Remote Viewing of Temperature with FRDMKL25Z and TCN75A on Basic I/O Shield
Posted on April 30, 2014
Introduction
The Freescale FRDMKL25Z board is an ultralowcost development platform for Kinetis L
•
Series KL1x (KL14/15) and KL2x (KL24/25) MCUs built on ARM® Cortex™M0+ processor. Features include
•
easy access to MCU I/O, batteryready, lowpower operation, a standardbased form factor with expansion board
options and a builtin debug interface for flash programming and runcontrol. The FRDMKL25Z is supported by
•
a range of Freescale and thirdparty development software, including mbed platform.
The Digilent Basic I/O shield is an input/output expansion board designed for use with chipKIT
•
microcontroller boards such as the Uno32™ and the Max32™.
•
The Basic I/O Shield provides simple digital input devices such as switches and buttons, and digital output devices
•
such as discrete LEDs and high current open FET drivers. It provides more advanced devices such as an I2C
•
EEPROM, an I2C temperature sensor, and organic LED graphic display. A potentiometer is also provided for use
as an analog input device. The Basic I/O Shield is designed to the same form factor as the Uno32 board, but is
also usable with the FRDMKL25Z board.
Remote viewing is an interesting proposition that we will dwell upon here with these two boards, and some extra
material, such as a Bluetooth module and, at the end, Bluetoothenabled phones.
• •
PreRequirements:
•
You must have already done:
•
Installation in Windows of your FRDMKL25Z board.
Tested FRDMKL25Z with simple exercise such as blinking the RGB LED on it
•
If you done neither of the two above exercises, you ought to follow the introduction“Getting Started with mbed
and Freescale FRDMKL25Z board”. •
•
Also you must have done temperature measurement with temperatur sensor TCN75A on Digilent Basic I/O shield.
•
Necessary material • •
•
You need the following boards:

•
• •
•
•
•
•
•
And Bluetooth adapter, Buletooth module and power supply unit:
•
• •
•
•

– Freescale FRDMKL25Z board
– Digilent BASIC I/O shield
•
– Power supply unit (MB102)for the set up
– Mobile Processing software • •
– Class I or II Bluetooth adapter •
– JYMCU Bluetooth Module (available from Aliatron)
Procedures: •
•
1 – Preparing our programming setup
The following connections will allow us to program the mbed board, and to prepare it
•
•
FRDM KL25Z board is going to communicate with Microchip’s TCN75A temperature sensor on Digilent Basic
I/O Shield.
2. Connect your mbedenabled FRDMKL25Z to your PC
Use the USB lead to connect your FRDMKL25Z to a PC, using the USB female connector labelled OpenSDA.
The status light will come on, indicating FRDMKL25Z has power. After a few seconds of activity, your PC will
recognise the mbed Microcontroller as a standard USB drive.
3. Visit the mbed website to get logged in, and to compile
The URL for mbed website is:
http://mbed.org
Log in with your normal username and password. This will give you access to the website, tools, libraries and
documentation.
4. Open the mbed Compiler
Open the IOShield_Temp program and edit main.cpp (that you may have already written before)
Write the following code (just copy and paste):
1 int main() {
2 char cmd[2];
3 while (1) {
4 cmd[0] = 0x01;
5 cmd[1] = 0x00;
6 i2c.write(addr, cmd, 2);
7
8 cmd[0] = 0x00;
9 i2c.write(addr, cmd, 1);
10 i2c.read(addr, cmd, 2);
11
12 float tmpC = (float((cmd[0]<<8)|cmd[1]) / 256.0);
13 float tmpF = (float(9.0*tmpC)/5.0 + 32.0);
14 // convert Centigrade into Fahrenheit
15 pc.printf("%.2f", tmpC);
16 pc.printf(",");
17 // comma (,) separator necessary for string splitting
18 pc.printf("%.2f", tmpF);
19 pc.printf("");
20 // somehow this extra line makes the reading more stable
21 wait(0.5); // wait 0.5s
22 }
23 }
Before anything else save your code.
