CO Toxic Gas Measurement Demo (with EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ)


The ADICUP3029_CN0357 is a toxic gas(CO) detector demo project for the EVAL-ADICUP3029 base board with additional EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ shield, created using the CrossCore Embedded Studio environment.

General Description/Overview


This userguide gives a detailed explanation about ADICUP3029_CN0357 toxic gas (CO) detection project for EVAL-ADICUP3029 base board and EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ gas sensor shield. The gas sensor shield consists of portable gas detector circuit.
The EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ shield circuit provides a potentiostatic circuit for biasing the electrochemical sensor and 16-bit Sigma-Delta ADC. The small currents passing in the sensor is being converted to a voltage that can be read by the ADC. The 16-bit ADC value is received via SPI interface of the EVAL-ADICUP3029 board, where the gas concentration is computed.

The ADICUP3029_CN0357 application configures the necessary components, processes ADC output value and make all necessary conversions in order to provide the gas concentration. A UART interface (38400 baud rate and 8-bits data length) is used to send the results to terminal window: CO Concentration in Parts Per Million(PPM) are the outputs provided in the terminal window.

At the start of the project, the software computes the necessary parameters and configure the digital rheostat(AD5270) . The required parameters are the sensor sensitivity and sensor range. These can be modified by changing the values of the constants SENSOR_SENSITIVITY and SENSOR_RANGE found in the CN0357.h header file of the project. See the “Project Structure” section for more details.

Setting up the hardware


Extremely important to plug in an acceptable power supply to the barrel jack P11 to supply power for the EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ Rev B. The boards will not work if you try only to power it from the DEBUG_USB or the USER_USB. The external power supply is not required for EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ Rev C.
  1. Make sure that Carbon Monoxide sensor CO-AX is properly placed on the EVAL-CN0357 sensor shield
  2. Mount EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ on the EVAL-ADICUP3029 base board such that DIGI1 and DIGI0 of the sensor shield are connected to the P6 and P7 on the EVAL-ADICUP3029 board respectively.
  3. Insert the DEBUG USB in P10 of EVAL-ADICUP3029 base board


The ADuCM3029_demo_cn0357 uses UART connection via P0.10/P0.11 and SPI0 channel of the ADuCM3029 to communicate with EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ board.

Jumper and Switch Settings


  1. Place the jumper on P18 (Arduino Power Rails) on the EVAL-ADICUP3029 base board.
  2. Check the direction of the switch S2 for the proper working of the UART and S5 for USB/Wall power supply.
  3. Place the jumper on P15 on the EVAL-ADICUP3029 base board to power the BLE.

- Similarly the jumper settings for EVAL-CN0357-ARDZ Rev C are as follows


Obtaining the source code


We recommend not opening the project directly, but rather import it into CrossCore Embedded Studio and make a local copy in your workspace.

The source code and include files of the ADICUP3029_CN0357 can be found on Github:

How to use the Tools


The official tool we promote for use with the EVAL-ADICUP3029 is CrossCore Embedded Studio. For more information on downloading the tools and a quick start guide on how to use the tool basics, please check out the Tools Overview page.

Importing


For more detailed instructions on importing this application/demo example into the CrossCore Embedded Studios tools, please view our How to import existing projects into your workspace section.

Debugging


* A debug configuration must be set up for this project in order to have the possibility to program and to debug the ADICUP3029_CN0357 project. To do this, follow the instructions from How to configure the debug session section.

  • Make sure the target board is connected to the computer (via DEBUG USB) and using the tool bar, navigate to the small Debug icon and select the debugging session you created. The application will programmed and the program execution will stop at the beginning of the main() function.
  • Use step-by-step execution or directly run the program.

After completion of the steps above the program will remain written into the system flash and it will run by default every time the board is powered up.


Project Structure


The ADICUP3029_CN0357 project use ADuCM302x C/C++ Project structure.

This project contains: system initialization part - disabling watchdog, enabling clock for peripherals; port configuration for SPI0;SPI2;UART , SPI and UART initialisation, SPI, UART read/write functions, AD7790 control, AD5270 control and gas concentration computation, BLE initialization, packet formation and sending data .

In the src and include folders you will find the source and header files related to CN0357 software application. The Communication.c/h files contain SPI and UART specific data, the AD7790.c/h files contain the ADC control, the AD5270.c/h files contain the rheostat control, the CN0357.c/h files contain ppm computations specific to the gas detector application and the CN0357.c/h .


In the appropriate header files you can configure next parameters:

  • Sensor Range - SENSOR_RANGE - maximum value of the gas conentration (ppm) that can be detected by the electrochemical gas sensor being used (CN0357.h).
    #define SENSOR_RANGE     2000 
  • Sensor Sensitivity - SENSOR_SENSITIVITY - sensitivity (nA/ppm) of the electrochemical sensor being used (CN0357.h).
    #define SENSOR_SENSITIVITY  65
