Mikroe click-snap

“Users can develop their systems in the usual way using peripheral and development boards equipped with the mikroBUS socket,” said the company. “When the concept has been proven and code developed, the part of the board with the specific active peripheral circuitry can be snapped free of the rest of the Click board and used as a system-on-module only marginally larger than the active chip on its own.”

The Click Snap board is ‘Inclinometer 4 Click’, which is designed to measure angles of slope or elevation of an object.

Its active IC is a FXLS8971CF three-axis low-g MEMS accelerometer from NXP Semiconductor with selectable ranges of ±2, 4, 8 or 16g full scale. It has selectable output data rates, motion detection, and a 144byte output data buffer.
