Heart Rate 3 click Released
Heart rate 3 click is a mikroBUS add-on board whose functionality is determined by two components: an OSRAM’s SFH7050 pulse oximetry and heart rate monitoring module, and a TI AFE4404 (analong-front-end) IC specialized for bio-sensing.
The SFH7050 multichip package contains 3 LEDs and one photodiode separated with a light barrier to prevent optical crosstalk. When the three LEDs shine through a subject’s finger, some of the light is absorbed by the pulsating blood.
The analog reading from the SFH7050 is forwarded to the AFE chip that is able to derive pulse readings from the intensity of the reflected light.
AFE4404 is highly-configurable and adaptable for different usage scenarios (different lighting conditions or skin tones) making Heart rate 3 click a robust heart rate monitoring solution.
The board communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS™ I2C interface, with additional functionality provided by RST, CLK and RDY pins.
Heart rate 3 click works on a 3.3V power supply, but an onboard jumper allows you to set the voltage for driving the SFH7050 LEDs at either 3.3V or 5V.

R Meter click Released
R Meter click is a mikroBUS add-on board with circuitry for measuring the value of resistors. The board can be used to measure a wide range of resistors (from 0 to 1 Mega Ohm) The design is based on a non-inverting amplifier circuit, with the measured resistor placed in a feedback loop that influences the gain of the amplifier.
The analog output is fed through a 12-bit ADC with the final output going through the mikroBUS SPI interface.
Since the ADC has a limited min-max range (0-2043), R Meter click employs a multiplexer that can adjust the input signal to the amplifier and thus allow the same ADC to measure four different scopes of values (0-1k , 1k-100k, 100k-1M)
The supplied firmware automatically scans the ADC value and switches the multiplexer output based on the resistor in place. The multiplexer interfaces directly with the target board MCU through mikroBUS S1, S2, and S3 pins (in place of default mikroBUS PWM, INT and RST).
Onboard screw terminals are placed to allow the click to be used with multimeter probes.
The board is designed to use a 5V power supply.

Ammeter click Released
Ammeter click is a mikroBUS add-on board with circuitry for measuring electric current (both AC and DC).
Two onboard screw terminals (probe+ and probe-) are bringing in the current, which then passes through a shunt resistor. A voltage proportional to the strength of the current is generated accross the resistor. This voltage passes through an amplifier before it's fed into a 12-bit ADC which then outputs a digital value through the mikroBUS SPI interface.
The firmware processes the digital value to determine the exact amperage between 1mA and 1A for DC current. It's also possible to measure AC current by deriving the value from peak to peak measurements. At the same time, the voltage can be directly monitored through the AN pin.
The board uses either a 3.3V or 5V power supply (it's important not to power the board from the same power source you wish to measure).

Noise click Released
Noise click is a mikroBUS add-on board with noise detecting circuitry. It enables you to set a noise detection threshold for alarm systems, environmental monitoring or data logging. When the volume of ambient sound reaches the set threshold, an interrupt is triggered.

The 12-bit DAC provides the reference voltage - the noise threshold - for the comparator. You set the exact level through the SPI interface. The threshold should be configured through trial and error (4096 discrete values to select from).
Beside SPI, EN and OUT pins provide additional functionality.
