2. Soldering the headers
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

LIN HALL click
™
, with its linear Hall sensor,
outputs a signal that is proportional to
the ux density of a magnetic eld. The
output signal will increase when a north
magnetic eld is applied, while a south
magnetic eld will cause it to decrease.
The ratiometric output can be used to
measure the strength of dierent magnets,
or to measure the distance between the
sensor and a magnet (which can be used
for linear or rotary position sensing by
placing magnets on the target object).
LIN HALL click

LIN HALL click
™
is a simple solution
for adding a linear Hall sensor to your
design. It carries an MLX90242 linear
Hall sensor IC (with built-in active
error correction circuitry) and an
MCP3201 12-bit ADC. LIN HALL click
™
communicates with the target board
through the mikroBUS
™
SPI lines (CS,
SCK, MISO). The board is designed to use
either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.
