CY8CKIT-028-SENSE shield support library

The Sense Shield Board (CY8CKIT-028-SENSE) has been designed as a companion to add common sensors, audio components and user interface to an Arduino based baseboard.

This kit targets two main applications:

• Audio Applications: The kit includes two PDM microphones and one analog microphone. It also has an audio codec with audio jack connector.

• Machine Learning (ML) Applications: The kit includes multiple sensors to generate input data to feed ML algorithms, such as a 9-axis sensor, a pressure and temperature sensor, or even the microphones.

• OLED Display (SSD1306)

• Orientation Sensor : BMX160 (on Rev ** of the shield) and BMI160 (on Rev *B of the shield)

• XENSIV™ Pressure & Temperature Sensor (DPS310XTSA1)

• 2 XENSIV™ MEMS Microphones (IM69D130V01XTSA1)

• PDM Microphone example code (SPK0838HT4HB)

• Audio Codec (WM8960)

The shield library provides support for:

• Initializing/freeing all of the hardware peripheral resources on the board
• Defining all pin mappings from the Arduino interface to the different peripherals
• Providing access to each of the underlying peripherals on the board

This library makes use of support libraries: display-oled-ssd1306, sensor-orientation-bmx160, sensor-xensiv-dps3xx, and audio-codec-wm8960. These can be seen in the libs directory and can be used directly instead of through the shield if desired.

The Sense Shield Board uses the Arduino Uno pin layout plus an additional 6 pins. It is compatible with the PSoC™ 4 and PSoC™ 6 Pioneer Kits. Refer to the respective kit guides for more details.

Quick Start Guide

• Pressure sensor usage
• Audio codec usage

Basic shield usage

The OLED library can be also used standalone. Follow the steps below to create a simple application which shows an interesting pattern on the display.

1. Create an empty application.
2. Add this library and emWin library to the application.
3. Enable EMWIN_NOSNTS emWin library option by adding it to the Makefile COMPONENTS list:

COMPONENTS+=EMWIN_NOSNTS

4. Place the following code in the main.c file:

#include "cyhal.h"
#include "cybsp.h"
#include "cy8ckit_028_sense.h"
#include "GUI.h"

#define IMU_SPI_FREQUENCY 10000000

int main(void)
{
    cy_rslt_t result;
    cyhal_i2c_t i2c_obj;
    xensiv_dps3xx_t* pressure_sensor;
    cyhal_spi_t spi;

    cyhal_i2c_cfg_t i2c_cfg = {
        .is_slave = false,
        .address = 0,
        .frequencyhal_hz = 400000
    };

    /* Initialize the device and board peripherals */
    result = cybsp_init();
    if(CY_RSLT_SUCCESS != result)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    /* Initialize the I2C to use with the pressure sensor and OLED display */
    result = cyhal_i2c_init(&i2c_obj, CY8CKIT_028_SENSE_PIN_I2C_SDA, CY8CKIT_028_SENSE_PIN_I2C_SCL, NULL);
    if(CY_RSLT_SUCCESS != result)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    result = cyhal_i2c_configure(&i2c_obj, &i2c_cfg);
    if(CY_RSLT_SUCCESS != result)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    /* Initialize SPI for IMU communication */
    result = cyhal_spi_init(&spi, CYBSP_SPI_MOSI, CYBSP_SPI_MISO, CYBSP_SPI_CLK, NC, NULL, 8, CYHAL_SPI_MODE_00_MSB, false);
    if(CY_RSLT_SUCCESS != result)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    /* Set SPI frequency to 10MHz */
    result = cyhal_spi_set_frequency(&spi, IMU_SPI_FREQUENCY);
    if(CY_RSLT_SUCCESS != result)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    /* Initialize the chip select line */
    result = cyhal_gpio_init(CYBSP_SPI_CS, CYHAL_GPIO_DIR_OUTPUT, CYHAL_GPIO_DRIVE_STRONG, 1);
    if(CY_RSLT_SUCCESS != result)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    /* Initialize pressure sensor */
    result = cy8ckit_028_sense_init(&i2c_obj, &spi, NULL, NULL, NULL);
    if(CY_RSLT_SUCCESS != result)
    {
        CY_ASSERT(0);
    }

    __enable_irq();

    GUI_Init();

    pressure_sensor = cy8ckit_028_sense_get_pressure_sensor();
    for (;;)
    {
        /* Get the pressure and temperature data and print the results to the OLED display */
        float pressure, temperature;
        xensiv_dps3xx_read(pressure_sensor, &pressure, &temperature);

        GUI_DispStringAt("Pressure: ",0,0);
        GUI_DispFloat(pressure, 7);

        GUI_DispStringAt("Temperature: ", 0, 10);
        GUI_DispFloat(temperature, 7);

        cyhal_system_delay_ms(1000);
    }
}

5. Follow below two steps for [ Rev ** ] revision of the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE only (see kit revision on the box).

   • Exectue bmx160_fix.bash script by adding prebuild command to the Makefile PREBUILD list:

   PREBUILD+=$(SEARCH_sensor-orientation-bmx160)/bmx160_fix.bash "$(SEARCH_BMI160_driver)/bmi160_defs.h"
   

   • Define CHIP_ID = UINT8_C(0xD8) to the Makefile DEFINES list:

   DEFINES+=BMI160_CHIP_ID=UINT8_C\(0xD8\)
   

6. Build the application and program the kit.