5. Compile and Download the Program
To compile the program, click the Compile button in the top toolbar.
This will compile the program source code files within the program folder.
And a binary program will be created.
After a successful compile, you will get a Success! message in the compiler output, and the download dialog
will pop up to Save the binary program, or it will be automatically downloaded to your PC’s
default Downloads folder. If you can Save, save it directly to FRDMKL25Z board (acting as a drive), otherwise
drag and drop, or cut and paste into your FRDMKL25Z.
If everything goes well, FRDMKL25Z is programmed. Power reset your FRDMKL25Z.
6. Display the temperature on Terminal of PC
Launch a Terminal program such as Putty, or Termite. Ensure that the configuration settings of the port are
Baud Rate 9600, Data bits 8, Stop bits 1, Parity none, Flow Controlnone. My port number is COM23 as can be
seen (Termite’s port settings).
My FRDMKL25Z board is connected to port 23. The port number can be seen at Device Manager of your
Windows.
You will see immediately the temperature values being displayed:
We are now ready to add the Bluetooth connection.
7. Final setup
Connect up the boards, JYMCU Bluetooth module, and power supply as shown:
My actual set up looks like as the photo shows:
Note: the power supply and the way to connect the voltage supply is just my proposition. You can connect power
supply in other ways.
Once the set up is powered you will see a blue LED blinking on your JYMCU module.
Basic I/O shield must be installed on top of FRDMKL25Z.
8 – Bluetooth installation in your PC
You must have your bluetooth adapter duly installed in your PC. My PC’s Bluetooth Sweex adapter shows in my
sytem tray a bluetooth symbol. After activating bluetooth, I have the option to find the local bluetooth
connections:
Do a search, and eventually you will find HC06 (default name of JYMCU module, a name that can be changed if
required):
Next, we will connect to JYMCU bluetooth module (found in my PC in COM31):
You will need to introduce the password which is ‘1234’:
I have blurred the MAC address of my bluetooth module. After introducing the password, click the OK button. You
will see HC06 connection as paired.
We next connect HC06 to the serial port of your PC (in my case it is COM31):
The HC06 icon will now change to green:
9) Display the temperature on Terminal of PC
We are ready to run the Terminal program. Ensure that the configuration settings of the port are Baud
Rate 9600, Data bits 8, Stop bits 1, Parity none, Flow Control none. My port number is correct (in my case it is
COM31). The result will be displayed as:
Having tested remote readings of temperature, we are now ready to write Apps for Bluetoothenabled cellphones
that will read the temperatures.
10) Display the temperatures on cellphones
The aim now is to display the temperature in a convenient way on:
– Android phone / tablet
– Blackberry phone
a) For Android, I have written code on MIT’s App Inventor Classic. The code is based on one written by kerimil
at Instructables’ website.
I have modified kirimil’s code to read the incoming continuing string, and to split it into two variables, and made
other minor adjustments, and given the project new name TempMon. It is beyond the aims of this tutorial to teach
how to write code for App Inventor. There is ample teaching material on the Web, if you are interested.
So, if you want to write code, or modify, or even import, I have made it available on Bitbucket kept at Bitbucket,
an unlimited free private repositories’ site. You can download the zip file, and upload to App Inventor Classic’s
website. Click here to download the code.
The Android App, TempMonitor.apk, can be downloaded, if you do not want to write code. It is again available at
at Bitbucket repository. Click here to download it.
I assume you know how to upload, and to install an Android app. Once installed you will need to launch the App,
but before that you need to enable Bluetooth in your Android phone, and to pair the JYMCU module to your
Android phone.
Next pair JYMCU after searching for it, by pressing onto HC06, and choosing to pair.
Introduce 1234 to pair, and click OK
You will see that JYMCU (named as HC06) is paired:
Now you are ready to launch the App which will be in your Android’s Apps folder:
You will be greeted with following screen:
Click Choose device to connect to button, in next screen, click onto MAC address of your HC06 (I have blurred
the MAC Address of my device).
