Purpose
This tutorial give an example of using a I2C bargraph device. The device is a Bi-Color 24 Bargraph from Adafruit Learning System.
Prerequisites
- A STMicroelectronics discovery kit with STM32F407VG MCU, order code STM32F407-DISC1 (replaces STM32F4DISCOVERY).
- USB 2.0 male to micro USB cable (supplied with evaluation kit).
- A full installation of an Hyperpanel OS release on a linux based PC including tools for flashing and debugging. This tutorial requires release V30.01.01 for MB1225 or higher. Hyperpanel OS releases are available for free in the “Download” section of the website.
- A Lunix PC with ARM gcc compiler, ARM gdb debugger and minicom installed.
- A text editor to edit or modify source codes (We are using vi in our demo).
- A Bi-Color (Red/Green) 24-Bar Bargraph Backpack Kit available at Adafruit.
Software release
Hyperpanel OS V30.01.01 for MB1225 (hypv300101.zip) or higher, available in the Download section.
Binary file
Installation
– On www.tutorial.hyperpanel.com, select Download from the main menu.
– Download “Hyperpanel OS V30.01.01 for MB1225” or higher release for the MB1225 kit.
– On your PC Linux, copy and unzip the zip file in your root directory, for example:
cp hypv300101.zip /home/hyperpanel cd /home/hyperpanel unzip hypv300101.zip
– With a text editor, update hhome environment variable in the stm32m7 file:
cd /home/hyperpanel/hypv300101/shells vi stm32m7
Update the first line, according to your root directory:
export hhome=/home/hyperpanel/hypv100302
– Save this file and an execute the command:
source stm32m7
– From this tutorial, use the button “Binary file” to download the zip file containing the binary. Unzip this file:
unzip hpos-tuto414-bin.zip
– Copy this binary file in HyperPanelOS release:
cp bargraph.bin ~/hypv300101/boards/stm32m7/exe
– Connect the LED bargraph to the MB1225. The Arduino Uno Rev3 Connector CN9 is ready to use as followed:
BARGRAPH MB997D SIGNAL WIRE SCL <----------> CN9/10/PB8 /D15 I2C_SCL Yellow SDA <----------> CN9/ 9/PB9 /D14 I2C_SDA Green VCC <----------> CN9/ 8/AVDD/AVDD Power Red GND <----------> CN9/ 7/GND /GND Ground Black
– Connect the MB1225 board to a USB port on your Linux PC using the USB cable supplied with the board. Wait for a window to appear, then close it.
– Open a Terminal window and run minicom to get access to the Hyperpanel OS serial port and to the application messages:
minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200
– Open another Terminal window on your computer and enter the following commands:
cd ~/hypv300101/shells source stm32m7 exe
– Upload software to the board:
hgdb romload stm32m7 bargraph
You should see messages similar to these:

Wait until the flashing operation is complete (approx. 30 seconds). The last message (bargraph.elf: No such file or directory) is normal.
– You can now press on the reset button (black button) of the MB1255. Hyperpanel OS and the application will start. The bargraph turn on / off every second with a typical bargraph animation. Every second, a clock counter is displayed on serial port.
To go further
If you want to edit the source code, write modifications, compile, link, etc., here’s how to do it :
- From this tutorial, use the button “Source code” to download the zip file containing the source file. Unzip this file:
unzip hpos-tuto414-source.zip
- Copy this source code in HyperPanelOS release:
cp bargraph.c ~/hypv300101/user/stm32app
- Copy the link file in Hyperpanel release:
cp bargraph.lst ~/hypv300101/boards/stm32m7/exe
- You can edit and make any modifications you want in the source file. For exemple you can remove or modifiy the dummy animation temporisation.
cd ~/hypv300101/user/stm32app vi bargraph.c
- Save the source file.
- Compile the source file:
cd ~/hypv300101/user/stm32app cmm bargraph
- Make a link edit to create a new executable:
exe lhypos bargraph
- You can now upload this new binary to the board, in the same way as in the previous Installation chapter.
Description
- The app gives an “how to use” example of an I2C device in “write” mode. The I2C driver available with HyperPanel OS support several controller/buses in parallel. In the case of the MB1255, ther is only one bus.
- The Bi-Color 24-Bar Bargraph Kit include one single I2C device. There are two bi-color bargraphs on this Kit. Each module has 12 red and 12 green LEDs, for a total of 24 LEDs controlled as a 1×12 matrix.
- The I2C driver support IO lists, including waits, conditionnal jumps and intricated loops. The driver provides two software interfaces both ease of use and versatility: Blocking and non blocking interfaces. We use here the blocking interface (i2c_write()).
- This example is a simple use of the bargraph with one device. But because I2C is a bus, we can connect sevreral I2C device and use them in the app.
