RGB LED Using Accelerometer and ARM

Hey Folks,
In this tutorial, we will learn, how to change the colour of RGB LED using accelerometer of the ARM (FRDM-KL25Z).

INTRODUCTION
    • The FRDM-KL25Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis L Series KL1x (KL14/15) and KL2x (KL24/25) MCUs built on ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor. 
    • The FRDM-KL25Z has been designed by NXP in collaboration with mbed for prototyping all sorts of devices, especially those requiring the size and price point offered by Cortex-M0+ and the power of USB Host and Device.
    • The FRDM-KL25Z is supported by a range of NXP and third-party development software.
    • It is packaged as a development board with connectors to break out to stripboard and breadboard and includes a built-in USB FLASH programmer.

             FEATURES
    • NXP KL25Z Kinetis KL2x MCU (MKL25Z128VLK4)
      • High-performance ARM® Cortex™-M0+ Core
      • 48MHz, 16KB RAM, 128KB FLASH
      • USB (Host/Device)
      • SPI (2)
      • I2C (2)
      • UART (3)
      • PWM (TPM)
      • ADC (16 bit)
      • DAC (1x 12bit)
      • Touch Sensor
      • GPIO (66)
               So now we are familiar with the FRDM-KL25Z let’s use it.

   Components Required:
    • FRDM-KL25Z board
    • Data Cable (USB Mini-B)
    • MMA8451Q - 3-axis accelerometer (On Board)

              
Code:

#include "mbed.h"
#include "MMA8451Q.h"

#if   defined (TARGET_KL25Z) || defined (TARGET_KL46Z)
  PinName const SDA = PTE25;
  PinName const SCL = PTE24;
#elif defined (TARGET_KL05Z)
  PinName const SDA = PTB4;
  PinName const SCL = PTB3;
#elif defined (TARGET_K20D50M)
  PinName const SDA = PTB1;
  PinName const SCL = PTB0;
#else
  #error TARGET NOT DEFINED
#endif

#define MMA8451_I2C_ADDRESS (0x1d<<1)

int main(void)
{
    MMA8451Q acc(SDA, SCL, MMA8451_I2C_ADDRESS);
    PwmOut rled(LED1);
    PwmOut gled(LED2);
    PwmOut bled(LED3);

    printf("MMA8451 ID: %d\n", acc.getWhoAmI());

    while (true) {
        float x, y, z;
        x = abs(acc.getAccX());
        y = abs(acc.getAccY());
        z = abs(acc.getAccZ());
        rled = 1.0f - x;
        gled = 1.0f - y;
        bled = 1.0f - z;
        wait (0.1f);
        printf("X: %1.2f, Y: %1.2f, Z: %1.2f\n", x, y, z);
    }
}

After dumping the code the output is shown in the video below:-

Getting Started with Arduino

What is Arduino? Arduino is basically an open source electronics platform which is having easy to use hardware and software implementation. It’s a micro-controller interfaced with other vital components like programmer ICs, voltage regulator etc. With the help of this, we can interface various input (sensors) and output (LED's) components. Why Arduino? Arduino is not just a micro-controller it is also interfaced with several other components which make the job of the user very simple. Arduino Uno Pin-Out How Arduino works? An input of 5v is given to the board using a USB cable (not necessary) through a laptop or any other convenient power source. Microcontrollers are usually programmed through a programmer unless we have a firmware in our microcontroller that allows installing new firmware without any external programmer. This is bootloader. All the controllers present in UNO are from ATMEL Semiconductor (Now acquired by Microchip). We hav...
