mikroBUS Compatible Clicker Receptacles

The mikroBUS Clicker Board is an evaluation platform that provides an easy extension to many applications. This platform consists of a series of Click Boards that are easily pluggable with the ATSAMR30M Sensor Clicker Board. The mikroBUS Click Boards support a wide range of different applications. These Click Boards are connected through a set of standardized headers and receptacles. All mikroBUS Clicker Boards contain two single row, 8-pin, 100-mil receptacles. The Clicker Boards have female connectors, while Click Boards have their male counterparts.

Note: All pins are not always connected. The Clicker receptacles can be used to connect a variety of Click Boards or to access the pins of the target MCU on the Clicker Board directly.

The mikroBUS Clicker Board receptacles (J1 and J2) provide the interface to use the ATSAMR30M Sensor Board. The following tables provide the pin details of these receptacles, respectively.
