Gesture Board Released
The Gesture Board, carrying Microchip's MGSC3130 3D gesture recognition controller, brings a new approach to designing intuitive user interfaces. It's like a touchpad whose input area extends 10cm upwards into space. Users will be able to command an MCU or PC by gesturing with hands and fingers above the board, and by touching and tapping its surface. The board comes with an IDC cable connector. The silkscreen on the back of the board depicts various supported gestures (flicking, drawing circles, airwheels, taps and double taps and so on). The Gesture Board communicates over an I2C interface. For use with with a PC, a special I2C to USB adapter board is available (see 'Accessories').

SRAM click Released
SRAM click lets you add 1Mbit of additional SRAM memory to your devices, via the 23LC1024 chip. It organizes the memory into 8-bit instruction registers and 32-byte pages. Three operating modes for reading and writing data are available: byte, page, and sequential (the last one allows read/write for the entire memory array). The clock rate for all three modes is up to 20MHz. The board communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS SPI interface (MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS) with additional HOLD functionality provided through the default mikroBUS RST pin. SRAM click is designed to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.

Tilt-n-Shake click Released
TILT-n-SHAKE click carries Freescale’s MMA8491Q IC. It's a multifunctional 3-axis digital accelerometer that can also be configured as a 45-degree Tilt sensor. To use it as an accelerometer, keep the EN pin pulled to logic level high. The acceleration data will be outputted to the target MCU through mikroBUS I2C pins (SCL, SDA). The output time is about 700 microseconds, with a 14-bit resolution, ±8 full-scale range and 1 mg/LSB sensitivity. As a Tilt sensor, the click board needs only one output pin — INT (interrupt). Three onboard LEDs will also signal the tilt orientation. TILT-n-SHAKE click is designed to use a 3.3V power supply only.

DC Motor 2 click Released
DC MOTOR 2 click carries the TB6593FNG driver IC for direct current motors. With two pairs of screw terminals (power supply and outputs), the click board can drive motors with voltages from 2.5 to 13V (output current of up to 1.2 amps with peaks up to 3.2 amps). The PWM signal drives the motor while the IN1 and IN2 pins provide binary direction signals that set the direction of the motor (clockwise or counter clockwise), or apply stop or short brake functions. Stop mode cuts off the power supply so the motor continues spinning until it runs out of momentum. Short break brings it to an abrupt stop.
