RF Meter click Released

RF Meter click is a radio frequency power measurement device covering a frequency span from 1 MHz to 8 GHz over a 60 dB range (approximately). It enables monitoring and measuring frequency levels to ensure proper functioning and leak detection. An external antenna acquires the signal, which is then processed by the AD8318 logarithmic detector. The resulting voltage is fed into an MCP3201 ADC. For communicating with the target board MCU, the mikroBUS SPI interface is used (CS, SCK, MISO pins), with additional TEMP OUT pin.

RTC6 click Released

RTC6 click carries Microchip's MCP79410 Real-Time Clock/Calendar IC with built-in 64 bytes of battery-backed SRAM an additional 1 Kbit of EEPROM. 64 bits of protected EEPROM requires an unlock sequence to be unlocked, which makes it suitable for storing a unique ID or other critical information. RTC6 click tracks hours, minutes, seconds, days, months, years and weekdays, with leap year compensation until the year 2399. The clock frequency is derived from an onboard 32.768KHz crystal oscillator. Backup power is supplied by a coin-cell Lithium battery. RTC6 communicates with the target board MCU through the mikroBUS I2C interface (SCL, SDA) along with a multifunction pin (MFP, in place of default mikroBUS INT pin). The multifunctional pin (MFP) can be configured as an alarm, a square wave frequency output, or a general purpose output. The board is designed to use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.

Angle click Released

Angle click is a precise Hall-effect angle sensing click board that can be used to measure the rotational angle of the magnetic field in the X-Y plane above it (parallel to the surface of the click), through the whole range of 360°. The click yields very precise results for both off-axis and axis operation, which make it a perfect choice for precise measuring of the rotational angle in a wide range of different high-speed applications, for example in the automotive industry: electronic power steering, transmission, torsion bar, or the motor shaft rotation. Angle click features the A1335 Hall-effect angle sensing IC, made by Allegro MicroSystems LLC. This IC measures the magnetic field angular vector, based on the actual physical reading of the integrated Hall-effect sensor, as well as the user selected parameters, such as the digital filtering, dynamic range and scaling. The integrated 32bit MCU ensures that the processed data is delivered with a minimal delay and it has enough power to provide the complex processing of the input values so that the measurement remains fast, precise and linear.
