AD5245
Arduino library for I2C single channel digital potentiometer AD5245.
The library is experimental and not tested with hardware yet.
Description
The AD5245 is a single channel digital potentiometer which comes in 5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, 100 kΩ and can be set in 256 steps.
Indicative step size.
| value | step size |
|---|---|
| 5 kΩ | 19.53 Ω |
| 10 kΩ | 39.06 Ω |
| 50 kΩ | 195.3 Ω |
| 100 kΩ | 390.6 Ω |
An important property of the device is that it defaults to the mid-scale position at startup. One can use AD5245_MIDPOINT == 128 to reset to the mid-scale position.
0.3.0 Breaking change
Version 0.3.0 introduced a breaking change. You cannot set the pins in begin() any more. This reduces the dependency of processor dependent Wire implementations. The user has to call Wire.begin() and can optionally set the Wire pins before calling begin().
Related
This library is based upon the AD524X library, and triggered by this issue:
I2C address
The AD5245 has one address line to configure the I2C address.
| Address(dec) | Address(Hex) | AD0 |
|---|---|---|
| 44 | 0x2C | GND |
| 45 | 0x2D | +5V |
The maximum I2C speed is 400 KHz.
Interface
#include AD5245.h"
The library has a number of functions which are all quite straightforward. One can get / set the value of the potentiometer.
- AD5245(uint8_t address, TwoWire *wire = &Wire) constructor
- bool begin() initializes internals. Returns true on success.
- bool isConnected() See if address set in constructor is on the bus.
- uint8_t reset() sets potentiometer to midpoint = 128. (startup default)
- uint8_t write(uint8_t value) set to value 0 .. 255.
- uint8_t read() read value from cache.
- uint8_t readDevice() read value from device.
- uint8_t shutDown() check datasheet, not tested yet, use at own risk.
Error codes
| define | value |
|---|---|
| AD5245_OK | 0 |
| AD5245_ERROR | 100 |
Operation
The examples show the basic working of the functions.
Future
Must
Should
- sync with AD520X library
- sync with AD524X library
Could
Wont
- midScaleReset() ? AD524X alike ==> user can do write(AD5245_MIDPOINT).
