I have finally got to the point that my Weather Station project can sit on the window shelf of my office, and show me the temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure on the attached eInk display. weather station project: it is warm, cloudy and low pressure outside In this blog I’m going to focus on driving that display.

So while it is easy to start with a C++ project, most vendor provided example or tutorial project are C projects. So how can I transform such project to C++?

The MCUXpresso Clocks, Pins and Peripheral Config tools were used to get it running. It’s all for my Weather Station project that I’ve been working on during these months of lockdown. It is starting to take shape – as you can see from the photograph: From the left: Mikroe Weather Click, OKdo E1, Mikroe eInk Click. Now I really need to start reading and writing to the BME280 sensor, and that means using the I2C driver in the lpcxpresso55s69 SDK. And so this week I’ll provide a forensic examination of the most commonly-used I2C function call.

The ANSI C/C++ standard defines the __LINE__ and __FILE_ preprocessor macros for this. But what about the project name , if it is a release or debug build, the microcontroller used or other things like the operating system which was used to build the binary? Target Chip Name This (and even more) can be easily provided by Eclipse to the C/C++ application being built with CDT.

And in addition to improving reliability, the technique can be used to schedule any event to occur ‘sometime in the future’. It uses the MicroTick (UTICK) timer found on the NXP LPC55S69 microcontroller, and could be applied to any device with a simple timer. The MicroTick timer is an elegant, thing of beauty. But there is not a driver example built into the lpcxpresso55s69 SDK, and I believe that the timer is not widely used. That means we need a tutorial!
