Air Velocity Click Board™

Product Code: MIKROE-5448

How Does The Air Velocity Click Board™ Work? The Air Velocity Click Board™ is based on the FS3000-1005, a high-performance surface-mount type air velocity module utilizing a MEMS thermopile-based sensor from Renesas. The FS3000-1005 measures the direct local air, which allows the system control to make adjustments quickly. It features a digital output with a 12-bit resolution with a wide operational range of 0-7.2meter/second (0-16.2mph). By providing a closed-loop control, systems can reduce the energy cost of the system. The FS3000-1005 targets low-profile applications and is designed to measure airflow around critical components such as analytic gas monitoring systems, data centers, and air quality systems to detect failures in the fan or blower, fan speed control, or filter clogging. The FS3000-1005 comprises a "solid" thermal isolation technology and silicon-carbide coating to protect it from abrasive wear and water condensation. This Click board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings, supporting a Fast Mode operation up to 400kHz.

It continuously measures in operation, where the data is sent in byte packages. The Air Velocity Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
