MIKROE mikroBUS Shuttle Bundle

Shuttle Click in combination with mikroBUS Shuttle provides an easy and elegant solution for stacking multiple Click boards™ on a single mikroBUS™. Shuttle Click can be especially interesting for the IoT development systems that are equipped with a very small number of mikroBUS™ slots. Using Shuttle Click on such system will greatly improve its usability by adding more mikroBUS™ sockets yet it will remain small compact and manageable. When there's a need to expand the development system with even more mikroBUS™ slots one of the free mikroBUS shuttles can be populated with yet another Shuttle Click allowing even more connections. This makes the stacking capacity almost unlimited. However attention should be paid not to make mikroBUS™ lines too long. In situations like this the frequency of the communication might need to be stepped down a bit in order to compensate for the longer mikroBUS™ signal lines. Lines of the mikroBUS™ to which Shuttle Click is attached are shared through all four ICD BOX headers - each of the four ICD BOX 2x8 pin headers mirrors pins of the connected mikroBUS™. Therefore each mikroBUS Shuttle add-on board shares the same mikroBUS™ pins as the other mikroBUS Shuttles connected to the same Shuttle Click. For this reason an extra care should be taken when working with Click boards™ that share the same pins on the mikroBUS™ either for the communication (SPI UART I2C) or for some other purpose (RST INT or other pins used as GPIO). For example I2C and 1-Wire protocols are designed with stacking in mind so the collision avoidance mechanisms are already in place for these protocols. It is enough to change the peripheral address of the Click board™ and data collision won't be a problem anymore even while sharing the same pins for the communication. Also since all the stacked Click boards™ share the same power rails a care should be taken when combining Click boards™ with significant power consumption. The union of Shuttle Click mikroBUS Shuttle and Click boards™ allows you to reach an unlimited number of possibilities when it comes to combining different functionalities. You just need to choose the ones you want from our ever-growing range: environmental sensors LEDs speech recognition heart rate sensors motor control GSM GPS WiFi analog to digital converters movement sensors.Includes: 1x Shuttle Click 4x mikroBUS™ Shuttle 4x Ribbon Cable with 16-pin female connectors 200 mm
