for both devices)##

  • The *exec.mdl file is the project main file.
  • Open it with REXYGEN Studio.
  • Specify the SPI bus by the "p0" parameter of the REXLANG function block.
  • Compile and download corresponding project to the target device according to the installed click board.
  • Setup desired current by "CNR_current" in "4_20mA_T_click_task" (transmitter) and see the output of "LIN" block in "4_20mA_R_click_task" (receiver).
