AudioAmp click Released
AudioAmp click is a mikroBUS add-on board that functions as a mono audio amplifier. It is driven by a Texas Instruments LM48100Q-Q1 Boomer Mono, 1.3W Audio Power Amplifier IC.
AudioAmp click has one 3.5 mm input jack and next to it screw terminals for connecting output wires to a passive speaker. It has dual audio inputs that can be mixed/multiplexed to the device output. Each input path has its own independent, 32-step volume control. The mixer, volume control and device mode selection are controlled through the mikroBUS I2C interface.
Fault detection is another important feature of LM48100Q. It senses the load conditions, protecting the device during short circuit events, as well as detecting open circuit conditions.
AudioAmp click can work either on a 3.3V or a 5V power supply. There's an additional jumper for selecting the I2C address as well. The open-drain output fault flag. FAULT is routed through the default mikroBUS INT pin (0 indicates that a fault condition has occurred).

Thumbwheel Click Released
Thumbwheel click is a mikroBUS add-on board with a 10-position rotary sprocket connected to a 1-Wire 8-Channel Addressable Switch. The starting position of the switch is marked with a small notch on the PCB above the wheel. Printed numerals from 1 to 10 clearly mark each position.
The thumbwheel has a crown with small incisions for better finger traction. The board can use both a 3.3V or a 5V power supply. The One-Wire signal can be sent either through the mikroBUS AN or PWM pins. You choose which one by soldering the GP SEL jumper into the right position.

Force click Released
Force click is a mikroBUS add-on board with circuitry for implementing Interlink Electronics Force Sensing Resistors into your projects (with a single zone force sensing resistor included with the click).
The Force Sensing Resistor is a thin sensor made of two membranes that are separated by a spacer around the edges. When pressed, the gap between two membranes gets closed. This shorts the two membranes together, with a resistance that is proportional to applied force. The outputted analog voltage is thus a measure of force applied.
The force sensitivity range is from about 0.2N to 20N (although it depends on the implementation). Force click communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS AN pin. It is designed to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.

MCP25625 click (CAN) Released
MCP25625 click is a mikroBUS add-on board carrying a Microchip CAN controller with an integrated transceiver. It meets the automotive requirement for high speed operation (up to 1 Mb/s).
Named after the main chip, MCP25625 click also has a RS232 port, which is a standard connector for CAN communications. Additionally, the two CAN wires (CANL and CANH) can also be connected directly through two pins on the right edge of the board.
The click communicates with the target MCU through the SPI interface - although there are additional options that take the load off the target board MCU. To that end, all 16 mikroBUS pins are connected. There's a clock output, a Request To Send, an Interrupt, standby, reset and more. MCP25625 click can work with both 3.3V or 5V logic levels.

IR Beacon click Released
IR Beacon click is a mikroBUS add-on board with an array of nine high speed infrared emitting diodes. It functions as a beacon device, transmitting infrared rays in a wide angle, which can be detected by nearby infrared receivers (such as the one on IR click). Each of the nine VSMB2948SL diodes have a transparent plastic package that serve as tiny lenses.
The IR wave has a half intensity angle of ± 25 degrees. The diodes have high radiant power and intensity with a peak wavelengths of 940nm.
IR Beacon click is suitable for high pulse current operation. The mainboard MCU drives the infrared diodes through the mikroBUS MOD pin, providing a carrier signal (which can be modified to match the frequency of the receiver). Either UART or PWM can be used to transmit a signal to a target receiver (specified by the position of the TX SEL jumper is in the middle of the board).
The range is up to half a meter. You can increase it by stacking multiple IR Beacon clicks onto a same mikroBUS socket.
The board can use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.

Stretch click Released
Stretch click is a mikroBUS add-on board with circuitry for measuring stretch forces with conductive rubber cords. The click has screw terminals for connecting 2mm-diameter conductive rubber cord. The resistance of the chord increases when stretched, impacting the voltage available on the AN pin. Stretch click is designed to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.
In a "relaxed" state, the resistance is about 130 ohms per centimeter. As you pull on it, the resistance increases (the particles get further apart). As you stretch it out, the resistance increases. So lets say you have a 15cm piece - thats about 2.1 Kohms.
Stretch it to 25cm long and now it is 26/15*2.1K = 3.5 Kohms. You can stretch the rubber about 50-70% longer than the resting length, so a 15cm piece shouldn't be stretched more than 25cm. Once the force is released, the rubber will shrink back, although its not very "fast" and it takes a minute or two to revert to its original length. It's not a true linear sensor, and the resistance may vary from batch to batch, so we consider it a way to measure stretching motion but isn't really precise.
One meter of conductive rubber cord and two alligator clips are included in the package.

TIMER click Released
Timer click is a mikroBUS add-on board with Maxim's DS1682 total elapsed time recorder. The main feature of the IC is its elapsed time counter (ETC) used in conjunction with the ALARM pin. Whenever the EVENT pin is held high, the ETC will track time in quarter second resolution. Once the EVENT pin is set to logic low, the time data will be written in the IC's non volatile EEPROM. The next time the EVENT pin is pulled high, the timer will pick up where it left and continue measuring accumulated time. The upper limit is 34 years. In practical applications, the ALARM pin will be utilized to set off a flag once a certain threshold of accumulated time is reached. The alarm flag is one time programmable. The board communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS I2C interface, with two additional pins: ALARM (in place of default INT) and EVENT (in place of RST). Designed to use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.
