2. Soldering the headers
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
PWM click can be used to control anything
from a LED strip, set of servo motors, to a
complex robot with a multitude of moving
parts. The board has an additional set of
pins that allow you to connect up to seven
PWM clicks together (using three jumpers
to specify a dierent I
2
C address for each
one). This way, you can get a total of 112
PWM outputs on a single I
2
C line!
1
PWM click is a simple solution for con-
trolling 16 PWM outputs through a single
I
2
C interface. The click board
™
carries the
PCA9685PW IC. In addition to mikroBUS
™
I
2
C pins (SCL, SDA), the board also uses a
LOW Output Enable Input pin (OE), which is
in place of the default mikroBUS
™
RST pin.
PWM click is designed to use either a 3.3V or
5V power supply.
