1. Introduction
3. Plugging the board in
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.
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.
4. Essential features
Inductive sensing is a contactless, magnet-
free technology. It’s highly reliable making
it suitable for use in harsh environments
- dust, dirt, oil or moisture don’t hinder
its performance. LDC1000 click
™
allows
you to achieve a high level of sensing
precision with a sub-micron resolution in
short range applications. You can use it to
infer attributes such as position, rotation,
motion, twist and torque, shape and even
defects in the material composition from
any conductive target. Onboard INA and
INB pins allow you to replace the provided
detachable sensor and solder your own.
LDC1000 click
™
carries the world’s rst
inductance-to-digital converter IC,
along with a detachable sensor (an LC
tank comprising a 36-turn PCB coil and a
100pF 1% NPO capacitor). The board can
be used for short range measurements
of the position, motion or composition
of conductive targets. LDC1000 click
™
communicates with the target board
through mikroBUS
™
SPI (CS, SCK, MISO,
MOSI) and INT lines. The board is designed
to use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.
