1. Introduction
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS
™
socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS
™
socket. If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board all the way
into the socket.

4. Essential features
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
Turn the board upside down so that
the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.
Before using your click
™
board, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

PS/2 click
™
is a cost-eective solution for
adding keyboard and mouse connectivity
to your design. It features a standard 6-pin
Mini-DIN PS/2 connector, a mikroBUS
™
host socket, and a power indicator LED.
It’s an alternative to the USB connector
used for modern peripherals. PS/2 click
™
communicates with the target board
through mikroBUS
™
RST (data) and CS
(clock) pins. It’s designed to use a 5V
power supply only.
Even though somewhat superseded by USB,
PS/2 connectors are still used. PS/2 click
™
is especially suited for connecting vintage
or certain modern high-end keyboards and
mice. One of the key benets of PS/2 is that
it supports full n-key rollover. It’s the ability
of the keyboard to handle any number of
simultaneous keystrokes.
