Using MikroElektronika Libraries with Azure Sphere MT3620 Kit

rsc
rsc over 6 years ago

Does anyone know how to include a MikroElectronika library package file (.mpkg) in a Visual Studio project?

I have some click boards I'd like to use in my project.

 

I can extract the files from the library using the MikroE Package Manager and try and add them manually I guess.

    I think that's what you'll have to do. They don't contain code that can be included directly in a Visual Studio project. It's very likely that the code will require modification anyway.

    I was thinking about devices where there wasn't already example code for the MT3620 - such as the PN7120-based NFC click. On that case the mpkg files are not much use and it seems like it would be easiest to start from sample C code for another processor.

    Thanks Peter, but the Stepper2 click board I want to use isn't on the list.  The boards aren't too complicated, I'll post a solution as I get it working.

    Do you take pull requests if Scott or I get more boards working?

    I would like to use a Click board I already have, the Nano GPS https://www.mikroe.com/nano-gps-click

    From a little checking that should be straightforward UART on tx/rx of the socket.

    I tried the https://github.com/Azure/azure-sphere-samples/tree/master/Samples/UART  demo with a jumper in TX/RX of a click socket and get a loopback at 4800 baud

    no output from the actual GPS board yet. Still reading...

    Looks like that device comes up in hibernation state    https://origingps.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Nano-Hornet-ORG1411-Datasheet-Rev-4.1.pdf

    and will need a pulse on the ON_OFF pad to start, Click Socket pin PWM GPIO0_PWM0, until a WAKEUP is detected on the AN GPIO42_ADC1 .
