UV click Released
Design devices that warn you of excesive ultraviolet radiation levels with UV click. This click boards carries the ML8511 IC that is sensitive to UV-A (365-315 nm) and UV-B (315-280 nm) rays. The board can output either analog or digital signals proportional to the amount of UV exposure. To bypass the onboard MCP3201 ADC and get an analog output, solder the A/D SEL jumper in the AN position. Depending on the position of the jumper, UV click communicates with the target board either through mikroBUS SPI (CS, SCK, MISO) or AN lines; additionally, the sensor can be enabled or disabled from the MCU through the RST (EN) pin. When handling UV click, be careful not to press or rub the sensitive surface of the ML8511 sensor IC. UV click uses a 3.3V power supply only.

Motion click (PIR) Released
MOTION click is a motion detector sensitive only to live bodies. It carries PIR500B, a pyroelectric sensor which generates a voltage when exposed to infrared light. The signal is processed by a BIS0001 PIR sensor controller which sends an interrupt to the MCU through the mikroBUS INT (out) line. An onboard potentiometer lets you adjust the detecting range of the sensor (up to 4 meters). MOTION click also has a night only mode—resoldering a zero-ohm jumper activates the onboard photo resistor which acts as a light-sensitive switch. You can also switch the sensor ON and OFF by sending a signal from the MCU through the mikroBUS RST pin. The board uses a 3.3V power supply only.

LIN Hall click Released
LIN HALL click carries an MLX90242 linear Hall sensor IC (with built-in active error correction circuitry) and an MCP3201 12-bit ADC. It outputs a signal that is proportional to the flux density of a magnetic field - a north magnetic field will increase the output value while a south magnetic field will cause it to decrease. The ratiometric output allows you to infer the linear or rotary position of a target object by placing magnets on it. LIN HALL click communicates with the target board through the mikroBUS SPI lines (CS, CSK, MISO). The board is designed to use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.

BI Hall click Released
Bi Hall click is a simple solution for adding a bipolar Hall switch to your design. It carries the Melexis US2882 bipolar Hall-effect switch and a 74LVC1T45 single bit, dual supply transceiver. A bipolar Hall effect sensor is sensitive to both north and south pole magnetic fields. Bi Hall click outputs a HIGH logic level when exposed to a south pole magnetic field, and a LOW logic level when exposed to a north pole magnetic field. When removed from a magnetic field, the logic level stays in its previous state. The US2882 IC integrates a Schmitt trigger with hysteresis, thus preventing output oscillation near the switching point between alternating magnetic poles. Bi Hall click communicates with the target board through the mikroBUS INT line. It's designed to use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.

To calibrate the sensor for the environment you’ll be using it in, Hydrogen click has a small potentiometer that allows you to adjust the load resistance of the sensor circuit. For precise calibration the sensor needs to preheat (once powered up, it takes over 24h to reach the right temperature). Hydrogen click communicates with the target board through AN (OUT) mikroBUS line. It's designed to use a 5V power supply only.
