Altitude
1. Introduction
Altitude click is an accessory board in
™
mikroBUS
form factor. It's a compact
™
and easy solution for adding altimeter
to your design. It features MPL3115A2
precision pressure/temperature sensor
which also provides altitude data. Altitude
click communicates with the target
™
board microcontroller via mikroBUS
™
(SCL, SDA), INT and CS lines. The board is
designed to use 3.3V power supply only.
LED diode (GREEN) indicates the presence
of power supply.
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 pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.

2. Soldering the headers
3
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

4. Essential features
Altitude click
employs a MEMS pressure sensor to provide
accurate pressure/altitude (20-bit) and
temperature (12-bit) data. Resolution is
down to 30 cm (1.5 Pa). The
is capable of processing internal data
automatically with data acquisition and
compensation. This makes altitude sensor
an ideal choice for smart phones/tablets,
personal electronics altimetry, GPS systems,
weather station equipment and many more.