On clicking, you will see the first screen on top and you will see that the device is connected, and the temperature
will be displayed in ºC and ºF
You can hear the temperature, by clicking Say temperature button.
b) For Blackberry (not BB10, but previous ones with Java OS – mine is Blackberry 9900) I have written code
in Mobile Processing. f you do not know how to write Blackberry Apps in Mobile Processing, I suggest you follow
my tutorial published here in this blog Write a Drawing App “myArtwork” for Blackberry with Social Networking
Sharing Capability. You will need Mobile Processing, that you can download from Mobile Processing website.
You’ll also need a slightly patched Mobile Processing Bluetooth library:mobileprocessingbluetoothpatched.zip.
In the “libraries” directory of the Mobile Processing application, move the existing “bluetooth” library directory
out of the way and unzip the above zipfile in its place.
The processing sketch is as follows:
1 import processing.bluetooth.*;
2 import processing.phone.*;
3
4 Bluetooth bt; //new bt device
5 Service[] services;
6
7 PFont font;
8
9 int state;
10 String msg;
11 String DEGREE = "\u00b0"; //to display correctly degrees symbol
12 Client c;
13
14 final int STATE_START = 0; //different states, similiar to events.
15 final int STATE_FIND = 1; //find devices
16 final int STATE_HOST = 2;
17 final int STATE_PLAY = 3; //once connected to device
18
19 byte[] inBuffer = new byte[11]; //store the bytes read from mBed in array.
20 //For the temperature sensor, there are only 11 digits
21
22 int counter;
23
24 void setup() {
25 font = loadFont();
26 textFont(font);
27 bt = new Bluetooth(this, Bluetooth.UUID_SERIALPORT);
28
29 counter = 1;
30 }
31
32 void draw() {
33 background(255);
34
35 if (state == STATE_START) {
36 fill(0);
37 textAlign(LEFT);
37 textAlign(LEFT);
38 text("Welcome to mBed Bluetooth TempMon.\n\nFind device...\nPre ss any key", 2,
39 }
40 else if (state == STATE_FIND) {
41 fill(0);
42 textAlign(LEFT);
43 if (services == null) {
44 text("Looking for SPP device...\n\n" + msg, 2, 2, width ‐ 4, he ight ‐ 4);
45 }
46 else {
47 String list = "SPP device found\n\n";
48 for (int i = 0, length = length(services); i < length; i++) {
49 list += i + ". " + services[i].device.address + "\n"; //this will list
50 }
51 text(list, 2, 2, width ‐ 4, height ‐ 4);
52 }
53 }
54 else if (state == STATE_PLAY) {
55 c.readBytes(inBuffer); //Assigning assign the readBytes data into the inBuffer array for st
56 String inB2 = new String(inBuffer); //change the byte values into strings data int chars =
57 String[] dat = split(inB2, ','); // parse comma‐separated number string into numbers
58 if (inBuffer != null) {
59 String data = dat[0] + DEGREE + "C / " + dat[1] + DEGREE + "F" ;
60 text("Local Temperature:\n" + data, 2, 2, width ‐ 4, height ‐ 4); //draw the mess
61 }
62 text("Local Temperature:\n", 2, 2, width ‐ 4, height ‐ 4);
63 }
64 }
65
66 void libraryEvent(Object library, int event, Object data) {
67 if (library == bt) {
68 switch (event) {
69 case Bluetooth.EVENT_DISCOVER_DEVICE:
70 msg = "Found device at: " + ((Device) data).address + "...";
71 break;
72 case Bluetooth.EVENT_DISCOVER_DEVICE_COMPLETED:
73 msg = "Found " + length((Device[]) data) + " devices, looking for service...
74 break;
75 case Bluetooth.EVENT_DISCOVER_SERVICE:
76 msg = "Found SPP service on " + ((Service[]) data)[0].device.address + "...&
77 break;
78 case Bluetooth.EVENT_DISCOVER_SERVICE_COMPLETED:
79 services = (Service[]) data;
80 msg = "Search complete.";
81 break;
82 case Bluetooth.EVENT_CLIENT_CONNECTED:
83 c = (Client) data;
84 state = STATE_PLAY;
85 break;
86 }
87 }
88 }
89
90 void keyPressed() {
91 if (state == STATE_START) {
92 //if any key is pressed.
