UVA Click is a compact add-on board used to detect solar UV index. This board features the GUVA-C32SM, an ultraviolet light sensor capable of measuring UV index between 0 to 14 from Genicom Co., Ltd. It contains the GaN-based chip die, amplifiers, ADC, digital control logic, and I2C interface circuit to measure UVA volumes, working in the spectral range of 220-370nm. The GUVA-C32M can acquire the intensity of UVA, respectively, and outputs digital count according to each intensity.

We provide a library for the UVA Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for UVA Click driver.
uva_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void uva_cfg_setup ( uva_cfg_t *cfg );
uva_init
Initialization function.
err_t uva_init ( uva_t *ctx, uva_cfg_t *cfg );
uva_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function.
err_t uva_default_cfg ( uva_t *ctx );
uva_read_data
This function reads the raw UVA data from registers.
err_t uva_read_data ( uva_t *ctx, uint16_t *uva_data );
uva_soft_reset
This function executes the soft reset command.
err_t uva_soft_reset ( uva_t *ctx );
uva_write_register
This function writes a data byte to the selected register by using I2C serial interface.
err_t uva_write_register ( uva_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t data_in );
This example demonstrates the use of UVA Click board by reading and displaying the UVA data measurement results.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and applies the Click default configuration.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
uva_cfg_t uva_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
*/
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
uva_cfg_setup( &uva_cfg );
UVA_MAP_MIKROBUS( uva_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == uva_init( &uva, &uva_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
if ( UVA_ERROR == uva_default_cfg ( &uva ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
for ( ; ; );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Reads the UVA data measurements every 100ms and displays the results on the USB UART.
void application_task ( void )
{
uint16_t uva_data = 0;
if ( UVA_OK == uva_read_data ( &uva, &uva_data ) )
{
log_printf ( &logger, " UVA data: %u \r\n\n", uva_data );
Delay_ms ( 100 );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.UVA
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
