mikroElektronika Adapter click Quick Start Manual

Adapter click

1. Introduction

Adapter Click is an accessory board in
™
mikroBUS
form factor. It's a compact
™
and easy solution for adding mikroBUS™
to IDC10 adapter to your design. It
features 2x5 connection pads and two
jumpers for SPI/I 2 C selection. Adapter
Click communicates with the target board
™
microcontroller via mikroBUS I C (SDA,
™ 2
SCL), SPI (MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS), UART
(RX, TX), INT and PWM lines. The board is
designed to use 3.3V and 5V 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

There are two ways of establishing such
connection: using male or female IDC10
connectors. Both are provided with the
package. You may solder male IDC10 header
on the top side of Adapter Click™ and connect
the add-on board directly or via IDC10 fl at
cable. In some cases, female header socket is
a better choice. Solder it either on the top, or
the bottom side, depending on which one is
more convenient in given circumstances.
