SOCKETS
The superior connectivity features of the EasyMx PRO v7a development board are
rounded up with two standardized mikroBUS
™
host connectors. It is a considerable
upgrade for the board, as it allows interfacing with the vast amount of
Click boards
™
.
mikroBUS
™
is the add-on board standard that offers maximum expandability with
the smallest number of pins. More information at
www.mikroe.com/mikrobus
All the
mikroBUS
™
sockets
are now redesigned and improved. They became much
sturdier, allowing a better grip of the Click board
™
. In addition to added horizontal
supports between two 8-pin connectors, the right lower edge is chamfered at
the angle of 45°, the same as the Click board
™
, making it seamlessly fit into the
mikroBUS
™
socket. The new mikroBUS
™
socket is now a fully-fledged, standardized
monolithic component with all its pins clearly labeled, offering very good grip for the
Click board
™
, preventing it to flip over or to be placed incorrectly.
The mikroBUS
™
socket supports the following communication interfaces:
SPI, UART
,
and
I
2
C
. There are also single pins reserved for
PWM
,
Interrupt
,
Analog input
,
Reset
,
and
SPI Chip Select
. The mikroBUS
™
socket also contains pins with the two power
rails (
3.3V and 5V
), along with the
GND pins
.