93 services = null; // it will begin the search
94 bt.find(); //bt.find goes through the whole process of bluetooth searching
95 state = STATE_FIND;
96 msg = "Looking for devices...";
97 }
98 else if (state == STATE_FIND) { //this section will help connect to which device is found
99 if (services != null) {
100 if ((key >= '0') && (key <= '9')) {
101 int i = key ‐ '0';
101 int i = key ‐ '0';
102 if (i < length(services)) {
103 msg = "connecting...";
104 c = services[i].connect();
105 state = STATE_PLAY;
106 msg = "ready";
107 }
108 }
109 }
110 }
111 }
112 void destroy() {
113 bt.stop();
114 }
115
116 catch (java.io.IOException err)
117 {
118 }
119 catch (java.lang.SecurityException e)
120 {
121 }
122 catch (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException iae)
123 {
124 }
125 catch (IOException ioe)</pre>
126 {
127 }
You will now save the project with a name such as TempMon with File>Save As in the main dropdown menu.
Before proceeding, you will create an Icon for our App. It needs to be 62×62 pixels. You can download here an
icon we have designed, together with pde file of above code. The file is hosted by Bitbucket. Bitbucket offers
unlimited public and private repositories, and it is free for small teams. In your PC’s My Documents >
MobileProcessing >TempMon folder paste data folder that includes icon image
file icon.png and TempMon.pde sketch (Mobile Processing and other Processing codes are known as
‘sketches’).
Export as MIDlet with File> Export MIDlet:
The MIDlet will be created and your PC´s My Documents > MobileProcessing >TempMon
> MIDlet folder (will open automatically to show TempMon.jad, TempMon.jar and My Documents >
MobileProcessing >TempMon.java files:
Note: If you care to check TempMon folder you will also see a new folder proguard.ProGuard is included
in Mobile Processing to make the apps smaller, and more efficient jar files. We will not use the jad and jar files
in this folder.
We are now ready to copy TempMon.jad and TempMon.jar into the Blackberry.
After connecting your Blackberry to your PC with USB cable, run Blackberry Desktop software and
choose Files:
Click the Start button. You will see the next screen:
In your PCs folder MIDlet folder select TempMon.jad and TempMon.jar files:
And with right click of your mouse button Copy these files, and paste them into theBlackberry Desktop folder
you have just opened:
Both files will be now in your Blackberry phone’s documents folder.
NOTE: If you are too lazy to write code you can install jad and jad files found here (after unzipping) into
your Blackberry as shown. Note jad and jar files are hosted at Bitbucket, a free and unlimited public and private
repositories hosting site.
Now disconnect the USB cable between your Blackberry and your PC. In your Blackberry go to All group of
folders, and choose Applications folder:
Open the folder, and select Files folder:
Open the Files folder and navigate to the documents folder. In my Blackberry, I found it in File Folders >
Device > home > user. In documents folder within user folder, you will
find TempMon.jad and TempMon.jar . Select TempMon.jad and click on it:
You will see the next screen:
Click the Download button. Our app will start to be installed. You will get next a warning window that the
application does not contain a signature, just click Yes and let the App be installed. If successful, you will be
invited to immediately Run it.
Once installed, the App’s icon will be as show below:
Make sure your Blackberry is paired to HC06 (the name of JYMCU Bluetooth module). The password is 1234.
Run the App, and if everything is alright you will see the following screen:
Conclusions
We have achieved remote temperature viewing of temperature read by our Freescale FRDMKL25Z
board from the temperature sensor Microchip TCN75A on Digilent Basic I/O shield.
We have used App Inventor Classic and Mobile Processing to read remotely temperature on two
smartphones, respectively Android and Blackberry.
I shall appreciate any comments, and suggestions. I will also appreciate if you point out any errors or omissions
in this tutorial.
