​

Note: You could remove the weather_example.c, fan_example.c, weather_example.h, fan_example.h, eink_bundle_example.c, and eink_bundle_example.h from the project by right click and select Remove from Project since these files are not used in this project. This would save some application memory space.

Step 6.4: Add ble source files

  • Unzip the downloaded ZIP file pic32cmmc_smart_appliance_control.zip
  • From the unzipped folder /pic32cmmc_smart_appliance_control/dev_files/pic32cm_mc00_cnano, copy the folder ble to the folder firmware/src/ under your application project
  • In the project explorer, right-click on folder Header Files and add a subfolder ble by selecting Add Existing Items from Folders….
header_add.png

Step 6.5: Map generic Macros of Click routines

  • Copy the Generic Macros used in the Fan Click and eINK bundle Click routines
  • From the unzipped folder fan/firmware/src/click_routines, open the file click_interface.h copy the Click routine interfaces/resources Macro Declarations as highlighted in Figure 41

Figure 41
  • And paste the click_interface.h in the folder firmware/src/click_routines under your application project.

Figure 42
  • From the unzipped folder eink_bundle/firmware/src/click_routines, open the file click_interface.h copy the Click routine interfaces resources Macro Declarations as highlighted in Figure 43

Figure 43
  • And paste in the click_interface.h in the folder firmware/src/click_routines under your application project
macro2.png
Figure 44
  • Map the generic macros used in the Weather Click, Fan Click, and eINK Click bundle routines to the Harmony PLIB APIs of the PIC32CM MC00 MCU based on where the Click boards are placed on the mikroBUS sockets on the Curiosity Nano Base for Click boards.

Fan Click API Mapping

  • In this demo, the Fan Click board is placed on the mikroBUS socket #2, which corresponds to the SERCOM0 I2C peripheral to communicate with the Click board. In the click_interface.h, map the generic Fan Click APIs to SERCOM0 as shown in Figure 45.

Figure 45

Weather Click routine API Mapping.

  • In this demo, the Weather Click board is placed on the mikroBUS socket #3, which corresponds to the SERCOM0 I2C peripheral to communicate with the Click board. In the click_interface.h, map the generic Weather APIs to SERCOM0 as shown in Figure 46.

Figure 46

eINK Bundle Click routine API Mapping

  • In this demo, the eINK Click board is placed on the mikroBUS socket #1, which corresponds to the SERCOM1 SPI peripheral to communicate with the Click board. In the click_interface.h, map the generic eINK Click APIs to SERCOM1 as shown in Figure 47.
