Flame click Released

Flame click is a fire detection solution. It carries a PT334-6B silicon phototransistor that's covered in black epoxy and therefore sensitive only to infrared light. To use it as a fire alarm, set up the exact detection threshold through the onboard potentiometer (once reached, the click will send an interrupt to the target board MCU through the mikroBUS INT pin). Othewise the sensor can also output a continuous analog signal through the mikroBUS AN pin. Flame click can use both a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.

Rotary click (Encoder) Released

Rotary click carries a 15-pulse incremental rotary encoder with detents, surrounded by a ring of 16 green LEDs. It's a perfect solution for adding a precision input knob to your design. The encoder outputs A and B signals (out of phase to each other) on mikroBus PWM and AN lines; the knob also acts as a push-button which sends an interrupt to the target board MCU via the mikroBus INT line. The LED ring is controlled through SPI lines (CS, SCK, MISO, MOSI and RST). Rotary click can be used with either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.

Quail Board Released

Quail is an STM32-powered development solution for building hardware prototypes with click boards and C# managed code. It brings together click boards and Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework for embedded devices (NETMF). Write code for your Quail projects in Microsoft Visual Studio (free in the community edition); drivers for individual click boards are provided by the MikroBUS.NET team. Hardware-wise, Quail has 4 mikroBUS sockets for click board connectivity, along with 24 screw terminals for connecting additional electronics and two USB ports (one for programming, the other for external mass storage). The board runs on a 5V power supply.

clicker 2 for FT90X Released

clicker 2 is a battery-powered click board with two mikroBUS sockets on board allowing you to take advantage of the huge potential of click boards. This clicker 2 is powered by FT900, a 32-bit FT32 core MCU that operates at 100MHz, has 256kB of flash, 64kB on-chip data memory, and 256kB shadow program memory. The shadow program memory is where the code is executed from, enabling the MCU to work with zero wait states at 100MHz — making it faster than many MCUs with higher clock rates. The onboard LTC 3586-1 IC will provide 3.3V or 5V to the clicks. It turns the USB port into a battery charger. For convenience, clicker 2 for FT900 features a reset button and an ON/OFF switch (you can also connect an external ON/OFF switch). clicker 2 has the same pocket-size form factor and the same pair of 1x26 connection pads as mikromedia boards. This makes it compatible with mikromedia shields letting you expand your device any way you want.

DHT22 click (Temperature / Humidity Sensor) Released

DHT22 click is a temperature and humidity measurement board carrying the sensor of the same name. It's a low cost reliable solution that communicates with the target board microcontroller through a single Serial Data Line. The sensor can detect temperatures between - 40 and 80 degrees centigrade with a half a degree precision. The relative humidity measurement from 0 - 100% is accurate within 2%. DHT22 has two jumpers. One for choosing between two mikroBUS pins (CS or INT) for communicating with the target board microcontroller. Another for setting up the power supply voltage either at 3.3V or 5V.

GSM3 click Released

GSM3 click carries the SIM800H, which is a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900MHz) GSM/GPRS module that transmits voice, sms and data information. Utilizing the module's full potential, GSM3 click also has an audio input/output connection pad (for a microphone and earphones, which can also be used as an FM antenna). The SIM800H also supports Bluetooth, so a 2.4 GHz active antenna is also included on the board. Two indication LEDs signal the operating and network status of the module. The board uses a 5V power supply, but can communicate at either 3.3V or 5V voltage levels (selection by SMD jumper). An LED diode indicates the presence of power supply.
