mikroElektronika Pressure click Quick Start Manual

Pressure click
1. Introduction
Pressure Click is an accessory board in
™
mikroBUS
form factor. It's a compact
™
and easy solution for adding pressure
measurement to your design. It features
LPS331AP digital output pressure
sensor. Pressure Click ™ communicates
with the target board microcontroller via
mikroBUS SPI (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS),
™
I C (SDA, SCL) and INT lines. The board
2
is designed to use 3.3V power supply
only. LED diode (GREEN) indicates the
presence of power supply.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board™, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

Turn the board upside down so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in both
soldering pad locations.

Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.
4. Essential features
LPS331AP
Pressure Click ™ with it's
an ultra compact absolute piezoresistive
pressure sensor capable to measure
pressure (260-1260 mbar) or temperature
(-40°C to 80°C) and provide a digital signal
to main board microcontroller. All these
features make this board ideal for indor and
outdor navigations, altimeter or barometer
for portable devices, weather station
equipment, sport watches and many more.
