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
The tactile feel from a pushbutton cannot be
easily substituted by onscreen user interfaces.
Multitouch gestures, swipes, taps and double
taps have their place, but if you need a reliable
way to control an important switch, and a way
of always knowing whether contact has been
made, hardware pushbuttons are irreplace-
able. It doesn’t have to be an on/o switch
either. Since the backlight LED is controlled
independently, you can program dierent pat-
terns (varying level of light intensity or rate of
blinking on subsequent button presses), giv-
ing additional feedback to the end-user.

Button G click is the simplest solution for
adding a single pushbutton to your design.
The button itself is transparent, 6.8mm in
diameter and has a green LED backlight.
When pressed, it sends an interrupt signal
to the target board microcontroller, while
the LED is controlled separately through the
mikroBUS
™
PWM pin. Button G click can use
either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.
